Villa holiday rentals in Cook Islands

This was a very nice place to stay, it’s near the beaches it’s quite and peaceful. We really enjoyed it. And the whole house has all the kitchen cutlery we could make any food. Enough space to keep stuff cold would recommend this place anytime. The beds are so comfortable we had a good rest at nights.

A beautiful home in paradise! Having this stunning accomodation to base ourselves as we explored and enjoyed the island was perfect. The house was air conditioned luxury, modern and beautifully decorated - we had everything we needed and more. Starlink wifi kept us well connected, the swimming pool was perfect and the bbq on the deck gave us a nice option for dining at home. Evie was an absolute star when we were organizing our visit. She offered early check in and late check out options to work in with our flights, and shared detailed information about the accomodation so we felt well prepared before we got there. We feel so lucky to have had this time at Te Aro Villa 2. To Evie and family - Meitaki Mata! We loved calling your place our home for 9 days 🌺

The Villa was large, spacious, clean, and private. Overall, we were pleased that we booked it! Everything worked perfectly and the deck area was the highlight for us. We spent as much time as we could outdoors. Yes, there are roosters outside but they really weren’t that bad. Bring earplugs if you are sensitive to ‘island’ noise. The rooms were comfy with lots of towels and bedding supplied. There is a washer but no dryer (line dry). The only suggestion I have already made was to have manuals or instructions about how to use the stove (turn the switch on at the wall first), and the washing machine. We are American so we are not familiar with the symbols on the microwave or washing machine detergent compartment. Haha. We kept bothering them with questions and photos but they were very reaponsive. We would stay there again and highly recommend their Villa to anyone who is looking for a quiet getaway that is still close to many amenities and the beach.

Absolutely loved our stay! The place was spotless, well-equipped with everything from towels to linen, and had a great space to unwind and watch TV (WiFi was great!). The location was unbeatable—walk straight from the deck to the beach for kayaking or spotting incredible fish in the water just out in front of the property. You're a short stroll from the local night markets for dinners (4 nights a week!) or some fantastic restaurants. Shona and Paul were the perfect hosts—friendly and welcoming, but gave us plenty of space, checking in just enough to offer help or tips. A newly added spa (not listed when we booked) was a huge bonus—we spent hours soaking after kayaking or when the weather turned. Kayaks are provided too! Bonus tip: chat to Paul about his legendary hot sauce… we may have purchased a few bottles :) If we’re back in Raro, we’ll definitely stay here again!

After booking accommodation ,Dorisse made contact with me with a welcoming message and offered to give any recommendations / advice as it was our first time visiting the island. Dorisse greeted us at the airport to show us to our accommodation even though we had a hire car. We arrived very early in the morning and Dorisse very kindly had our accommodation ready to check in earlier. Dorisse was very responsive to all communications. Dorisse was lovely and friendly and very accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed having our own space on her property. We felt very much at home and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this property to anybody

Absolutely loved our stay at Muri Beach Resort. Great location, the rooms were spacious and clean and the staff were always friendly and helpful. We especially loved the breakfast at Nautilus in the morning. We would definitely stay here again.

Another wonderful stay at Sands Villas, we’ve always come back to these homes, location is amazing, houses are always perfect for our family. We made great use of the snorkel and kayak gear, such a bonus to be able to go straight out from the houses and always plentiful fish and sights to see. Our hosts were also very helpful to increase our accommodation as more and more whānau wanted to join us, thank you for also being so flexible with our group of 9.

We have just returned from an 11 day stay at the Raro beach bach and we absolutely loved it! We travelled as a family group of 7 (4 adults, 1 teen and two kids 6 & 4) We stayed in the main house and 1 studio. Great location. So much better in person! We found the property provided all that we needed and was well stocked. Bbq worked well, the property has mobile fans throughout the rooms. It was clean and tidy and well presented. Kitchen is well stocked and everything worked well. The tv was a bonus to keep the kids busy while we planned our next activities and we could connect to Netflix, YouTube etc. The windows are covered by mosquito nets which was a relief. The out door seating area and table was a popular spot for us and we spent many late nights of laughter playing cards and yarning away while the kids slept. Beds were comfortable and rooms clean. Bathroom also clean. The outside area was clean and so beautiful, the views - amazing!!! We loved the beach! Yes rocky in spots but

We had the most amazing stay at Casa Del Sol. From the wonderful warm welcome from Joy and Arjay, who helped us in with luggage and showed us around the amazing villa's. The wonderful hosts and staff made our stay so amazing. The villa's are so private, calm and peaceful - it is a little slice of paradise on a magic island. The villa's are so well equipped, clean, and nestled in magic gardens. Nothing was a bother from the hosts - they gave us amazing notes about everything you could think of - including where to buy birthday cakes, where to dine and activities on the Island. We had an incredible stay at Casa Del Sol and hope that one day we will get to return. Thank you all for making our family holiday so special.

Greg's house is a great base to explore Rarotonga. It's comfortable, stylish and is right on the oceanfront. The location is not somewhere you can swim safely, although rockpools are interesting at low tide. The house has a lovely lap pool which is perfect for hot days and morning exercise. The roar of the waves is a constant backdrop, reminding you that you're in South Pacific paradise. The house is best suited to 2 couples with two large bedrooms, I feel, although our youngest son (18) was quite happy out in thel studio, but it is basic. We travelled with our two sons, and the flexibility that the house offered, rather than booking 2 rooms in a resort, was fantastic. Sitting on the deck at sunset, G & T in hand, was a daily highlight, such a privilege. The house is super quiet, in terms of any noise from neighbours, so very private and peaceful. The flat grassed garden to the side was great for our soccer-mad boys to kick a ball around for exercise. You absolutely need a car.

