Absolute Beachfront - A Slice of Paradise!

Absolute beachfront house for you to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. With uninterrupted ocean views this is one of the best locations to whale watch because the reef is close to the shore. From June to October the majestic Humpback whales enter Cook Island territory for mating and birthing of their calves. They often come in to play near the reef, so you can be lucky and watch a great show from the house deck or the shoreline.
