About this property

Are Meika (Banana House)

  • If you want the authentic experience of living on Rarotonga with peace and quiet and total relaxation then this is the place for you. Are Meika (Banana House) has been extended and renovated and is situated in a quiet, sealed road ending in a cul-de-sac in the area of Aremango, Ngatangiia.

    Capturing the cool, prevailing south-east trade wind the house is five minutes walk from the main road where round-the-island buses stop and a further five minutes to the nearest beach at Muri. Are Meika is set on a half-acre among banana trees. It has polished concrete floors and is of concrete brick construction (cool in the hot weather) and has extensive verandahs facing north and west to protect against the afternoon sun. It also has high ceilings which allow maximum air circulation
