Property was new. We were the 1st to stay at the property. Bonus was the pool. Felt like we were living in a hotel. Recommend this villa to anyone travelling to Raro. Host was always there when we needed things. Would go back there when we visit Raro.

Big bed was very comfortable. The new air conditioning was great! Everything was clean and in good working order. Extremely nice people. Nearby shops, close to the airport and a huge mango tree full of fruit. This place is above excellent and we would highly recommend to anyone wanting a nice quiet place to relax. Thanks so much

They have a great breakfast and the ambiance around the pool (music, staff, view) is great. There is ample seating with Tiki huts that I love to sit under and read. This is my fourth trip and I will be back.

Place was located in a beautiful spot to overlook sunset. The pool was a great touch to the unit & really improved the experience of our stay. I loved how close we were to the beach & the privacy as well. What made the experience even better was that the apartment was polished, modern but still had a touch of Raro too. We both really liked how there were additional features such as; laundry detergent, coils, coffee, tea, Netflix, etc. Having these features made us not want to leave the unit.

The place is perfect for exploring the local culture. It’s close to the museum, library, church, and there are several restaurants nearby, as well as the Saturday market. You don’t need a car because the bus stop is just a few minutes away. The best part, of course, was the amazing staff who truly cared about me during my stay and pick me up from the airport and a different accommodation. I stayed twice at this small hotel. The pool is great, and breakfast at The Trout was fantastic. If you are picky with cleaning, this is your place 😉

This was very unexpected but it was one of our most favourite stays during our travels. Mireka is the most wonderful host/person you can meet. We loved to stay with her and share her house. Thanks for all the help and all the conversations, we were really happy to meet you, Mireka and Poroa! The house is very big and clean. We were allowed to use the kitchen and had our own bathroom. Mireka even emptied some cupboards and one side of the fridge in the kitchen so we could put our food there. The beach is only some minutes away by foot and it is paradise because there are almost no people at the beach.

The staff and location were great. They have hot and cold drinks plus affordable breakfast/lunch meals available by the pool. They changed the linen daily and were very trusting. We saw whales and had a friendly cat that we got attached to.

Lovely budget friendly place with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Has a nice clean pool for swimming because the Inn is on the rocky side of the island so not ideal for beach swimming but stunning and picturesque view of the lagoon, ocean, sunrise and we even saw some whales, reef surfers and vaka training teams going by. Only a short (maybe 8 min drive) in either direction to some lovely swimming/floating beaches. Friendly, helpful staff and the takeaway hut prepared yummy fresh food.
