I just loved the place , felt like home away from home. I'm an introvert so honestly away from everything. The power station didn't even bother us . We are home bodies and that was the perfect place to be . 100% garanteeed!

Kia Orana Sharnytas Studio! Meitaki maata Sharnyta for the fabulous stay and for being such an amazing Host. From picking me up at Club Raro Resort and dropping me off and offering to stop at the shops to pick up a few essentials. It just made my stay extra special at Sharnytas Studio! It was nice, clean and cosy and close to everything. I enjoyed chillaxing on the deck and outdoor area. I will definitely stay here again and I can't wait to come back to Rarotonga!

We loved our stay at JJ'sRetreat! Jason & Jaime are wonderful hosts. They were so friendly and easy going and shared a lot of knowledge about the island. They have a wonderful slice of paradise in Rarotonga at JJ's Retreat. The self-contained villa had everything we needed for our 10 day stay. It was very clean and tidy, the kitchen was well equipped with cooking equipment and basic cooking ingredients such as oil, salt and pepper, and a great BBQ so we could cook our own meals. Tea/coffee/milk for the first day was provided, as was basic toiletries, but we brought most of what we needed with us from NZ or bought from the local supermarket/take away, Wigmore's, which is a short easy 10 min cycle down the road. Water in the villa is filtered for drinking. The gardens around the property are beautiful and well kept, along with the swimming pool which we enjoyed everyday! We were so lucky to be the only couple there so we had the whole place to ourselves. The property is set back from the main ring road (5 min walk) so it is very quiet and peaceful. The Raro bus will pick you up/drop you off at the main road and so it is very easy to get around without a car. JJ's is located close by to the best snorkelling on the island - Fruits of Raro to the east and Aroa to the west. The bikes provided allowed us to cycle to Aroa beach to enjoy snorkelling at our own pace. We also cycled to Wigmore's Waterfall for a swim and picnic. After adventuring every day it was wonderful to come back to our villa and enjoy our evening on the deck. The use of the washing machine was great too, and there was a phone to call local numbers to make reservations. The bed was so comfortable and the villa was kept cool by its design and the wonderful big fan above our bed! They were happy to arrange a late check out for our late flight. Jason & Jaime have thought of all the little details that make a holiday extra special.

This was very unexpected but it was one of our most favourite stays during our travels. Mireka is the most wonderful host/person you can meet. We loved to stay with her and share her house. Thanks for all the help and all the conversations, we were really happy to meet you, Mireka and Poroa! The house is very big and clean. We were allowed to use the kitchen and had our own bathroom. Mireka even emptied some cupboards and one side of the fridge in the kitchen so we could put our food there. The beach is only some minutes away by foot and it is paradise because there are almost no people at the beach.

We love getting away from the big resorts and spending time local. This was the perfect opportunity to do just that. Enjoy the quiet, sit and watch the mountains while the goats and chickens do their thing. Not far from Muri beach and facilities. No, it’s not right on the beach, but you’re on an island so the beach isn’t far away! Breakfast was lovely and we enjoyed chatting with Odette and the other guests. Thanks Jo and Odette!
