"Unbelievable service — Florence and the staff made us feel like family, always greeting us by name (and even with hugs!). Our beachfront bungalow was spotless and comfortable with stunning views. Breakfast and dinner were excellent, and the location right on the beach is perfect. Highly recommend renting a car to explore, but it’s hard to leave this special place. Truly unforgettable!"

"The photos do not do this property justice, it was well maintained and very clean and spacious - perfect for our group! A short walk across the road and you find yourself in a gorgeous part of the lagoon, right outside The Rarotongan, where we hand fed fish and swam with turtles! We especially loved Timmy the resident pooch who was just gorgeous, he was a highlight of our trip and we miss him dearly! "
