An absolutley wonderful piece of paradise. I was looking for a peaceful break (the no kids policy is great) with a beautiful beach which... More

Clean, quiet and beautiful location. We appreciated the access to facilities - nice pool, kayaks, bbq. Staff were very friendly and helpful - gave us some good restaurant tips. We liked the laid back atmosphere. Beach is rocky making swimming in the ocean difficult, although there were some sandier beaches within walking distance. Although the weather was warm - we... More

Kia Orana BubiSchmidt, Appreciate your positive review... thank you so much. Yes we do sometimes get spectacular sunsets at the end of a wet day. The suns rays radiate through the clouds bouncing off the water droplets producing awsome colours in the same way a rainbow is formed. Glad you got to see one. Yes the internet is slow but... More

Rarotonga is a charming Island in the South Pacific. If you are looking for a beatiful quiet beach where you are worried about the tide coming too close to flood your bungalow (now that's ocean view!!), Sunhaven is your choice. They have a little day restaurant on premises but lots of original eating places nearby. Public transportation is excellent. The... More
