Very cute bungalow — we loved the vibe and layout, and the bed was really comfortable.
The outlook was nice, although the property in front had quite tall trees that partially obscured the view.
The location was fairly noisy, with the main road directly below the property, so it wasn’t quite as peaceful as we had hoped. That said, we felt it was a good option for a shorter stay, as it was for us, and we enjoyed our time here.
Short walk out of Muri - where there were plenty of dining choices. Elevated position provided for lagoon views - outside seating was ideal. Unit is compact but adequate for a couple. We used coffee plunger ( but needed own ground coffee). Instant coffee & tea & milk) provided. Our first time to Rarotonga - we were quite happy with our choice. We used hire bikes to get around (provided bikes too small for a tall guy).
We enjoyed our comfy cabin #1 lowest on the hill with some lagoon view of Motutapu and Oneroa Islands. The kayaks were handy. It was quite windy for most of the week. But with some breaks in the wind and weather checking and seeing from our balcony the tide and wind suitability for kayaking we enjoyed the kayaks three times. I kayaked three islands in an hour or so. We kayaked to and snorkelled in the calm Koromiri Island mooring area. I videoed two Giant Trevally swim by me. They must’ve followed the island tour boats there.A 15min walk south to the TEM store, Muri Night markets, Filipino bakery , and restaurants. A 13min walk north to the Turangi Eatery which is a laid back Raro pub with good size servings. We caught the buses just at the bottom of our driveway for other adventures. Thanks to our host Roseanne.
