Villa vacation rentals in Rarotonga

Try picturing a warm copy home in the south pasific surrounded by beautiful fragrant flowers and the vast landscape of Rarotonga. I would reccomend this beautiful home to any with kids or a quick weekend getaway! I loved to additional of the cool swimming pool and the fresh air of the air cons! which helped us get through the summer hot days! We will definitely be back again! thank you!

Unless seeking luxury I don’t know why one might ever need more than this. Lagoon runs right to the deck but for a ribbon of white sand. Turtles and fish and clear water make for beautiful swimming and snorkeling in front of the house. Almost everything we loved that wasn’t at the location itself was close by. Friendly and relaxed hosts. A beautiful week. Will return.

We are so happy to have found this spot. What an amazing location. Our own little beach and snorkeling spot. We so so many amazing fish and turtles just steps from the deck. The home was clean and had everything we needed. We hope to come stay again. Can walk to restaurants and grocery store, plus there is a bus if you need to go further, but we enjoyed having a rental car to get around.

A beautiful home in paradise! Having this stunning accomodation to base ourselves as we explored and enjoyed the island was perfect. The house was air conditioned luxury, modern and beautifully decorated - we had everything we needed and more. Starlink wifi kept us well connected, the swimming pool was perfect and the bbq on the deck gave us a nice option for dining at home. Evie was an absolute star when we were organizing our visit. She offered early check in and late check out options to work in with our flights, and shared detailed information about the accomodation so we felt well prepared before we got there. We feel so lucky to have had this time at Te Aro Villa 2. To Evie and family - Meitaki Mata! We loved calling your place our home for 9 days 🌺

Absolutely lovely. The two totally private, walled in garden areas were a highlight. The room was well equipped and very comfortable. Rick, the owner, was delightful. Definitely hope to come back soon.

Absolutely loved our stay at Tere’s. The photos definitely don’t do it justice. It’s super close to the beach and the house provided snorkels, beach shoes, flippers and much more. The house itself was clean and tidy. Tere was an amazing host and picked us up from the airport and was just next door if we ever needed him. Tere also allowed us to have a late check out to ensure we had a place to stay before our check in our next place. Thanks heaps Tere!!

Our stay at Rachel's property was nothing short of amazing! The property exuded a serene Balinese vibe; the lush gardens, wooden architecture & open-air spaces created the perfect oasis for relaxation. The photos simply don't do it justice—it was even more lovely in person. Rachel was incredibly communicative, always quick to respond, ensuring we had everything we needed during our stay. We loved the thoughtful touches like fresh fruits from Elis, and a comprehensive guide to the area's best spots to visit. The house itself was well-suited for entertainment with an open layout, a well-equipped kitchen, & a cozy living room that made some of our time spent indoors (cyclone rainy season) a breeze. Though the rain didn't stop us from enjoying the infinity pool every day. Overall, we left feeling refreshed and grateful for such a fantastic stay. I highly recommend Avaiki Nui Villa to anyone looking for a memorable and pleasant stay. I would definitely book this place again!

Second time staying here and I wouldn’t stay anywhere else, private, spacious villa, well equipped with everything you need, snorkeling in the lagoon, within easy walk to Muri night market, coffee and juice bar and restaurants. Joy is a delight and always available if you need,suggestions.

We had the most amazing stay at Casa Del Sol. From the wonderful warm welcome from Joy and Arjay, who helped us in with luggage and showed us around the amazing villa's. The wonderful hosts and staff made our stay so amazing. The villa's are so private, calm and peaceful - it is a little slice of paradise on a magic island. The villa's are so well equipped, clean, and nestled in magic gardens. Nothing was a bother from the hosts - they gave us amazing notes about everything you could think of - including where to buy birthday cakes, where to dine and activities on the Island. We had an incredible stay at Casa Del Sol and hope that one day we will get to return. Thank you all for making our family holiday so special.

Greg's house is a great base to explore Rarotonga. It's comfortable, stylish and is right on the oceanfront. The location is not somewhere you can swim safely, although rockpools are interesting at low tide. The house has a lovely lap pool which is perfect for hot days and morning exercise. The roar of the waves is a constant backdrop, reminding you that you're in South Pacific paradise. The house is best suited to 2 couples with two large bedrooms, I feel, although our youngest son (18) was quite happy out in thel studio, but it is basic. We travelled with our two sons, and the flexibility that the house offered, rather than booking 2 rooms in a resort, was fantastic. Sitting on the deck at sunset, G & T in hand, was a daily highlight, such a privilege. The house is super quiet, in terms of any noise from neighbours, so very private and peaceful. The flat grassed garden to the side was great for our soccer-mad boys to kick a ball around for exercise. You absolutely need a car.

