Raro escape

Perfect place to stay for a family or group. Property has everything you require and the privacy that you dont get in a resort with freedom to move. Plenty of facilities in easy walking distance. Bus at gate or hire a car. Would come again without hesitation

Relaxing and Beautiful Mountain views

What a beautiful place, everything was perfect from the start of booking to the end everything flow so happy, Gabrielle was awesome to communicate with.This home is beautiful and spacious, had everything you needed, views of the mountains from the veranda was awesome, home location is awesome, primo there's a store across the road, restaurants and bars just up the road (OTB) if you didn't have a vehicle when on the island you could stop the bus just out the front on the main road. Love the home, love the people, love the island can't wait to come back

Family holiday

The home was easy to find and get into. The set up was good for the 6 of us and we liked how there was a roon more seperate from the house . The pool was clean The amenities were plentiful We didnt like how mnay ants there were all over the place insdie and out , there is definitely an issue that needs sorting as other homes we have stayed in havent had them Loved how there was plenty of seating in all areas of the home inside and out for us to relax in . Plenty of ceiling fans too which were very needed !!! Also liked how there were cleaning products in the kitchen and bathrooms so we could use if necessary When we arrived it smelt of bad body odour in one bedroom and stale cigarettes in the house Nothing that couldn't be easily sorted but maybe a fabric spray on the curtains etc would help this to be more welcoming after each guest checks out Would return for sure as we could barely hear the roosters and dogs too which was a bonus not to have to wear ear plugs like previous hones we have stayed in !!!! Thankyou

Response from VrboOwner on 26 February 2024

Thanks for the review Nikki, glad you appreciated the home comforts! Every now and then ants suddenly just appear in large numbers - best cure I’ve found is the ant chalk we leave for guests to use. I’ve passed your comments to our housekeeper and both will be addressed- thank you for bringing this to our attention, and glad you enjoyed your stay.

Pacific perfection

Whats not to love about a beautiful cottage by the sea on a remote atoll in the Pacific Ocean! We wanted for nothing staying here, from the courtesy airport transfers to the delightfully appointed home that greeted us. We loved every minute of our stay here and wouldn't suggest anything change until we get back again. Already saving!!

Response from VrboOwner on 1 April 2020

Great to hear how much you enjoyed the house and your holiday! (The date of your stay was from 30th November 2018, just putting that in for accuracy as somehow the published date showed as January 2018). Glad you got in plenty of snorkelling and beach time, as well as relaxing in our pool, which we love too. Come back soon!

The house location is on a busy street but yet convenient with stores close-by.

The house location is on a busy street but yet convenient with stores close-by. Our first impression is that the house is very homely. We enjoyed the 1st season of Modern Family with the DVD player in the house. There is a beach access through the road next to the house. The beach is not as great as the other part of the island but worth checking out. We enjoyed the pool and it is a nice touch with the house. The papayas and passion fruits were great and we are luck to tried them.

About the host

Hosted by gabrwn494

We are a Kiwi couple with grandchildren aged from 3 to 16 and we have been coming to the Cook Islands on holiday for 25 years. In 2010 we able to buy our house and upgrade it to holiday rental standard, adding our own private pool and a third bedroom suite. We are based in Auckland but spend several weeks in Raro each year, and we continue to make improvements to the house and garden, knowing that what we enjoy so much, others will too!

Why they chose this property

After so many years holidaying I many different properties, we knew what would make Raro perfect for us and this house, Pacific Time, is it. We have the best of all worlds here... best weather on the island, wonderful sunsets and we are spoilt for choice when in comes to Happy Hour beach bars and restaurants close by, yet we have a lovely spacious kitchen, BBQ, loads of outdoor seating to cater for ourselves right here at home.

What makes this property unique

Private pool, very secluded, and only 250 metres to sandy beach, 5mins walk to great selection of restaurants, beach bars and local shops
