You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Ruaunga Pool hideaway

Surrounded by lush Palm trees and crisp colourful flowers, we've got you tucked away in your own little island inspired home. Soak up some sun in your own private pool or take a break and hit the beach. Chuck some steaks on the grill, or pack a basket and explore. There really is no limit to your island experience.

Whether you're looking to have a wild holiday with friends or a fresh little getaway with family, we've got you covered. Our three bedroom unit has enough space to fit you and your entire party comfortably. But a good nights rest isn't the only thing you should look forward too. With our location you've got the beach, almost literally at your door step with only a quick 5min walk to Social Centre Beach. A local favourite.

Feeling peckish but run out of supplies? No sweat, hop in your car or scooter and you're off on a 10min ride to town. While you're there, why not explore a little? Grab a souvenir T shirt or an infamous Cook Islands black pearl pendant. There's no limit here!

And if all this has still got you craving for more. Then be sure to check out Black Rock and watch the sun set on another day in paradise. While you swim and enjoy the waters of the Pacific Ocean.
No rush, no fuss. Relax, you're on island time now!

The house was lovely and clean. Had the things we needed- including five stand alone fans. The kids loved the pool- it’s a bit rough in places on the lining but the caretaker cleans it everyday so the water is beautiful. Outside area is gorgeous- mozzies are a pain but coils and plug in are a deterrent. Would happily recommend this home as a great place for a family holiday.

Relaxing in Raro
