The Edgewater Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Fun for large families especially those who love the ocean. Rarotonga Brewery is just across the road. Great place and crowd to watch the All Blacks beat France 34-32!"

IRO LUXURY RETREAT - Panoramic views with absolute privacy

8/10 Good

"We had a truly wonderful stay here over the past week. Perfect for our group of 11. Gorgeous home, great location for us, beautiful in and out. Niggles...no hot water when we got there and had to figure out hooking up a new gas bottle, some beds a bit hard, no blankets and then not enough when supplied, and movie room smells very damp...but honestly, these things were minor given what the property gives back and provides. I would most definitely stay here again, without hesitation. Sad to leave and just adored it. Thank you Kevin and Tina...and Melody."

Aroa Beachside Resort

10/10 Excellent

Magic Reef Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"We had the most wonderful stay at Magic Reef Bungalows and could not have asked for a better experience. The property is beautifully maintained, peaceful, and perfectly positioned to enjoy the stunning sunsets and relaxed atmosphere of Rarotonga. A special thank you to Lawrence and Simonne for their exceptional hospitality and attention to detail. From the moment we were met at the airport, we felt genuinely welcomed and cared for. Their local knowledge, friendliness, and commitment to ensuring guests have a memorable stay truly set Magic Reef apart. We leave with wonderful memories and would highly recommend Magic Reef to anyone visiting Rarotonga. We can't wait to return!"
