A Hidden Gem in Rarotonga Certainly! Here's a polished 5-star review based on your experience:We had the most incredible stay at Vaka Rua – truly a hidden gem! The property is perfectly located, with amazing snorkeling right at the front. The fish were vibrant, and we spotted so much marine life without even leaving the shore.The location couldn't be better – within walking distance to Wigmores, Vaima and Circle Cafe, which was super convenient.We spent our days enjoying the peaceful balcony, alternating between swimming, kayaking, and simply soaking in the beautiful surroundings. It was the perfect spot to relax and unwind.Would absolutely recommend this property to anyone visiting Rarotonga! It exceeded all our expectations, and we can’t wait to return.

Paradise Absolutely loved this accommodation, spent 12 days there as a solo traveller. Perfect beachfront location , quiet part of the Island. With perfect amenities closeby supermarket etc. Swimming, Snorkelling and just enjoying the vibe of the Island. Accommodation had everything I needed for my stay. There is a restaurant very closeby, only open in the evenings. I had cocktails takeaways! But also dined. Dvd store plus pizza . If you are after solitude, well this is the perfect spot.

Really awesome place! Really great place, awesome location, all you need. Was kicking myself when we arrived, because i never realized it has no AC. I thought we were destined to a few days of sweating ahead. BUT... the ocean breezes did a wonderful job of cooling the place down. I was worried that a restaurant so close might bring unwanted noise and smells... but there again, not at all. It was really actually pretty great have a good restaurant so close. Would stay again in a heartbeat!!
