Rarotonga Wreck of the Matai Hotels

"Both meals dinner and breakfast excellently prepared and more than generous quantity of food. Staff always friendly helped with all queries. Room large, clean and AC worked perfectly to keep temperatures constant and comfortable "

"The apartment was lovely with amazing views of the ocean. It was very spacious and had all the facilities that we needed. Whilst eating out in the area was limited if you don’t have a car. There was one place however called B&Js. Fantastic food over looking the ocean. The service was outstanding. Highly recommend "

"All staff was courteous and helpful except for the man that supposedly checked us in on the morning of our arrival. the breakfast was disappointing since all the eggs and meat and protein was at a cost and the breads and cereals were of course included.yes the rooms were clean and the staff was helpful but compared to our stay at Rarotonga resort and lagoonarium, I was disappointed. I should have researched more thoroughly before I booked the stay."

"Had the best time at the Edgewater Resort, room was totally spotless, the staff were very friendly always welcoming and the food was delicious, were definitely will stay here again 10/10 cant fault anything. "

"For five nights I enjoyed my well appointed suite, which had facilities for laundry, cooking, outdoor bbq, and patio. The outdoor patio had covered areas which were great during the occasional rains. There was an inside shower and an outdoor soaking tub. Many sliding doors with screens allowed cross ventilation, and it all could be closed at night for cooling with the mini split. The outdoor pool area also had two smaller hot tubs. Though there was a breakfast area in the common area, breakfast was by prearrangement, and I did not take advantage of that. Spa services were available, and a bicycle was also available for hire. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Though the villas are not on the main island tourist bus route, it is about a 1km walk to one of the main intersections. The Saturday market is about a 24 minute walk. To trader jacks, 27 minutes. I would definitely stay here again. "

"Well equipped kitchen and bathroom "

"It was perfect!! Had everything needed in the kitchen! I enjoyed my stay throughly!! It was wonderful!"

"Very nice place to stay if you are after basic but good honest accommodation (not the place if you are after aircon and a big multi channel flat screen TV) The hosts Rudy and Kanoe were very friendly & helpful. Located right on the beach (but as others have said swimming not possible) and a very well stocked store just over the road. You do need transport to have freedom to get around - but the hire scooters from Muri are cheap, safe & really fun. Highly recommended (with the above conditions). Ian C"

"The house was so comfortable and has a lovely peaceful vibe. No neighbours, view of the beach, huge deck where we spent all of our time, Comfy sofas inside with really nice decor - furniture and paintings etc. Aesthetics were great. Really comfortable beds and nice linen. We didn't need 5 star - it's a house not a flash resort but it had everything that we were looking for. The important things. Comfort, peace, tranquillity, views, beach and easy on the eye. Great cafe just down the road to the left 1 min drive - amazing food and coffee. 5 min drive to the right is the fish and chip van which had the best fish I have ever tasted and great salad too. This was the best holiday accommodation I have experienced and as soon as I can I will be back. This is the first review I have ever written!"
