Sylvia - Thanks for allowing us to stay in your home in Rarotonga.
We received great instructions so it was easy to find (even in the dark after our late arrival). Everything we needed to have a relaxed stay was there. Chilled bottled water on arrival was great touch.
We filled the cupboards and large fridge with supermarket food and cooked meals most of our week with exception of Island Night and a dinner out at nearby resorts. It was fantastic to be able to cook, and eat meals under the veranda every breakfast lunch and dinner to our own timetable.
There are sun loungers which we used as the weather was hot and sunny. And the outdoor shower to clean the sand off was a bonus. The highlight for us was the few steps from the front steps to the beach and lagoon. The best bit of the beach is right out front with sandy lagoon perfect for swimming and cooling off. The sunsets were different everynight.
We were visited by the neighbourhood hens and dogs who joined us in the shade of the coconut trees everyday. While they seemed friendly, be aware the dogs came and went on their own so if dogs arent for you then this home may not be for you. Also the bird life rises early each morning so if you are a light sleeper take earplugs as sleeping with open windows lets in the neighbourhood sounds :-)
The home is cool and restful with slatted windows and fans to help keep temperatures pleasant. Everything was clean and ready to use so we were able to relax and start our holiday as soon as we arrived. Some family photos on the walls encouraged us to build our own family memories while staying in the home.
Thank you Sylvia for allowing us to stay in your home.
