Hotels in Arorangi, Rarotonga

Nev & Deb made us feel really welcome. The huge deck made it easy to enjoy our holiday even with the range of weather we experienced. Loved the opportunity to catch up on some old favourites on TV at night - especially the IT Crowd. The bed was really comfortable and having breakfast & some grocery essentials in the fridge was a god send after an overnight flight.

Location was within easy walking distance of restaurants and the beach and a small shop. Having a car would be recommended also.

Location was amazing Had a restaurant and bar

We liked everything, near is a shop plus an ice cream store and there is also an access to sea across the road straight to the beach, where is awesome sunset too! Paul is lovely helped us with recommendations and tips to see around.

It’s beautiful there, off the main road so nice and quiet. The house is huge and it was nice and cool there too. Host is so friendly if you have a family to accommodate I’d suggest going there.

Great communication, and flexible with change of booking and early arrival, great facilities and location. Thank you so much

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.
