Rarotonga Daydreamer Escape is 2 minutes’ walk from the beach and offers spacious apartments with a private patio with outdoor furniture and pool views.

Set amongst lush tropical gardens, all accommodation boasts a fully equipped kitchen and an open-plan living area with a flat-screen TV and Bluetooth radio. Each has a private bathroom.

The unit we stayed in was spacious and has a beautiful view to the well manicured tropical garden and a pool.We felt extremely relaxed and found the stay more than pleasant. Each unit is independent has lots of privacy and not noisy at all. Rob is a fantastic local guide with great insights of the island. He was also very helpful and provided us bikes and snorkeling gear. If you are like us, being the first time on the island, remember to book a car/scooter well in advance. Otherwise, traveling to the town center could be a bit far by bike.

Boasting beautiful lagoon views from your private patio, Avana Waterfront Apartments offers guests private beach access and lovely tropical gardens. All accommodation features a fully equipped kitchen.

Apartment is very spacious, big living room, batch and kitchen downstairs and two bedrooms and bathroom upstairs. One twin and one matrimonial bedroom, the matrimonial one with a great view and balcony. Yes, it is a little run down and it may need a refreshing but everything was in good working order and mattress quality and sheets were great. Fully functional kitchen with all the utensils, spices, dish soap, etc. Great pool as the beach in front is not swimmable, too many rocks. Great use of kayaks to go to the motu just in front where the beach is just lovely. Staff very very kind and professional. A rental car is very recommended, 5 minutes drive to Muri lagoon and 10 minutes to town (Avarua). Would for sure come again, highly recommended.

Vaima beachfront apartments were absolutely perfect for our holiday and we cannot wait to be back. It was our first overseas trip away with our baby and they made us feel like we had a home away from home. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The location couldn’t be better… the snorkeling out the front door was amazing and the shop across the road was easy walking distance for anyone. The apartment was clean and serviced every few days and the staff were so sweet and lovely. The view from the back door was incredible and exactly how pictured. We saw so many whales as well which was so amazing. We would highly recommend Vaima beachfront apartments to anyone travelling to Rarotonga

    Simon and Denise were great. Simon picked us up from the airport, gave us a few pointers as we drove to the accommodation and then showed us to our room and explained everything on arrival. They left a TV with lots of movies for us to watch during our stay, which we ended up doing a little of due to the weather. The apartment had everything we needed, the laundry was a bonus and the pool area was very cute with the ability to have a bbq by the pool. Overall we loved our stay and would definitely be back
