Family holiday

The home was easy to find and get into. The set up was good for the 6 of us and we liked how there was a roon more seperate from the house . The pool was clean The amenities were plentiful We didnt like how mnay ants there were all over the place insdie and out , there is definitely an issue that needs sorting as other homes we have stayed in havent had them Loved how there was plenty of seating in all areas of the home inside and out for us to relax in . Plenty of ceiling fans too which were very needed !!! Also liked how there were cleaning products in the kitchen and bathrooms so we could use if necessary When we arrived it smelt of bad body odour in one bedroom and stale cigarettes in the house Nothing that couldn't be easily sorted but maybe a fabric spray on the curtains etc would help this to be more welcoming after each guest checks out Would return for sure as we could barely hear the roosters and dogs too which was a bonus not to have to wear ear plugs like previous hones we have stayed in !!!! Thankyou

Pacific Time Paradise

Wonderful location. Super friendly property owner and manager. The pool was a welcome addition with our grandchildren staying with us and to cool off without having to go to a beach. The rooms were spacious and two bathrooms were great to have with 7 of us staying. Everything you could want for a relaxing holiday. The beds were very comfortable and even the ant plague that was everywhere on the Island could not make our stay any less wonderful. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us.

About the host

Hosted by gabrwn494

We are a Kiwi couple with grandchildren aged from 3 to 16 and we have been coming to the Cook Islands on holiday for 25 years. In 2010 we able to buy our house and upgrade it to holiday rental standard, adding our own private pool and a third bedroom suite. We are based in Auckland but spend several weeks in Raro each year, and we continue to make improvements to the house and garden, knowing that what we enjoy so much, others will too!

Why they chose this property

After so many years holidaying I many different properties, we knew what would make Raro perfect for us and this house, Pacific Time, is it. We have the best of all worlds here... best weather on the island, wonderful sunsets and we are spoilt for choice when in comes to Happy Hour beach bars and restaurants close by, yet we have a lovely spacious kitchen, BBQ, loads of outdoor seating to cater for ourselves right here at home.
