10/10 Excellent
"Shhh don't tell anyone about our secret paradise. We're really impressed with this tropical, homely stay. It was far better than we expected! Rudy and Kanoe were warm, responsive and accommodating, and their artwork is stunning. Ieremia loved the banter. The location is beautiful, with the beach just steps away. The accommodation was spotless, with a lovely deck for watching the waves, a kitchen with everything needed to cook, spacious and refreshing bedrooms, and clean bathrooms. A supermarket, takeaway, spa and restaurant are all a short walk away. We'd definitely stay again and recommend it to anyone heading to Rarotonga."
