This review is very late, apologies. I set up an account just so I could write this review. My parents and my husband and I were fortunate enough to stay… read more at this place just before the lockdown on separate occasions. Loved it, just loved it.
We hired a red convertible and zipped around everywhere. Loved the stainless steel quality kitchen equipment, we prepared fresh fish (fish shop next to airport) and fresh fruit (markets and street vendors) every day. It was just a really wonderful time. Some of the reviews mentioned traffic noise, we didn’t hear anything, not sure how this is even an issue. You do however hear the waves crashing at night which is so peaceful and relaxing. We had a muddy outlook but the last day it all washed away revealing beautiful sands. The location is great, nice and peaceful, especially if you have a car. Drive up the road and you’ve got the Fruits of Rarotonga a lovely snorkelling spot. Drive the other way up the road (if you stand on the balcony and look to your right) is a passage and people do snorkelling with turtles there – so magical.
They give you some complementary wifi and breakfast supplies. (My parents didn’t know about the free wifi which is a shame as they aren’t very computer literate and I had warned them before they went that there wouldn’t be wifi based on other reviews) – this has obviously now changed. Loved eating breakfast and dinners on the balcony out the back – soooooooooooooooooo beautiful – and so many great eating options around the island in close driving proximity to the villas.
Beverley, Stephanie and Craig were great. We are pretty sure we were one of the last Aussies off the island before the borders closed and Craig even offered for us to take one of the pillows in case of a long layover in Auckland. We didn’t, but I should’ve as those pillows were lovely haha. Hope to come back one day. Thank you guys for a lovely holiday, we were lucky to get it in before lockdown 🙂 Give Rufus a cuddle for me.
