Amazing location, accross from the most stunning beach. There is a bit of road noise, as expected on the main road, but we managed to get to sleep. Beds were comfortable, ceiling fans were a life saver. Spacious house with plenty of room for the kids to play inside and outside on the grass, they loved the chickens and dogs who came to visit. Great for a family with children, or anyone who wants a peaceful stay away from busy resorts. Thank you!

Cute bungalow by the beach

This is a cute and affordable little bungalow not far from the Muri Beach area. Shops, coffee, restaurants are all nearby. Furnishings are comfortable if simple. It was perfect for us.

Great location

Had a great time. Good snorkelling and swimming across the road. Lots of cafes and restaurants around. Stand out place to eat fresh was Maire Nui Gardens and Cafe. Muri Night Markets visited several times. The house was well protected against mosquitoes, ceiling fans in every room was great; along with how all the windows can open to keep cool. We had a great stay.

We really enjoyed our stay, amazing location directly across from the beach, perfect spot for swimming and snorkelling. House was equipped with everything we needed.

Great family home

We had a wonderful holiday and made this house our own home for the duration. The property is large and the house is lovely. A few things need updating but we were overall very happy. The location is good, over the road from the beach meant we were protected from the wind. There is a local dog that steals shoes and we lost a few before we realised and stored them all inside. Thanks Eddie, we really enjoyed our stay.

The Perfect Spot

What a great place to stay, excellent spot across from the Fruits of Rarotonga, the best snorkeling spot, House was great for kids lots of space, front and back decks, bbq, coconuts etc. Charlie's is just a short walk down the road, they do amazing food and cocktails, there is a little shop down the road to grab the morning paper. Plenty of sheets and towels, everything we needed. Eddie was great to deal with had no issues whatsoever. Thanks we will be back.

Loved our stay here! Comfortable beds, plenty of towels. Cooking equip was lacking, but it didn’t really matter. A few more bowls for cereal would have been good. This house was a hub for our group. We also rented another house 50m down the road. With extra family also on the island, we enjoyed hanging out together. Location was lovely, right across the road from the beach. Great to have a cafe right next door, Charlie’s within 500m. A small shop was a couple of min walk. We had an issue with the power and Eddie was quick to send out an electrician after I sent him a message. Eddie also sent a message to advise on the tsunami warning that occurred during our time there. I appreciated that he considered us and letting us know what to expect.

Amazing time in Raro

Great value for a fab location. Just across the road is the best snorkeling. Eddie was a super host that went above and beyond in that - we locked ourselves out and he dropped off extra key to us mid week. We can’t wait to go back to the Cook Islands again. This place was perfect for a group of ladies like us who had an active holiday going out and about and it would also be great for a family wanting a house base. Only thing to note is bring earplugs for the roosters which you will hear no matter where you stay on the islands and they start crowing just before day break! Many fun memories on this holiday!

Pacific getaway

Great Bach. A well appointed bach, good sized rooms and living spaces meant we were not tripping over each other all time. The washing machine and BBQ got plenty of use. We stayed for a week and could have easily stayed longer. Close to Muri and a lot of great eating places including the night markets. A small shop a short walk down the road came in handy. We came to snorkel and access to the beach and some of the best diving on the island was superb. Maybe not the postcard beach as it has a rocky shore line but plenty of sand for the sunbathers. All up I’d rate the Rukuruku Haven as excellent value.

Rukuruku haven was perfect

Rukuruku haven was perfect. We have stayed in many local houses. This was by far the best. Across the road from the greatest snorkeling beach. Felt like we were at home....in the island surroundings. Bus stop across road. Lots of shade at the back of house. The third room has two singles beds, which was perfect rather than a double. Nice kitchen open plan lounge onto huge front deck. Loved being able to use free snorkel gears. The tribe of chickens were awesome. We will be back!!
