About this property

Aromas 1 Sunset Central with beautiful Ocean Views

Just to the back of the living area is the dining area and full kitchen. To the left are double doors that lead back to the main bedroom.
An ideal choice for two couples on vacation together who require separate luxury accommodation.

Great location and view

Our first time to Rarotonga and very happy with this rental. Beautiful view of the lagoon and sunsets. A short walk to several restaurants, takeaways, the Rarotonga brewery, a bakery and convenience stores. Easy communication with the manager. We would definitely rent this place again.

What a spot!

If you are looking for a quiet place to reside with none of the typical resort noise then "Aromas 1 Sunset" is your spot. A perfect view of the islands beautiful sunset, straight access to the beach just meters away, local resorts, a bakery and bars are within walking distance. Highly recommend.

Aromas on sunset

I loved our stay! So beautiful to sit in bed or on the deck and see the ocean. A perfect location for everything and an awesome restaurant just up the driveway. The house had everything we needed for our week stay. If we find ourselves back in Rarotonga this is our spot again for sure. Eddie was so nice and easy to deal with. Thank you so much.

Ideal location on the beach for 2 couples in separate units

We enjoyed a very relaxing stay in this self contained unit which is well stocked .It is right on the beach where we snorkelled daily & even saw whales. There are several restaurants, a bakery, a brewery (where you can top up your drinking water) in a short walking distance. Having a landline phone made making booking easy for those who did not have a mobile phone. We would definitely book it again

A little hidden gem...

A short drive from Avarua located with absolute frontage to the beach is Aromas 1. Easy to find thanks to our hosts good communication. Quiet (minimal noise from the adjacent resorts at night) and comfortable (ceiling fans kept us cool) well-equipped unit with moRarotongan st of the things you will need for an enjoyable stay. Yes television is NOT good (Punky Brewster for those who can remember the 80's) so if you need movies do load them onto a device before you go. We found the supplied Hotspot catered for one of us and the Traveller e-Sim recommended by our host kept us in touch with home. Take books and games or just enjoy the lost art of conversation... Great bakery across the road and coffee a bit further down the road at Beluga. Little shop at Blackrock for wi-fi top ups and bits and pieces. A delightful stay and would happily return.

The perfect 'chill-out' place!

We spent a relaxing month at this little cottage within a stone's throw of the water. We went to sleep and woke up to the sound of the surf and the jungle fowl. A most pleasant way to relax and unwind after a very busy and active holiday in Australia. The cottage has everything you need although some things could use a bit of updating, particularly if you are spending an extended period of time there and need to do some basic housekeeping yourself (new broom, floor mop and bucket etc.) If you are only there a few days you may not notice this at all.We contacted the property manager, Eddie, about a concern over bed linen and he immediately provided us with new ones. The location of the cottage couldn't be better. There is a lovely little beach out front where you can swim or just sit and watch the amazing sunsets, beach chairs provided! The bus stops out on the road but we rented a scooter and enjoyed daily excursions into Avarua and around the island. The peaceful location within minutes of town was perfect for us. Your own little piece of paradise!

Perfect location for whale watching and snorkling

We will definitely be back to stay in this great little house. The location is perfect, just take a camp chair provided down to the beach right out front, take your morning coffee and whale watch. One morning the sighting were so frequent I was down at the beach all morning in constant joy and amazement. The snorkeling is beautiful with a large variety of fish. Safe to teach children how to snorkel too. When it was windy and rough around at the Marine reserve in front of the Rarotonga it was still calm out front for us. We stayed for 17 days through all weathers and it was marvellous. The bed was so comfortable, the ceiling fans so helpful to keep cool. The screen doors out front kept all the mosquitos out. I’d recommend taking a sharp knife if you intend cooking your own meals. Previous occupants have done the knives in trying to open coconuts by the sounds of things. There is no oven but we managed to cook delicious meals anyway. We have stayed in Rarotonga at a resort before and this beats it by miles. Loved our stay.

Little Gem

This lovely cottage (one of 2), ticks all the boxes for me. It's on the beach, yet private and quiet, set back away from the road, west facing for those awesome sunsets, and has all the basics plus more. Thoughtful items like sugar and salt and even milk in the fridge. A flat screen TV with HDMI input, a new comfy mattress, outdoor loungers on the deck and fly screens on the sliding doors. Restaurants within walking distance, eg. The lovely Kikau Hut, and a 10 min drive to town, even less to the airport. Eddie, the host is helpful and responds immediately if needed. I have stayed there 3 times now, and it will always be my first choice in future. It has become a home from home!

Peaceful sunset property

We loved our stay at Aromas, and especially appreciated how private and peaceful the location is. With a path directly down to the beach and sea and sunset views from the verandah, it couldn’t get much better. The bungalow had everything we needed and was very spacious and comfortable.
