Lovely 2 brm house (1 queen, 2 singles). Great bathroom and shower. Separate toilet. Brms are small with coat hooks and hangers. Great deck overlooking sea and crashing waves on the reef. Very peaceful and quiet location. 10mins walk to Wigmores shop. 3 lovely dogs and multiple chickens on the lawn. Josephine was the BEST host!

Our family of four really enjoyed our stay at Tepaeru Vista, and would stay again. Josephine is a very thoughtful host and had lots of welcoming touches. Some cereals, milk, butter, and condiments were available for our first breakfast. She also had mosquito plug in diffuser, coils etc if you needed to use these. Happy to see an air fryer within kitchen appliances too! Fantastic shower, and comfortable beds. The house has been designed in a clever way for airflow, with fans and the right windows slightly ajar, you can push out the warmer air out and stay cool. We stayed in October and the heat was manageable for our 10 month old. Josephine respects your privacy but is also very friendly to talk to. Having the host in a nearby property also provided security. The location is spectacular, with beautiful views of the stunning turquoise water of the lagoon and the Pacific Ocean further out from the verandah. Also, you can see the 'Needle' and inner island from the back of the property. Tepaeru Vista has the most amazing garden of bromeliads, great as a photo backdrop. The enclosed verandah was the best for our crawling baby to play while we read books or looked at the view with a morning coffee. Our child also loved Rex, Alpha and Dog, three friendly dogs which would join us on our walk to Wigmores Supermarket, with Rex even waiting at the doorway to accompany us back home; our child wants to go back to Rarotonga just to see Rex. What a gem of a dog! Meitake Ma'ata.

A lovely space with great views, lots of little touches and amenities provided, we didn't want to leave. Great value for money, excellent location for snorkeling, hiking, supermarket, a few restaurants and the bus stop. 10/10 would love to stay again.

Paradise

The property is maintained in excellent condition by the owners Bruce and Josephine. It is extremely clean, well stocked with staples and in a great location. It is handy to some of the best swimming and snorkeling on the island and Wigmores is conveniently located only minutes away. Bruce and Josephine are generous, kind hosts and will make you feel very welcome

The views are fantastic. Although you have elevated views, it is a short manageable walk to the beach. My 19 year-old daughter walked to the beach regularly accompanied by Rex the dog and who swam with her. She felt very safe. The home is very close to Wigmore’s a 24 hour petrol station and small supermarket. Besides selling normal grocery items it also sells chicken curry meals and yummy steaks for the barbecue. The property is very clean and tidy and serviced regularly with clean towels and sheets. The Home is on the south side of the island, walking distance to Vaimas a very well known and popular restaurant right on the beach. Also a short drive to Muri night markets.

Paradise

We arrived two days late as our flight was cancelled. The house was open and welcoming. Two dogs welcomes us Rex and Dog. They became part of our family for the week of our stay. The house is perfectly located and close to all amenities like Wigmores and food places . The owner Josephine is super accommodating and helpful. We loved our time here. We are not resort fans and prefer privacy. This is what you get here. We will be back.

great views

was very well equipped with an amazing view from the balcony. it was not easy to find as there is no signage from the road. wigmores store is very helpful and close which was lucky as i didn’t have google maps capacity. The wifi was not great but that only bothered the teenager! met the owner once and would have had more contact with her if i had data as she was emailing me(my bad) she seemed very lovely and accomodating. all and all a great stay and a fantastic holiday.

Great Stay

A great place to stay! Our friends were just down the road at Raro Beach Bach so very convenient. Please make a sign for the bottom of the hill so it’s easier to find. Asked several locals and no one had heard of it.

Directions to the property

The map shows an incorrect location of the house. The easiest way to find it is if your coming from the airport and you pass the Sheraton on your left, you will come just into Vaima BEFORE Wigmores. There is a street opposite the DVD shop and take it to the top of the hill. Turn right, then take the gravel road on the right. The house is on the right. It has amazing views and a very nice breeze! It’s nice and close to Wigmores and very central to other amenities! Would definitely stay here again!

wonderful relaxing, and great conversations

propped up on an embankment with a view of the ocean picture framed with papaya, coconut trees and plenty of other tropical flora, and fauna lies the perfect home away from home in Rarotonga. This property is nestled in a community of local family, and friends of the island. Although it is very private, you can immerse yourself easily as much or as little as you would like with all people of the land. During my daughters, and my stay we were lucky enough to have the company, and conversation of the matriarc of the family Josephine, although the property is usually run, and handled by her handy, and knowledgeable daughter, and neice. Overall this was one of the most relaxing vacations I have had in a long time, and maybe ever. Have came home missing my favorite entertainment though the roosters, and chickens.
