Ideal for nature lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and have kitchen facilities. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than vacation homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.
I loved the privacy and 3minute walk to I think one of the most beautiful beaches in Rarotonga, we stayed in the lodge which was very roomy, there was no washing machine but people staying in the beach bungalows told us there was a communal machine and we could all use the tables and kayaks and such on the beach. Annabelle was unwell the week we stayed otherwise I'm sure she would have filled us is.
I stayed in one of the safari tents for 3 nights and it was the perfect little getaway, tucked back from the main road with beautiful views of the mountains. It was clean and comfortable and you can tell how much effort Vicki and Allen have gone to in creating and maintaining the retreat. Both were incredibly friendly and helpful when needed, their pets Molly and Possum were a cute added bonus! The daily breakfasts were lovely and there are bikes and snorkel gear to borrow.
Using booking.com we communicated with the property.... They allowed us to check-in early (1030) The Lodge was open with the key inside..... We were there for 4 nights and never saw anyone., except for the groundsman who was very friendly.... again the day we left (early) for a flight they offered us a late check out.... They then took payment by credit card.... Highly recommend....
Beautiful lodging, very clean. I didn't hire a car but easily walked the 25 mins to the very well stocked supermarket a couple of times. Would definitely recommend. It is like having your own private beach
