For the price range this is an excellent place to stay. Room was very clean and tidy. Beach access is easy to a nice beach. Swimming pool is excellent and very well maintained. Location is good, very close to Black Rock which is one of the best swimming spots and has food trucks with great burgers and the best coffee we had in Rarotonga. Cooks Oasis is also very handy to the airport and town. Property is set back from the road so it is nice and quiet. The hosts were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. They were amazing and went the extra mile to ensure things were easy for us with our little one. We stayed at other places within the same price bracket and found this to be better. A great place to stay, highly recommended.

The staff were simply sensational, they went out of their way to assist you where ever they could. The only downfall with the establishment is that in the room that we originally booked I didn’t check that it had air conditioning as I must assumed that in 2025 all rooms at that price would have air conditioning especially as the Cook Islands. When we arrived due to the heat the staff manager had reassigned our room to one that was air conditioning and had already turn the unit on so the main living area was cool. The only area where the air conditioning could not reach was like a sauna so I can only assume that if we were not relocated our accommodation would have been unbearable. Hopefully the owners install air conditioning to all for the health and safety of all guests.

Good value for money; the room felt spacious and was air-conditioned, free wi-fi available. Nice and quiet as it is a smaller accommodation and there weren’t many other guests around when we were there. If you like your resort feel though this doesn’t have the ‘luxury’ factor, you don’t have your deck chairs and pool facing the ocean like some of the resorts around. But it is simple and homely and a good base for exploring the beautiful island. The beach is a short stroll down the driveway and you can snorkel there, but it tended to be more choppy water than elsewhere on the island, as the waves break closer to shore (on the fringe of the reef). Everything is just a short drive or bus ride away in Raro, and this accommodation is in close proximity to many dining options and other beaches to snorkel at. Overall if you are keeping to a budget this is a very decent choice!
