As we are living on the island but not onsite we will stop by at some stage to say Kia Orana (hello), other than that we leave you to it - it is your place for your entire stay.

There is a Guest Compendium that tells you everything you need to know, do and see to help you maximize your stay.

We want you to experience the island and what it has to offer for yourselves and our guests always go back home and spread the word on our little paradise island in the Pacific !

Who would Vaka Beach Retreat Suit?
- a couple wanting something modern, a bit up market but at a great nightly rate
- guests wanting to be close to the beach (30 steps) with no roads to cross just a few steps away but dont want to pay the large nightly rates for absolute beach front.
- guests wanting a private get away , the apartment is upstairs with no one else either side or above you - just you !
- those not wanting to be in the main tourist hubs of the island, the South Side is still quiet and not full of resorts and hotels. its easy enough to get to the main areas of the island but you dont need to be staying amongst it !

The owners have created a genuine vibrant island atmosphere and you will feel part of this friendly and busy community. there is a great convenience store just two minutes walk from the Apt as well as a takeaways and a dvd shop for those nights when you just want to relax with a movie after a day in the sun!
Getting around the island is so easy if you dont wish to have transport. There is a bus service that will take you clock or anti clockwise around the island every 45 mins - just tell the driver where you want to get off!

Lots of guests enjoy seeing the island by scooter which is a great way to get around especially when the suns out !

A more relaxing way to see the island is by hiring a bicycle either pedal or electric from Ride Rarotonga. they will even drop it off to the apartment .

We are here to help through the booking process with loads of info and knowledge and are on hand during stay time for any assistance.

We look forward to helping you have a amazing island experience in a genuine 'paradise'