This private casita in the Cook Islands was everything I hoped for and more. Tucked away in a peaceful spot with beautiful ocean views, it felt like a little slice of paradise. Waking up and seeing the sea in the distance made every morning feel special. The casita was spotless, everything looked new, well-equipped, and incredibly comfortable—but the highlight was definitely the mattress. It was amazing. Honestly one of the best sleeps I’ve ever had—so soft, supportive, and perfect after a day of exploring the island. A huge thank you to Ira, the host, who was so kind and helpful throughout my stay. From thoughtful local tips to making sure I had everything I needed, Ira really went above and beyond. If you’re looking for a peaceful, private, and truly relaxing stay in the Cook Islands, this is the place. I can’t wait to come back!

Omg! This place was absolute magic! I 🥰 I knew when I wanted to book somewhere for my 30th I wanted something exactly like this villa. It exceeded my expectations and more. Waking up to the most beautiful views everyday, to having easy access to the beach, kayaks, swim equipment etc. Having the most beautiful, friendly cleaners that greeted us everyday with a smile and always checking into see if we needed anything. Kiana pureau was the one who checked us in and she was just a beautiful soul, very helpful & gave us some experiences to try which we did & loved! Theirs nothing I can complain about, everything from check in to check out was a breeze! The villa made our whole holiday even more special & we will definitely be back again. 1000/1000 recommend this place!❤️

Our only complaint was that we couldn’t stay longer !! Fantastic house and location. The house provided everything we wanted and needed. Thanks Tony and Lhia and thank you for the most welcome goodies in the fridge on our arrival, we will return.

We absolutely loved John and Ann’s home. It was beautiful. The location couldn’t have been more perfect. It was right on the beach, near grocery stores, restaurants and hikes. We had gorgeous weather which was the icing on the cake. Chantal greeted us as John’s concierge. Her friendly island flair made us feel right at home. We got in late at night and there were snacks and drinks waiting for us in the fridge. She gave us a run down on places to eat and activities to consider. The lagoon was excellent for paddle boarding and snorkeling. We had an amazing time. Thank you!!

We loved Te-Manava so much, we will be coming back. The staff were excellent, was like a hotel. Vitiama was also so lovely and nothing was too much trouble. From booking tours, organising a taxi or dinner reservation, she was onto it immediately. Highly recommend this property.

We had a fabulous stay near Muri lagoon, things were walking distance if you love walking, it’s about a 30 minute walk to Muri. We hired scooters which make the whole island accessible! It was great having our own pool but it wasn’t till close to our holiday that I found out another family would be staying in the other house across from the pool. After a few loud nights they ended up being good but kind of defeated the purpose of doing air BnB. It’s my favourite island in the whole world!! From the snorkelling, reef life, turtles, the ability to have lunch or dinner at any resort along with so many restaurants around the island to choose from, I can’t fault it!! We want to keep it a secret island to ourselves but the people need more tourists to come & support this amazing island. Hands down the best island in the pacific 🏝️ Can’t wait to come back & maybe try out another one of Shona’s homes ☺️

Great location we had a group of 8, worked well, nice and clean ,and everything we needed. would reccomend this place. We did need transport which was very reasonable , so were the scooters..Many thanks Rose and Scott.

Talissa & Teava’s place was awesome. Quiet yet walking distance from beaches & restaurants. The plunge pool was refreshing for cooling off. There was an abundance of fruits everywhere we went. Bananas, papayas, mangoes etc. Teava delivered bananas on occasion. I would recommend this as a place to relax & enjoy the island.

Honestly, this place was perfect for us. We had an adult family getaway with 6 people and this place was more than what we expected or hoped for. Perfect place to stay home by the pool, cook at home, have guests over etc But also a good place to base ourselves out of to do activities and walks etc. There are 4 villas here and it would be great for a big group to rent all 4 to base yourselves for a big holiday to occasion. We definitely recommend this place! Loved it.

Our stay at Boaza Place was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The design is stunning, with elegant touches throughout. The rooms were spacious, impeccably clean, and furnished with the finest details. The amenities, including the pool, were exceptional. Anita was attentive and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. We highly recommend Boaza Place for its ambiance and unforgettable stay.

Our host was super communicative and kind! Villa was beautiful and had everything we needed. Had an issue with Aircon at first but Di, allowed us to switch villas and had no problems there after! Lovely stay here.

What an amazing house! The view was incredible and the location fantastic for accessing Muri Lagoon and local resorts and restaurants. Thanks for a wonderful stay in the beautiful Cook Islands.

We had such a wonderful stay at Felicia’s Airbnb! The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. Felicia was welcoming and responsive host, helpful, and always quick to answer any questions we had. The location was perfect peaceful and quiet, yet close enough to everything we needed. Meitaki,

Lovely place to stay. Right by the beach. if you don't mind the local roosters waking you up early it's a great place to relax. Pool was cool and refreshing. which you share with the other villa. A lack of snorkeling equipment- so bring your own. Shops a 1 minute walk away. And hosts very helpful with local information. Would recommend this wee oasis.
