Summary: This property is ideally located on the beach on a quiet side of the island. The view is gorgeous as you watch the waves crashing on the barrier reef a distance from the shore. The barrier reef provides a sanctuary reef that is 2 to 10 feet deep depending on the location and whether the tide is high or low. What makes this location so great is you can walk out the front door on to the white sand and into the warm water to snorkel or kayak. We snorkeled and were amazed at the various fish and the volume of them. We came across a sea turtle enjoying a leisurely meal under the water and a moray eel partially secluded in the carol. It was perfect and we were in the water every day.We hiked to Papua (Wigmore's) Waterfall and on to "The Needle" using the cross island trail which is located very close by. The hosts, Adam and Sara, were responsive to our questions and provided us a bouquet of island flowers, along with some fresh fruit and tasty, sweet bread. The pictures are accurate. The location is perfect if you are looking for the beach vacation with a beautiful view.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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!!

Summary: Absolutely fantastic location. The Bach is roomy and has all you can ask for. The deck is large and new and fitted with very comfortable furniture. You can sit there all day listening to the waves and taking in the stunning view. Great king size bed with cotton bed linen. Plenty of towels are provided and there was beautiful flowers and a fruit platter on our arrival. The kitchen has all you can need and the bathroom is nice too. Cannot fault this fantastic Bach - we will definitely be back.
