Lodges in Zuidelijke Cookeilanden

'View was amazing, just across the road. Snorkels and googles available. Convenience store and cafe approximately 40 meters from property (next door). No parking on property but directly outside. Beautiful stay '

'When we arrived we thought we’d come to the wrong hotel. It was like rolling up to the entrance of an old western motel. A gritty, broken up driveway brought us to the main entrance which had a large plain pond with nothing in it - just an unloved body of water which must have, at one stage, had a welcoming water feature, I assume. The stairs up to reception were plain concrete with grubby iron handrails. And the reception looked as if we’d arrived at the back entrance- barely any lighting,...

'Bedding, soaps and all kitchen cookware was supplied, wifi was included, overall a very good stay and very nice staff.'

'Lovely stay, there was a cat and cute dogs hanging around. Everything was clean and well decorated.'

'lovely house overlooking the ocean. clean, comfortable, great communication. lovely to fall asleep to the sound of the ocean.'

'Our view was perfect, the room was cleaned to perfection each day, the gardens were gorgeous, they had enough paddle boards & kayaks for everyone to use anytime, & the food at the restaurant was delicious. Oh, and they brought us cookies every day! We will definitely be back. Thank you to the staff for making our stay perfect!'

'Very tidy and clean. Loved the privacy and pool!!! Will definitely be back.'

'Aroa Kainga is one of the best places we ever stayed at. The bungalow and the veranda offer plenty of space and the kitchen is perfectly equiped - you'll find everything you need if you wish to cook your own meals. Location is particularly good if you are into snorkelling as the nearby beach is the best snorkelling place in Rarotonga. As we also wanted to explore other places on the Island, we rented Jane and Craig's car for a couple of days. Absolutely great to have that option! In general Jane...

'Take ear plugs! The Roosters never shut up! The facilities are basic, but clean and OK. Pool is OK as long as large groups don't take over. Nautilus staff we found dismissive, Muri staff more pleasant. BBQ area is nice but the hot plates are old and barely heat meaning without an over, self catering is challenging. Good proximity to beach and great use of snorkles / kayak / reef shoes etc.'

'Pleasant rural outlook, away from area of bars and resorts, but a short drive to Muri shops, beach and dining. It is a comfortable apartment. The driveway is a bit rough, and I was glad to have got a taxi there, and hired a car next day, as it would have been hard to find in the dark.'

'We just had an overnight stay here getting in late from Honolulu and leaving the next day at 4. The room was great. Right on the beach. Clean and very nice. The restaurant was great for lunch and we hung out by the pool.'
