Perfect Getaway

Had an amazing time and the house had everything we needed. Large spacious clean rooms, great outdoor dining area which provided great family evenings. Beach hut across the road was an added bonus and had snorkelling gear, kayaks etc. Connie is a great host and had just the right amount of communication. Would recommend this place. Roosters always a problem with noise, use earplugs if you are a light sleeper, it is the same all-around Rarotonga.

Home away from Home

We had an absolutely delightful stay at Connie’s and would highly recommend! Lovely home, plenty of room for all 7 of us, clean and lots of little touches that were much appreciated. The gardens are beautiful, the views incredible and just across the road from a gorgeous beach. Then you have your very own beach hut which is much bigger than I expected & has plenty of kayaks, snorkels, reef shoes etc and loads of room to sit and watch the kids play on the beach if you get tired. We really could have stayed a lot longer and would definitely come back again. Location is very handy. Connie is a lovely lady as is her sister Jacqui. Thankyou so much for a wonderful stay :)

Wonderful location. The house is luxurious with everything one needs and a stunning garden. Connie is a lovely hostess. A minute stroll to the beach. The 'beach hut' is very spacious. A wonderful space to hang out with books and company. There is a shower to wash off after swims. There is a 'snorkel with the turtles' outing that leaves from next door.

House by the beach

The house, with its geckos and kayaks was great. Water cooler was a great addition as well as the welcome pack with delicious papayas. Rooms were spacious and comfortable but it would have been great to know the bedrooms were outside of the main living area as it was a bit disconcerting to have no locks on the house and have bedrooms able to be accessed from the yard. There were no problems while we stayed but it did take some getting used to.

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.

Amazing Location!!! Perfect for the whole family

We loved our stay. Seriously couldn’t have picked a better location. We loved the ocean front covered beach hut. The kayaks and stand up paddle boards were perfect for our ocean adventures. The dogs in the island were my favorite part. Sweet and friendly. Thanks Connie

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.

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.

Best house I've stayed in on the island. Perfect for two families, screens on the windows so no bugs, and everything we needed. The beach hut was an added bonus, and we felt like we had our own private beach. Communication was a bit slow, but Connie was on holiday so not her fault. We'll definitely be back!

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

We were looking for a home large enough for our family of 6, with a garden area for the children to get outside and play. We were also looking for a place close to the beach. Relax at Aramoana delivered on both accounts. It was spacious enough for all of us; comfortable home and the gardens are beautiful. The beach house and beach area were outstanding-just a short walk down the driveway. We are already looking forward to booking again!

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 .

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.
