"We stayed in the apartment for 2 weeks and hired a car to get around. Will need transport to stay here. A short drive to airport, market and shops though. We enjoyed the privacy and the use of the small plunge pool after a hot day at the beach. Communication with the host was quick and easy. Highly recommend it and we would stay again. "

"We had an amazing time staying at Aroa Kainga Bungalows and can't recommend it enough. Jane and Craig were absolutely wonderful hosts—so friendly and incredibly helpful. We arrived in Rarotonga well before check-in time, and they kindly let us settle in early. They were just as accommodating when we checked out, letting us stay a bit longer while we waited for our taxi to the airport. The bungalow itself was great, very clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. The terrace was fantastic for...

Castaway Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely Ocean view room, upstairs with a balcony looking out over rooms, trees towards the ocean. Very clean room with excellent kitchen and bathroom facilities, air conditioning worked very well. Bed was slightly hard and lumpy. Great pool area, bar is very rustic but lovely staff. Food was ok, but we had better elsewhere. Quite a shallow rocky reef right outside resort, we chose to snorkel elsewhere. Staff very accommodating and friendly."
