Avarua Escape, Rarotonga♡

Guest review

10.0

Avarua is a home away from home. Great location near the centre of town. Stacey was so accommodating and gave great local advice on where to eat, tours to book and how to get around the island while making the most of your trip. Great value for price! Will definitely recommend to others.

I loved that it was so close to town & the facilities were great too. The bus stop & centre of town was within walking distance about 10mins, a small grocery store was just 3mins down the road & if you walked further Raro Fried Chicken was on the same road which is open 24/7. A quick dip in the pool every day to help keep cool. I already miss the doggos, Evie, Motu & Honey.

Avarua Escape exceeded our expectations in every way. Stacey’s communication was outstanding — quick, friendly, and incredibly helpful from the moment we booked. As we were arriving on Easter Sunday evening, she kindly gave us advice on what would still be open for dinner and even helped organise food for us so we had something to eat when we arrived. That level of care was so appreciated after a long day of travel. Our unit was perfect for the two of us — spotlessly clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed, along with lots of thoughtful extra touches that made our stay even more special. The location was ideal: close enough to town for an easy walk, and very handy to the bus stop for exploring the island. The bed was cosy and comfortable, and the shower had excellent water pressure. The air conditioning was fantastic and ideal to get back to after a day out in the heat. There was plenty of parking space, the pool was fabulous, and we appreciated having access to a washing machine at no extra cost. Stacey instantly made us feel welcome. We discovered we had a lot in common and genuinely enjoyed getting to know her. Knowing we planned to self-cater, she gave us wonderful recommendations on where to shop for groceries, along with great suggestions for eateries, bars, and places to explore around the island. By the time we left, it felt less like leaving accommodation and more like saying goodbye to a new friend. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend Avarua Escape to anyone visiting Rarotonga.
