Amazing home
On first entrance it is quite stunning, we enjoyed the private front yard and back yard, and named the geckos that kindly do bug clean up in the evenings. Unfortunately the rainy season can be a rough time of year to visit without AC. The listing states AC which turned out to be a small unit that provided small comfort for one small room. It was difficult sleeping or lounging around the home on muggy days for three girls from a cold climate. Mosquitoes made it difficult to leave doors open for fresh air. Otherwise, we were overly happy with the home and it's generous gifts from the hosts on our arrival. The beach is lovely to listen to but is absolutely not swimmable and can be difficult to walk on due to the coral graveyard. I would recommend this home for friends or family.

A stylish and dreamy home away from home
My partner, mother, toddler and I had an excellent time staying at Tavake Oceanfront Villa. It’s modern, stylish, clean and has a spacious layout that made it ideal for our family group. The beach is beautiful although not great for swimming with the reef being so close to the shoreline. However, great for wave watching, crab hunting and we even spotted a pod of whales. We enjoyed the location between town (Avarua) and Muri. There is, in our opinion, the best coffee in Raro, Love Cafe, 200m from the house. I would definitely recommend renting a car for your stay here and then you can explore the island with ease and have your beautiful home to retreat back to. We loved our time here and would love to stay again in the future. Thank you very much!

Best. Holiday. Ever.
We had a wonderful holiday here with our three children (aged 11, eight and six). The house is beautiful and really well set up. The kids loved playing on the beach - building sandcastles and collecting beautiful shells. While the beach is not great for swimming (coral and a bit rocky) it’s great for fossicking and we loved spotting hermit crabs and geckos. We had a rental car which meant we could easily tour the island, hunt out great swimming and snorkeling spots, enjoy great cafes and stock up on groceries. Best. Holiday. Ever.
