Home and garden
Six NZers, all repeat visitors to Rarotonga booked this house for a week. It has its own private beach house (w kayaks and chairs and shower), it has a gorgeous garden and views of the peaks and taro fields. It is back off the road so quiet and private. It’s very clean and well provisioned and the 24/7 shop is close by. We received instant help when a door slammed shut in wind gust, from lovely management staff and really enjoyed our stay. Would recommend.

Great family getaway
A perfect property for everyone to have the own space with the communal area for hanging out located in the middle of the house. We loved the small touch of fresh bread, cheese, juice, milk and eggs after arriving on the late flight into Raro. Thanks Connie and family.

A Hidden Gem
A lovely stay in a stunning location … excellent amenities and perfect for a family of teenagers - everyone got their own space. Located super close to the beach and walking distance to some excellent snorkeling opportunities. The indoor/outdoor living at this property was perfect for us and we enjoyed the beautiful tropical garden. The home was perfectly appointed and there was nothing we needed. Thank you for a memorable and relaxing stay.

our family love the well appointed home with lovely sheltered garden. Ideal for my 3 year old grand daughter to play in safely and just a short walk across the road to the beach where there is a great beach hut with kayaks and a little kitchen....outdoor tables and chairs.

Fabulous property with spectacular gardens
Wow! What a beautiful property. The gardens are absolutely stunning and the location is perfect. The beach hut is a wonderful addition giving this property the best of both worlds. This property would suit families and adults alike. Thank you Connie for allowing our family group to stay in your lovely home. We felt that Connie was available if we needed anything but we appreciated that she allowed us our privacy and space. Also, we absolutely love your dog who we nicknamed “Pete” while we were there. He was a loved extra member of the family We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again Thank you!! Joel and Daya

Great property
We had a wonderful time at Connies place, the house is perfect for a family of 7 adults. Great living areas and bedrooms, and the covered bbq area meant we could still cook and eat outside when it rained. We loved the beach house, its a fantastic spot right on the beach. Great sitting on the deck having a late afternoon wine while enjoying the view of the lagoon.

A huge thank you to Connie
We arrived before check-in time but while Connie and her people were still preparing the property we were able to drop our bags. A huge welcome from her family and staff gave is an indication as to the graciousness of the Cook Island people and we weren't dissapointed. We will be back to Raraotonga in tne next few months and we will bo contacting Connie to arrange accommodation. She is brilliant and well commended.

Great location great house great host
Had 2 v relaxing weeks in this comfortable spotlessly clean house with beautiful gardens and views of the mountains. It is very well equipped and thankfully has air con in the bedrooms ! The beach is a hop and a skip away and the Beach House was where i spent most of my time enjoying the sea breezes and the view of the stunning lagoon. Connie was away much of the time I was there but other members of her family were at hand and happy to help and advise whilst respecting privacy. I very much hope to return before too long .

Best house I've stayed in on the island. Perfect for two families, screens on the windows so no bugs, and everything we needed. The beach hut was an added bonus, and we felt like we had our own private beach. Communication was a bit slow, but Connie was on holiday so not her fault. We'll definitely be back!

Everything you need
We loved our stay here and felt at home straight away. The house had plenty of space for our family of six and the teens even had their own bedrooms. The kitchen and BBQ is really well set up for self-catering. It has a lovely garden and is in a great location right across the road from the beach where the turtle tours leave (I highly recommend booking this in advance with Snorkel Cook Islands) and it's just down the road from Wigmore's Store, which sells fresh local fruit and vege, chutneys, coconut milk and yummy puddings, as well as everything else you might need. The weather was very windy in July when we visited so we didn't spend a lot of time at the beach hut, though this is a great feature. Instead we explored the island and the house was always a relaxing home base to return to, sit on the couch in the sheltered courtyard and have a nice glass of Cook Islands lager to finish off the day. Thank you Connie!
