beachfront location, privacy, lots of amenities, proximity to restaurants, good snorkelling off beach, friendly neighbours

A hairdryer would have been very useful

The host was wonderful. Diana really made the stay exceptional. She went above and beyond, even sending her daughter to pick us up from the place the confused bus driver dropped us off: about 25 minutes walk from the place. I think the bus driver doesn't know Shoreline Escape, Rarotonga yet, because the closest sign is Moana Sunset, and we started to use that as a proxy for our getting off place. We're also right next door to the ice-cream shop, which can also be used as a proxy/landmark. Thankfully, Diana said she's going to put up a sign, and I think it'll help a lot! Diana was SO forgiving too! I was really clumsy and in attempting to switch off the light in the darkness of the night, I accidentally knocked her bedside lamp over and shattered the ceramic. I swept it up and threw it away and confessed the accident to Diana the very next day. But she kindly refused to charge us a single cent for the damages. She really, really wanted us to have a pleasant stay, have nothing to worry about, and just enjoy ourselves. My wife also learnt that bad things happen when she tries to microwave food in plastic bowls. I confessed that damage to Diana also before we left, and she didn't even consider it worth mentioning. My wife also tried to do a very difficult thing: to cook rice 🍚 without a rice cooker. In her first attempt, the rice 🍚 got burnt, and it actually damaged the pot with a layer of carbon on the bottom I tried to remove by soaking it in dishwasher liquid filled hot water, but alas, it was to no avail. I also confessed that to Diana before we left, but it was like water off a duck 🦆's back to her. I'm very impressed by the deep Christian values infused into her flesh and bones that she expresses unconsciously. And the guests she invites to live on the other side were also very wonderful.

My wife actually saw a used cotton bud on the bed when we got there. I took care of it but it did give her a less than perfect impression. My biggest regret was not talking to Diana more because I was under a lot of pressure to work out what to do in Rarotonga to make the most of it and to keep my wife entertained, but I probably should have just said hi to Diana and asked her to show us around and everything would have been far more exciting for my wife. She was somewhat frustrated about waiting for the bus to show up. The trip was good for developing my very limited leadership skills, so I didn't mind it one bit. But my wife expressed dissatisfaction with how much we got done in a day. I guess most couples want their honeymoon to be enjoyable, but I just see our honeymoon as a learning opportunity where lots of the things which can go wrong did go wrong, but we learnt how to keep going and our smile might have paused and frozen in a moment of concern, but kept going right from where it left off!

Location is great

Direkt am fast menschenleeren Strand mit privatem Garten, Besitzerin sehr freundlich und tut alles, damit man sich wohlfühlt. Essensmöglichkeiten fußläufig zu erreichen.

Das Meer ist wegen zu geringer Tiefe und Steinen nicht zum Schwimmen geeignet.

Exactly what we wanted,,it was great

Clean, tidy, with everything you need. Lots of extra touches which show special care. Beautiful view and beach out the front. Perfect.
