Description from owner
Description
Modern, open-plan 2 or 3-bedroom house with vaulted ceilings and huge outdoor decks in Arorangi, Rarotonga's sheltered west coast famed for its sunsets. Recent extension offers optional third bedroom with en suite, super king bed (can be twin) for additional $75 - bring the grandparents! Private sparkling outdoor pool within sunny, fully enclosed decked area flowing from shady front verandah. The house is very clean, bright and comfortable. The large convenient kitchen is very well equipped, loads of space, gas cooker, large frig/freezer, microwave, UV in-ink water filter, plenty of tableware and cookware, open to the dining and living area furnished in tropical cane - dining table easily seats six, insect screens on all windows, flat screen TV, DVD, LogiTech speakers, books and games for those occasional rainy days or evenings in.
Bedrooms are spacious, each with top quality super king beds (can be split to extra long single beds), ceiling fans, insect screens, plenty of drawers and wardrobe space. Third bedroom as an optional extra with its own bathroom - attached to the house with its own secure entrance. Main bathroom features a huge tiled step-down shower, easily big enough for two! New auto washing-machine, iron and board (if you must iron!) This is the owners' own holiday house, set up for maximum comfort for our own holidays there from NZ.
Outside there's plenty of outdoor furniture for dining and lounging on the generous covered verandahs, plus the all-day-sun private sun deck adjacent to pool. Very efficient, easy to use gas BBQ provided. The house sits in its own private large garden - big flat lawn for outdoor fun and games, ringed with tropical fruit trees, vines and flowering shrubs.
The location is brilliant - only two houses back from the beautiful white sand beach down the driveway - great snorkelling! Here you're handy to everything - within 5 or 10 mins walk are several good restaurants and bars, many on the beach, plus local shops, dive hire, rental cars... ten minutes by car or bus to the airport and town of Avarua. So many things to do and discover in beautiful Rarotonga - make it your next dream holiday and find out why those of us who keep going back call it Paradise!

Response from the owner Thanks so much for the lovely feedback Cecile! So interesting to read about the things you did and enjoyed there at our little piece of paradise, and yes, there's always more to go back for... surprising how much there is to do on such a relatively small island. Very pleased you enjoyed the house - you've been so pleasant to communicate with, thank you! (Note we always give a bonus (a freebie) to our return guests, so don't forget to come back!) Au revoir.

Response from the owner So glad you were comfortable and we managed to exceed expectations!

Thanks for being such lovely guests!
