Tanias Island Getaway 2

Both homes have covered verandas and out door seating, thru the ranch sliders the homes open up to spacious dining and living areas, with full modern kitchens at the back. To the sides are the two bedrooms and bathroom.

Set on a massive enclosed section and on a very quiet road, Tanias offers a big yard for the kids to play in and ample covered veranda space for the grown ups to watch them (whilst sipping on a G and T).

100 metres away is the islands top coffee house and roaster (Neil Dearlove), and also Rarotongas best baker (Reuben Dearlove his son)... mental note fresh baked croissants and bread every Monday, Wednesday and Friday (be there early).

The immediate coastline where Tanias is situated is rugged, and although not ideal for swimming (its corally) is perfect for up close rock pooling and reef fishing.

Tanias is less than a five minute drive to Muri Lagoon, and all things Muri (beaches, resturants and hotel bars) and five minutes to the main township of Avarua (when there arn't road works).

For one or two families looking for a high value/comfort level, Tanias will "check the box".
Special conditions:
The house has a Bluesky wifi hotspot, to access it you need to open your browser, it will default to the Cook Islands BlueSky page, in the lower left corner, you’re able to by a data package (they’ll send you a username and password). Its quite expensive…

150mb NZ$10.00
500mb NZ$25.00
1.25gb NZ$50.00

Extras: Cleaning (included); Linen (included);
The vacation home features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a private yard, and a coffee maker.

Location

Well built and well equipped units in a good location close to a shop and petrol station. Only drawback is the closest decent swimming area is about 5km away so having a car is a good idea. A small bakery that is within easy walking distance has the best croissants on the island.

Very peaceful

Excellent property close to great convenience store and burger bar. Walking distance. Tania's is a nice spacious unit with all amenities needed for a great stay. You can park right at the door. Fantastic shower. Property is off the main road and down a right of way so very little road noise. Next to Paws and Claws so no dogs barking all night

Great little hideaway.

Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Quiet and private it is still only a 5 minute drive or 20 minute stroll down the inner road to Muri Beach. This is an exceptionally well equipped house that comes with brand new appliances and furniture, so does not have the headaches of some. It has large bedrooms with very comfortable beds, everything you need and more in the highly functional kitchen, a clean fresh bathroom with washing machine and both solar and electric hot water. We stayed here for a month and found the place wanting in nothing. The photos do not do this gem justice. We will be booking Tania’s cottages next time we are in Raro. Thanks for everything Eddie.
