The hosts and the garden staff were lovely and the place had everything we needed in the bathroom and kitchen. We saw whales passing EVERY day which was just fantastic. The fresh coconuts were greatly appreciated, the dogs, cats and chicken delightful. The bed was so comfortable and it is a short bus ride from both Muri Beach and the main town.

The Mountain View apartment had everything I needed for just over 2 weeks. The location on the reef is lovely, and the gardens are fabulous. It’s not suitable for swimming but great for whale watching, and reef shoe rambling. I would book this place again.
It’s close to Avarua, and Muri, but a little too far to walk. I hired a pushbike to get around the island, although the island bus is great value.
The only drawback is the neighbour’s dogs that barked every night from dusk till 11 pm. I got used to it, but if you crave peace and quiet in the evening, check with Sue and Pasha, who are trying to fix the problem..

A piece of beach that was "ours" .So quiet.
Loved talking to Sue and Pasha ... Stories to tell from faraway lands...
Enjoyed cooking evening meals and eating on the deck to the sound of the sea...
Real Rarotonga... Nothing pretentious... A real retreat.

The host was exceptional going out of her way to make my trip special. Wven though it's self described as humble the apartment had everything you may need for a quiet Raro holiday. Fruit and blender were great.

A short taxi to/from the airport. Pasha was extremely helpful before and during our stay. very easy to contact and helped us many times with requests we had. the decking section out the back was a very nice place to sit and relax in the sun. The apartment had all cooking facilities needed. overall we really enjoyed our week on the island and would certainly recommend this accommodation to anyone travelling to Rarotonga.
You will definitely need either a scooter or car for your time on the island, mainly as the shops aren’t really walking distance. there is also a very good night market that is a short drive away. There is a bus that runs regularly however we preferred the flexibility of our own transport.

I ended up staying in their Tamarind cottage which was fully equipped and a 20min walk from town. Property had everything I could have needed for a comfortable stay.

ocean view
10.0
Sue and Pasha very hospitable and awesome hosts. They made sure I was settled in and checked in on me to make sure I was ok as I was a solo traveller. The view from my apartment was amazing being able to watch the waves coming in and listen to the sound of the water hitting the rocks. Very clean and tidy apartment.
Also a plus were Puppy and Sammy. Puppy the sweetest dog ever and Sammy, a beautiful rescue whose story touched my heart. And the beautiful cat that made its way fo my front door during my stay.
Close vicinity walking distance to Love Cafe and Super Brown market.
Clockwise bus stop right outside or across the street by Takitumu Primary School for the Anti-clckwise bus.
Finally excellent communication, from booking to arrival and assisting with taxi airport pick-up arrangements.
Nothing at all, exceptional stay. There may be ants and mosquitoes, but that's to be expected in a tropical country.

Sue and Pasha were great hosts, always happy to help. The view from the room of the ocean was amazing and loved being able to hear the sea at night.
It was a little tricky to get to places of interest around the island and there isn’t much to do in the immediate surrounding area. Would recommend booking rental transport in advance as there is an island wide shortage and then the location would not be a problem.

Facilities are older, but our room was comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. Sue was an extremely hospitable host, that went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed. Even loaning us her car to do a grocery run, and allowing us to keep our room as we had a late flight. There is also beach access from the property, which is great for tanning and relaxing. The close proximity to Muri is also a bonus! With buses frequently traveling through.
The facilities are older but this is a great low budget accommodation option.

Close to the sea for a walk and good R&B
Clean and well maintained, affordable
Directions to the location. Signage was difficult at first. Advise customers to use GPS if renting a car but would need data.

Pasha is nice. But this property is old and run down.
It was like a sauna in the unit although I paid for air con. It didn’t work. Hot air from outside circulating inside. It literally is in middle of nowhere! I don’t think anyone had stayed for awhile and it wasn’t kept up. Some lights not working. Septic tank. Cannot drink the water. Pay extra. Stay elsewhere!
7.1
Private, beautiful views, comfy bed. Lots of towels provided. Loads of info supplied.
Kitchen had no fan/ air con/ window so was hard to cook in due to the heat. DVD player didn’t work but we didn’t bother with it anyway. Kitchen cutlery / plates etc were dirty. We had to wash things before use.