This private casita in the Cook Islands was everything I hoped for and more. Tucked away in a peaceful spot with beautiful ocean views, it felt like a little slice of paradise. Waking up and seeing the sea in the distance made every morning feel special. The casita was spotless, everything looked new, well-equipped, and incredibly comfortable—but the highlight was definitely the mattress. It was amazing. Honestly one of the best sleeps I’ve ever had—so soft, supportive, and perfect after a day of exploring the island. A huge thank you to Ira, the host, who was so kind and helpful throughout my stay. From thoughtful local tips to making sure I had everything I needed, Ira really went above and beyond. If you’re looking for a peaceful, private, and truly relaxing stay in the Cook Islands, this is the place. I can’t wait to come back!

Omg! This place was absolute magic! I 🥰 I knew when I wanted to book somewhere for my 30th I wanted something exactly like this villa. It exceeded my expectations and more. Waking up to the most beautiful views everyday, to having easy access to the beach, kayaks, swim equipment etc. Having the most beautiful, friendly cleaners that greeted us everyday with a smile and always checking into see if we needed anything. Kiana pureau was the one who checked us in and she was just a beautiful soul, very helpful & gave us some experiences to try which we did & loved! Theirs nothing I can complain about, everything from check in to check out was a breeze! The villa made our whole holiday even more special & we will definitely be back again. 1000/1000 recommend this place!❤️

We absolutely loved John and Ann’s home. It was beautiful. The location couldn’t have been more perfect. It was right on the beach, near grocery stores, restaurants and hikes. We had gorgeous weather which was the icing on the cake. Chantal greeted us as John’s concierge. Her friendly island flair made us feel right at home. We got in late at night and there were snacks and drinks waiting for us in the fridge. She gave us a run down on places to eat and activities to consider. The lagoon was excellent for paddle boarding and snorkeling. We had an amazing time. Thank you!!

We loved Te-Manava so much, we will be coming back. The staff were excellent, was like a hotel. Vitiama was also so lovely and nothing was too much trouble. From booking tours, organising a taxi or dinner reservation, she was onto it immediately. Highly recommend this property.

We had an amazing time here as a family. We can't wait to come back.

Amazing villa with a private pool, extremely clean and high end accomodation. Ira is a very supportive and professional person, she was always there to support and assist if needed. Loved the greenery and atmosphere in the house. Tranquility and love around. Thank you for our amazing stay Ira!

My husband and I stayed at Malina’s air BnB on our Honeymoon and could not have asked for a better place to stay! We booked our stay here very last minute due to our original accommodation falling through, Malina was so accommodating to our situation and totally put my mind at ease. Our whole stay at the air BnB was exactly what we were after, it was quiet, private and had everything we could possibly need (the beautiful pool was definitely a highlight!). We are forever grateful to Malina for making our honeymoon as perfect as we could have hoped. We will definitely be back and could not recommend this stay more to other people considering it!!

Absolutely lovely. The two totally private, walled in garden areas were a highlight. The room was well equipped and very comfortable. Rick, the owner, was delightful. Definitely hope to come back soon.

Our host was super communicative and kind! Villa was beautiful and had everything we needed. Had an issue with Aircon at first but Di, allowed us to switch villas and had no problems there after! Lovely stay here.

Great home, close to airport. We hired a scooter, which was great. I wouldn't walk down the long driveway at night, just because of the dogs, they can get territorial. However, that being said, if you are on a bike, scooter, or car, you will be fine. It is a seldom occurrence in our experience. The host was amazing, she really went above and beyond. The pool is inviting, the home is spotless. Aircon in bedrooms is great. The fully fenced home is very private. This home, and the host Anita deserve 5 stars, we recommend this place to other guests.

What an amazing house! The view was incredible and the location fantastic for accessing Muri Lagoon and local resorts and restaurants. Thanks for a wonderful stay in the beautiful Cook Islands.

Wow, what a gorgeous house! First time in Rarotonga, we were gonna stay in a hotel but found this adorable Airbnb perfect for us – me, the hubby, the little one, and my MIL. It was even better than the pics! So much privacy, the pool was awesome (my son lived on those floaties!), rooms were huge and spotless. Loved the furniture, those long bedroom tables were great. Beds were comfy. The outdoor space was pure heaven. Perfect location. Felicia was the best host ever, super clear instructions, communication was top-notch. She's created such a beautiful place! We're totally coming back. Highly recommend it! 👌

We enjoyed our stay here. Made use of the bikes and kayaks. Lots of towels provided and we spent most of our time in the pool or the lagoon. Very relaxing and although local shops, market and bakery were walkable we found having rental car really worthwhile. Scott was around every morning and Rose responded quickly to any inquiry. Thanks team!

Beautiful, private, dramatic views, fresh breeze. Really clean, had everything we needed. We had windows and curtains open never needed air con. Great up on the hill, what a view! Beautiful pool! We did across the island hike and swam at waterfall at the end- worth it! When we returned our scooter … no problem walking back . Had wonderful snorkels! Went kite boarding. Beautiful stay after a week on Atiu, 2 weeks on Aitutaki (kiting/snorkeling!!:), and our first week on the beach at Muri. Our last week up on the hill in the beautiful private penthouse;) 🫶🏽 Communication was great! So pleasant and helpful. Very happy💗
