About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Capture the view, hear the waves -TepaeruVista

Sit on the deck, feel the soft sea breeze, while taking in the beautiful vista views of the; lagoon, fauna, the orcas and humpback whales playing where the horizon meets the sea. This stand-alone house is ideal for a family who want to enjoy a shared holiday experience.

Located just 200 meters from the beach TepaeruVista sits on a gently raised, natural platform safe from tidal surges looking out over one of the most beautiful lagoons in the world. The combination of location and design maintains the living environment at a comfortable level all year round without the need for air conditioning.

While private this place is deceptively close to: restaurants, transport, beaches, heath and beauty spa and other tourists destinations.

If you are into a light and breezy, tropical holiday experience without the sacrifice of home comfort then don't hestitate to book.
The vacation home features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, an electric kettle, and an ironing board.

The views are fantastic. Although you have elevated views, it is a short manageable walk to the beach. My 19 year-old daughter walked to the beach regularly accompanied by Rex the dog and who swam with her. She felt very safe. The home is very close to Wigmore’s a 24 hour petrol station and small supermarket. Besides selling normal grocery items it also sells chicken curry meals and yummy steaks for the barbecue. The property is very clean and tidy and serviced regularly with clean towels and sheets. The Home is on the south side of the island, walking distance to Vaimas a very well known and popular restaurant right on the beach. Also a short drive to Muri night markets.

We arrived two days late as our flight was cancelled. The house was open and welcoming. Two dogs welcomes us Rex and Dog. They became part of our family for the week of our stay. The house is perfectly located and close to all amenities like Wigmores and food places . The owner Josephine is super accommodating and helpful. We loved our time here. We are not resort fans and prefer privacy. This is what you get here. We will be back.

great views

was very well equipped with an amazing view from the balcony. it was not easy to find as there is no signage from the road. wigmores store is very helpful and close which was lucky as i didn’t have google maps capacity. The wifi was not great but that only bothered the teenager! met the owner once and would have had more contact with her if i had data as she was emailing me(my bad) she seemed very lovely and accomodating. all and all a great stay and a fantastic holiday.

The property is maintained in excellent condition by the owners Bruce and Josephine. It is extremely clean, well stocked with staples and in a great location. It is handy to some of the best swimming and snorkeling on the island and Wigmores is conveniently located only minutes away. Bruce and Josephine are generous, kind hosts and will make you feel very welcome

Great Stay

A great place to stay! Our friends were just down the road at Raro Beach Bach so very convenient. Please make a sign for the bottom of the hill so it’s easier to find. Asked several locals and no one had heard of it.

Directions to the property

The map shows an incorrect location of the house. The easiest way to find it is if your coming from the airport and you pass the Sheraton on your left, you will come just into Vaima BEFORE Wigmores. There is a street opposite the DVD shop and take it to the top of the hill. Turn right, then take the gravel road on the right. The house is on the right. It has amazing views and a very nice breeze! It’s nice and close to Wigmores and very central to other amenities! Would definitely stay here again!

wonderful relaxing, and great conversations

propped up on an embankment with a view of the ocean picture framed with papaya, coconut trees and plenty of other tropical flora, and fauna lies the perfect home away from home in Rarotonga. This property is nestled in a community of local family, and friends of the island. Although it is very private, you can immerse yourself easily as much or as little as you would like with all people of the land. During my daughters, and my stay we were lucky enough to have the company, and conversation of the matriarc of the family Josephine, although the property is usually run, and handled by her handy, and knowledgeable daughter, and neice. Overall this was one of the most relaxing vacations I have had in a long time, and maybe ever. Have came home missing my favorite entertainment though the roosters, and chickens.
