Cottages in Arutanga

Herzog Family United States of America

We loved that their were only two units that shared a pool. The Beach access was amazing, as was the snorkeling right off the beach. An expanded continental breakfast was hand-delivered, and the cereals, bread, pastries, fruit, meat, and cheese were perfect for snacks, too. The owners lend guests a scooter, which helps for quick trips to town. They also provide airport transportation and can set up excursions. It really is a seamless one-stop shop!

The serenity that this property offered was surreal. The bungalow was well-equipped with ample amount of kitchen cutleries, china, and bathroom towels. Every detail for this stay to be exceptionally wonderful was thought of- from having a bin in the toilet to having a dining table inside and outside to loungers in the balcony to my favourite spot where hammocks are installed and many more that you least anticipate of. We could only wish to have the same property and facilities when we moved to Rarotonga. We missed our Aitutaki bungalow so much. Vicky was a wonderful host, making our stay so homey. Trina was excellently responsive during our pre-arrival stage. All in all, this place makes us want to go back to Aitutaki despite its wild west vibe. This is so highly recommended.

Idyllic beachfront location with only 8 large detached chalets. Well equipped. Lovely breakfast provided by the pool. Very relaxed ambiance with so few guests - we were often the only people on the beach. Lagoon is shallow but OK for swimming with plentiful fish. Provision of bicycles, e-scooters and 2 electric golf carts make it easy to get around this small island.

The bungalows are perched right on the lagoon just like the picture

Tavake is great. Hosts are young, energetic, and wonderfully helpful. They found us what we needed through local connections when we had no idea and forgot to book transport. Pawpaw growing at the door, beautiful sunset from the back porch, great spot close to all the facilities you need, and not far from the flash beach up the road. Their cafe next door was open 7am - 9pm and the food and drinks were great and economical, and there were always locals and visitors to meet there for a coffee and a story.

The beauty of the location, quiet, even whales breaching in the distance. Couldn't be beat.

Our stay at Tai Marino was amazing, absolutely perfect. Vaea and Kii are perfect hosts, there when you needed them and not when you didn't. Vaea helped organise bookings, picked us up from the airport and Kii took us out on a relaxing and utterly enjoyable lagoon cruise. lunch provided by Vaea. Both generously shared their love and knowledge of their home and made us feel very welcome. We could not find one fault even if we tried.
