Highly Recommended Lodge

A beautiful lodge with nice decoration, amenities and large room. Staff are very friendly. I requested for additional banana from the Chambermaid and on the following day, she gave me a bunch. Very thoughtful of her. Well located near the beach and you can enjoy sunset.

Don’t come a knocking!

The whole sad story was rejected. Not sure why. One star, because of the way we were treated.

Great small resort.

It’s always a pleasure staying here. This trip I was in Villa 4. It was great. I’ll request that one in the future being able to self cater is such a plus. Bed is comfy. Everything is clean and quiet.

Staff are really lovely. They give good directions to find down side street. Internet and aircon struggled through heat but just needed a bit of time. Beautiful bakery 100m and basically on the beach.

Would struggle to find a fault other than best to think you need an alternative to bus transport. However scooters available on site and great value
Alan, 8-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good value for money; the room felt spacious and was air-conditioned, free wi-fi available. Nice and quiet as it is a smaller accommodation and there weren’t many other guests around when we were there. If you like your resort feel though this doesn’t have the ‘luxury’ factor, you don’t have your deck chairs and pool facing the ocean like some of the resorts around. But it is simple and homely and a good base for exploring the beautiful island. The beach is a short stroll down the driveway and you can snorkel there, but it tended to be more choppy water than elsewhere on the island, as the waves break closer to shore (on the fringe of the reef). Everything is just a short drive or bus ride away in Raro, and this accommodation is in close proximity to many dining options and other beaches to snorkel at. Overall if you are keeping to a budget this is a very decent choice!
Jemma, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Upon arrival, host were very accommodating. We arrived late because of the flight delay, but hosts made sure we are looked after and comfortable. Cleaned our place every after 2 days, and restock everything. Walking towards the beach woth an awesome view. Great service. Will definitely come back again.
Pamelarose, 9-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We love this place. Matty & Erin were lovely and full of helpful information. The teenagers were very happy to find that Wi-Fi was now available. We were happy that a water filter was recently installed. We were all happy with the lovely beach only a short walk away, and the pool for cooling off in. Villa 2 had plenty of room for the 4 of us. The air-conditioning and fans kept us comfortable. Great facilities available included in your stay: laundry, BBQ, DVD library, reef shoes and snorkelling gear, and kayaks. There are restaurants withing walking distance and it is only 10 mins or so into Avarua by car. We much preferred The Cooks Oasis over a full blown resort. Hope we can make it back one day.
Leanne, 8-night trip

Sweet getaway spot near Black Rock

A little gem of a lodging option. Set away from the big resorts, but just a couple minutes walk from the front door to the beautiful beach, with great snorkeling! And the often-recommended Black Rock snorkel site is an easy 5-10 minute walk up the beach. The villa was simple and comfortable. All the necessities ae provided as well as some nice extra like reef shoes and kayaks, free to use. The property was clean, but keeping the ants at bay took constant vigilance. The management was friendly and responsive. There are several dining options in easy walking distance. (Do call if you are planning on going somewhere on the weekend, as many places are closed both Saturday and Sunday and the online info isn’t always accurate.) Note that this is a residential neighborhood, with nearby roosters and friendly but sometimes noisy dogs.
View from the beach, looking south. Most of the time we had the beach to ourselves, or with only a handful of people in sight.
View up the beach to Black Rock
Be sure to take a stroll along the nearby sea wall - the very long mural is wonderful!
Bethany, 8-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff were simply sensational, they went out of their way to assist you where ever they could. The only downfall with the establishment is that in the room that we originally booked I didn’t check that it had air conditioning as I must assumed that in 2025 all rooms at that price would have air conditioning especially as the Cook Islands. When we arrived due to the heat the staff manager had reassigned our room to one that was air conditioning and had already turn the unit on so the main living area was cool. The only area where the air conditioning could not reach was like a sauna so I can only assume that if we were not relocated our accommodation would have been unbearable. Hopefully the owners install air conditioning to all for the health and safety of all guests.
Greg, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This property is comfortable with all the amenities you need. It’s a short step to the beach and is right on the main road which makes catching the bus easy. It is safe and secure and the staff are super welcoming and helpful. It’s the reason I keep going back.
