clean close to everything

the beach was ok but too much sharp rocks - it was ok

Our go to stay in raro!! clean and modern home with everything you will need for your stay! The home is right on the beach which is a bonus and it’s within walking distance of our fave new restaurant Aroa shipwreck and there is also Texs shop across the road for small top up groceries…our favourite thing to do we would have a bbq some evenings with a cold one and enjoy that gorgeous relaxing view…Rex and Lorraine have always been great to deal with and accommodating when our flight times changed! 11/10 would recommend

The location is unbeatable, the house is lovely and Rex and Lorraine are the perfect hosts.

I missed having an oven for cooking but we made good use of the bbq instead. Also, just good to know, the stairs to the loft sleeping area were a bit too steep for my 80-year old father so we ended up switching sleeping areas.

Perfect location, right on the beach with beautiful sunsets, close to other beaches, bars, restaurants. Very private, great place to stay with family or friends, the house has everything you need.

Nothing that we didn't like

Very accommodating and helpful hosts

Renting a house is a great way to go on Rarotonga as it gives you more space/freedom than a hotel room. We enjoyed our stay in the Betela Beach House. Given it’s location, I suggest you rent wheels (car, scooter). We particularly liked: Beachfront location - walk 20m across your private lawn and you’re on the beach. Some coral/rocks immediately in front of house (only an issue at low tide) but a nice sandy beach 100m to left. You can snorkel/swim right across to the reef. Gorgeous sunsets - watch from the porch or under a palm tree on the beach. Quiet but central - away from the busy tourist area of Muri yet only 10-15 mins (slow) drive into town (or catch the bus right outside). Close to Beluga Cafe (best on the island) & near to various restaurants/bars. Everything you need is provided - umbrellas (yes, it does rain), a machete (for getting a drink from fallen coconuts), washing machine & clothes line/pegs, well-equipped kitchen, etc. Comfortable beds.

Cleanliness could be improved. If you’re sensitive to noise when sleeping, bring earplugs - roosters run Rarotonga (they’re everywhere) & keep appalling time (some think it’s dawn at midnight). This applies to the whole island not just this property.

Location directly on the beach

A huge thanks to Lorraine and Rex for a special holiday home right on the beach and centrally located within walking distance to facilities. We loved the view from the outside area, the beautiful sunsets, the neighbours friendly dog Yuppy who became our surrogate pet. Everything was provided inside including sun lotions, tea coffee, bottled water milk etc. Handy to keep up with washing too!!! A superb relaxing holiday. We will reccomend this beach house to everyone. We came home very relaxed and chilled. 😍😍🌼🌼

There wasn't a thing to complain about.
