House holiday rentals in Rarotonga

We had a great time staying in this house. It really was more than the pictures. It was clean, and well set up for us all. Thanks Joyce and Bill for the stay!

We had the most amazing time at Starboard which was pure paradise. From the moment we arrived, the stunning ocean views took our breath away, and the villa itself was better than the photos. The infinity pool was our daily retreat, we couldn't get enough of it. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to cook meals, and the complimentary coffee, fruit, and fresh bread were great touches. Waking up to the sunrise over the ocean each morning was a highlight. While the beach in front of the villa is more for sunbaking than swimming, the pool more than made up for it. Muri Beach is also just a short drive away and perfect for swimming. Having the car included was amazing. It made exploring the island, going to dinners, and doing day tours really easy. Our host Anita went above and beyond to assist us during our stay (including meeting us at the airport on the final day to collect the car) - the epitome of a super host. Don’t hesitate - book now!

I felt I could message the host anytime before and while we were there and she responded quickly. Helpful. Great ammenities.

Great place to stay, great to have a pool on those scorcher days, little one absolutely loved it. Beware if you are a bit of a late sleeper or enjoy your sleep, chickens on the island dont really make that possible, otherwise was a great location for us, very clean and neat. My only issue was with a little one the wasps were a bit of a nuisance, they are all over the island but we seemed to get quite a few roaming into the house, after 3 they dissapeared so it was great to enjoy the outside space at that point. I would recommend this place to any family wanting to unwind and enjoy some Raro outdoors, undercover area was perfect for those rainy afternoons. Thanks again Demond and Tracy, you guys made this experience easy and seemless foe our first trip to Raro, thanks for the use of the car this was an absolute lifesaver for us. Truly great hosts.

We as a couple and two friends had a superb stay at Adam and Sarah's beautiful Kokocabana Beach house, it was situated at Muri Lagoon with direct access to the lagoon. It was better than we had thought coming from Australia, it is always a guess as to where you actually book, but not this place, it was everything and more. We loved our stay and was easy to get around. We hired a car which was well worth doing. Unfortunately we didnt get to meet Adam and Sarah as we were always out and about. But communication was always answered when we had a question. The house is divine and the position is in paradise! We will definately be back. This was just the best and thank you Adam and Sarah for sharing your beautiful home, a memory we will have forever. Hilary, Wayne, Spike and Tania

Dear Leilani and Vai, Thank you both so much for a truly wonderful stay at your beautiful home in Rarotonga. Having visited the island more than 20 times over the years, we can honestly say your property has been one of our absolute favourites. The home is incredibly spacious, immaculately clean and tidy, and perfectly set up for a relaxing stay. We especially loved the pool area – the covered spaces on both sides of the living area made it easy to enjoy the outdoors at any time of day, rain or shine. Vai, thank you for the outstanding job keeping everything in such pristine condition – it really made a difference and did not go unnoticed. For future guests, we’d highly recommend Vianna’s for a casual bar experience, Nautilus for finer dining and delicious small plates, and the Bond Store for the best value alcohol outside of duty free. If the weather plays along, a jet ski tour with TVK watersports is also an exciting way to experience the island from a different perspective.

We absolutely loved Diane's place. It was perfect for our group of six. It felt homely, restful and everything we needed. The view was amazing and so wonderful having the pool and beach right there. We didn't want to leave. A real treasure. We also appreciated the availability of kayaks, snorkel gear, aqua shoes and beach towels. A huge thanks to Diane and her team.

Lovely older villa in a picturesque location right on Muri lagoon. The onsite managers, Jo and Mike were lovely and Mike even helped us with a last minute tyre change on our rental van when we were on our way to the airport. With the recent dengue outbreak and a baby in our party we were mindful of mosquitoes. We appreciated the nets over the beds and access to coils etc as we did see quite a few mossies as there are quite a few gaps where they can access the house. The villa is lovely and roomy with multiple inside and outside areas to sit and relax. It is great having the pool on the non ocean side protected from the SE wind.

We decided to go with an Airbnb instead of a resort being a family. Was so pleased we did. The villa is so spacious and fitted our family perfectly. Couple minutes walk to the beautiful beach. Was perfect for snorkeling or just chilling. Rachael and Tom were great hosts. If we had any issues (which we didn't) we could call anytime. Miss 3 1/2 absolutely loved the pool.

We had an incredible stay at Diane’s place. What a wonderful location. A spectacular place to stay on the island! The house was very clean, offered all necessities + more! Diane was super friendly and accomodating. The location is beautiful, situated back from the main road in a cute jungle like environment with the mountains in the background. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the beautiful Cook Islands.

