Home and garden

Six NZers, all repeat visitors to Rarotonga booked this house for a week. It has its own private beach house (w kayaks and chairs and shower), it has a gorgeous garden and views of the peaks and taro fields. It is back off the road so quiet and private. It’s very clean and well provisioned and the 24/7 shop is close by. We received instant help when a door slammed shut in wind gust, from lovely management staff and really enjoyed our stay. Would recommend.

Great family getaway

A perfect property for everyone to have the own space with the communal area for hanging out located in the middle of the house. We loved the small touch of fresh bread, cheese, juice, milk and eggs after arriving on the late flight into Raro. Thanks Connie and family.

A Hidden Gem

A lovely stay in a stunning location … excellent amenities and perfect for a family of teenagers - everyone got their own space. Located super close to the beach and walking distance to some excellent snorkeling opportunities. The indoor/outdoor living at this property was perfect for us and we enjoyed the beautiful tropical garden. The home was perfectly appointed and there was nothing we needed. Thank you for a memorable and relaxing stay.

Rarotonga bliss

our family love the well appointed home with lovely sheltered garden. Ideal for my 3 year old grand daughter to play in safely and just a short walk across the road to the beach where there is a great beach hut with kayaks and a little kitchen....outdoor tables and chairs. Our family loved the location, the beach, the house....it is our second stay. I can recommend it for families or a group of friends

Fabulous property with spectacular gardens

Wow! What a beautiful property. The gardens are absolutely stunning and the location is perfect. The beach hut is a wonderful addition giving this property the best of both worlds. This property would suit families and adults alike. Thank you Connie for allowing our family group to stay in your lovely home. We felt that Connie was available if we needed anything but we appreciated that she allowed us our privacy and space. Also, we absolutely love your dog who we nicknamed “Pete” while we were there. He was a loved extra member of the family We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again Thank you!! Joel and Daya

Great property

We had a wonderful time at Connies place, the house is perfect for a family of 7 adults. Great living areas and bedrooms, and the covered bbq area meant we could still cook and eat outside when it rained. We loved the beach house, its a fantastic spot right on the beach. Great sitting on the deck having a late afternoon wine while enjoying the view of the lagoon.

A huge thank you to Connie

We arrived before check-in time but while Connie and her people were still preparing the property we were able to drop our bags. A huge welcome from her family and staff gave is an indication as to the graciousness of the Cook Island people and we weren't dissapointed. We will be back to Raraotonga in tne next few months and we will bo contacting Connie to arrange accommodation. She is brilliant and well commended.

Great location great house great host

Had 2 v relaxing weeks in this comfortable spotlessly clean house with beautiful gardens and views of the mountains. It is very well equipped and thankfully has air con in the bedrooms ! The beach is a hop and a skip away and the Beach House was where i spent most of my time enjoying the sea breezes and the view of the stunning lagoon. Connie was away much of the time I was there but other members of her family were at hand and happy to help and advise whilst respecting privacy. I very much hope to return before too long .

Spacious house with comfortable beds and a choice of places to relax, set in beautiful gardens with mountain views. The beach hut was a bonus, the lagoon lovely swimming. Overall a perfect spot for our three generation family of 7 adults and a toddler.

Everything you need

We loved our stay here and felt at home straight away. The house had plenty of space for our family of six and the teens even had their own bedrooms. The kitchen and BBQ is really well set up for self-catering. It has a lovely garden and is in a great location right across the road from the beach where the turtle tours leave (I highly recommend booking this in advance with Snorkel Cook Islands) and it's just down the road from Wigmore's Store, which sells fresh local fruit and vege, chutneys, coconut milk and yummy puddings, as well as everything else you might need. The weather was very windy in July when we visited so we didn't spend a lot of time at the beach hut, though this is a great feature. Instead we explored the island and the house was always a relaxing home base to return to, sit on the couch in the sheltered courtyard and have a nice glass of Cook Islands lager to finish off the day. Thank you Connie!

This a lovely comfortable spacious holiday home for a group of people to enjoy each others company at and also have access to use the beautiful beach and facilities at the beach hut across the road. Definitely recommend a vehicle, which Connie was most helpful in organising. We enjoyed our stay, the property worked well for our group of 6. (three generations).

Beautiful home

The house was beautiful, with all the features you could ask for including a well stocked kitchen and a delicious fruit bowl. Located down a driveway less than 100m from the beach, its quiet and private with a stunning garden. The four private bedrooms were perfect for our group of 6 adults, and the beds were all really comfy. Connie and her team were terrific. Communication was great and the whole holiday was made easy for us by Connie. We would recommend this house to others for a wonderful relaxing holiday!

Paradise

Just experienced the best three weeks of my Life. Everyone who joined me couldnt stop saying how lovely everything was staying at this beautiful property. I am very happy to write to express my thanks to you Connie and family (and Toka) for a truly wonderful experience staying at Relax @ Aramoana. This is the most relaxing oasis in Rarotonga, who would have known tucked away down the drive is your own piece of paradise. The garden and beach has been so inspiring with all different flowers blooming each day from the Coconut Palms, Anthriums, Hibiscus, Heliconia, Frangipani, Bananas, Tropical Pink and White Gingers, Pomegranate, Orchids blooming out of trees, even a grove of Gardenias! Not forgeting the vibrant colours of foliage. My favourite part was going for a bit of an adventure in the kayak on the lagoon or walking the beach at dusk and watching the sunset in colours from yellow, orange, pink and blood red. Then watching the white ghost crabs run over the beach then disappear. Cooking a BBQ at the Kabana house on the beach and Salsa dancing on the deck. The most beautiful part of Rarotonga are the people, thank you Connie for being our host! I recommend to new house guests to stay as long as you can, embrace everything this gentle way of life on the Island has to offer... the experience will change your life! You will be seeing us back again soon! Martina Molloy
