A very nice hut with lots of amenities. The kitchen is really well equipped, they provided also some basic stuff to get you going. It's very clean and we were not so much bothered with bugs like im other places we stayed in the Cooks. It's a bit off the main road so you do get a lot of privacy and there are some beautiful gardens around.

The secluded environment was great. Felt like you are on your own. No kids policy works for us even though does not really bother us either. All essential items were provided which was good to see.

2 villas set in beautiful gardens with a pool, ladder access. Identical villas, 1 bedroom with kitchen, 2 hobs, microwave, fridge freezer and bathroom basin, toiket, large shower. Outside deck area with 2 loungers, 2 chairs and table outside shower. Really clean on arrival with bed made and towels 2 toilet rolls and toiletries. No cleaner or fresh towels or sheets all week which was a downside. Half hour walk to local supermarket. Bus passes end of road every half hour.

Absolutely gorgeous place
JJ,s retreat is amazing. I honestly can’t fault this place. The grounds are outstanding. The villa is gorgeous. Super clean. Beautifully decorated. We had a blast here. Just left the property last night. It has its own swimming pool. Very quiet place. I 100% recommend this place. It was approx a 20 minute walk to the Aroa beach which is one of the best snorkelling spots on the island which has a nice fish and chip restaurant there and the dive centre and bike & car rental. It’s super close to the Rarotonga beach club & spa hotel. This location is just up a side road from the waterfront but it’s worth the walk. Very decently priced. You will benefit if you have a bike rental ($12 down the road let day) or a car. There is a bunch of fruit trees on the property that you can pick fruit from. Bananas, mandarin oranges, mangos, lemons etc.

Beautiful Bungalows in Paradise
We had a wonderful time at JJ's. It is a very detail oriented bungalow retreat, with a lovely yard and mountain back drop setting. We were there from June 12 - 23 2017. James and Vanessa could not have been more gracious and generous. What awesome hosts, and what an awesome place. Thanks so much!