Glenn & Bev were absolutely fantastic. Great communication & super accommodating from the start. Glenn allowed us to check in a little earlier which was immensely helpful as we had my parents with us who had arrived earlier than expected when we needed to check out after our first nights accommodation. This was an amazing place to stay with spectacular views from the undercover outdoor al fresco dining table which is large. We enjoyed many occasions just sitting, talking & eating together there with those lovely ocean views. The home is so spacious but not cluttered. The rooms are large & the beds are comfortable. There were some reviews mentioning bugs, but we only had the odd millipede. It is in the bush so not reasonable to expect otherwise. We didn’t find it a problem at all. Bev - the caretaker (who is so lovely) was always around when we needed her, but never invaded our privacy & was always quick to help when we needed it. We were grateful to her for that. We felt at home.

We stayed here as a family of six (two adults and four kids under five) for two months and had a great experience. The house is close to everything on Muri Beach—cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, and the night market are all within walking distance. Cathy was a fantastic host. She responded quickly if anything came up and made us feel very welcome. We really appreciated the fresh fruit she brought us regularly, and the lemon drizzle on Mother’s Day was a lovely surprise. The house worked really well for a longer stay. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a well-equipped kitchen with everything we needed to cook properly. We a baby cot, a high chair, and plenty of space for everyone and lots to do on the beach. The outdoor areas were great too, with room to eat outside and a barbecue we used often. One of the highlights was using the kayaks to paddle out in the lagoon—we saw turtles and eagle rays several times, which was incredible. We’d definitely stay here again and would recommend

We had the best stay at James’ place. He and his family made us feel welcome and were especially good with our 1 year old son who loved playing with the dogs, cats and chickens. Would recommend staying here to anyone. We thought Aroa was the best part of the island. Great snorkelling at the beach a minutes walk away too. 5 stars from us!

Fantastic property for groups or families. The property was exactly as described and in such a lovely location. The host and property manager were both fantastic to communicate with and sorted any minor issues we had very promptly. The cafe next door is open Wed - Sun and is generally pretty quiet so does not disturb the peacefulness. The beach in front of the property was less populated than more central Muri which made it feel very private. The kids had a blast crab hunting each morning and swimming on our door stop. The property is well equipped and had a small selection of beach toys and reef shoes/flippers outside. Easy walking distance to central Muri and the restuarants and activity providers there as well as a range of eating options. The bus stops just down the road as well. We would 100% stay again and would recommend to anyone!

Great location,Fabulous views, right on the beach.& good snorkeling.The house had everything we needed for a wonderful holiday. Elizabeth was a great host

Had an amazing week long stay for my business trip to Raro. From start to finish hosts were so helpful. I will definitely be back for another stay. The house provided me with everything I needed and gave me a nice quiet place to come home to every day to unwind and relax. A short drive to many local eateries and convenience shops. The beautiful back drop of the mountain in the back provides a lovely view for the warm nights outside. Thank you for a perfect stay! Meitaki 🫶🏼

Highly recommended!!! The home is beautiful with everything as listed. Private location waking up everyday to a beautiful view of the mountainside, with beach access just across the road. This place was perfect for our young family of four with 2 kids under five as there is a big yard with chickens where kids can run around. We enjoyed our stay here, Matanoanoa is a fantastic host who would check in on us making sure we had what we needed, from time to time. Would love to come back ❤️

Marie's accommodation is absolutely fantastic, clean, neat, and tidy inside and out. If ever we return to Rarotonga this will be the first place we will look up. The location was central to everything we needed for an event filled holiday.

Everything we needed. Lovely and quiet. Well appointed with all kitchen needs and easy indoor outdoor living. Large bedrooms with plenty of wardrobe space. Wigmores shop a short walk away. Great hand pulled pizzas down the road. Took a walk to the waterfall from the house, just over 30mins away.

Absolutely amazing place, would highly recommend this accommodation. Malina was so accommodating to our needs allowing us to drop off our luggage while we went out for lunch and even allowing a late check out due to an afternoon international flight home. Her home was clean and modern very spacious and private especially for my noisy large family. Definitely rebooking again soon. Thank you Malina

Altho our trip was cut short due to an incident, this is a beautiful home, tucked up inland away from the main road. Our hosts were absolutely lovely, very friendly, helpful and there whenever we needed them. They have 2 pups that welcomed you when you arrive, gorgeous pups. Thank you for having us. All the Jae & Family xo

Tuaine was incredibly friendly and helpful. Home had everything needed for our family vacation and the location was amazing and as described. Happy to recommend this villa - beautiful setting with just a few steps from the deck to lagoon paradise! Wonderful holiday.

Great value and beautiful location. Very private beach, great swimming. Nicely located to Muri area and others, without being right in it. Much more private. Will stay again. Great for a family beach holiday!

The beach was amazing! Great to have easy access to snorkels and kyacks as well. Helpful with supermarket just down the road. Awesome spot to hang out with family
