Vacation Rentals in Matavera

Everything was amazing. Beautiful home.

What is not to love about Ikurangi Eco Retreat?!!! Our mountain-view cabin was a true retreat...comfortable bed, kitchen facilities, well-appointed bathroom, and sitting areas (indoor and outdoor). The retreat is located in a very quiet residential area, a 5-minute walk off the main road. The grounds are lovely with a salt water pool and a yoga/workout studio space. Bikes and snorkeling gear/reef shoes are available for use. If you are missing your pets, cat Possum and dog Molly are available for pets and company. Breakfast is provided every day by Alan, a chef/restranteur. Very tasty and healthy! Vicki and Alan provide a great orientation and will help you book tours (definitely do Oz the AquaMan turtle tour). Just amazing! We can't wait to go back. Rarotonga is a wonderful place to unplug!

nice and quiet location away from the noise of street cars, suit its Name Serene comfortable holiday home.. Iwill recommend it to our friends.

Not applicable we supplied our own breakfast

great location and last minute. Love the peace and quiet of the location. Great size pool for the space. Host was very responsive to our needs.

The Location. Convenience. Privacy. Spacious inside and outside of house. The POOL, AC, WiFi, all the amenities provided. This beautiful house is fully loaded with whatever is needed for anyone’s vacation or stay. We felt very much at home. It is safe and private. The owner/ mgr of the house was very nice. Welcomed us with AROHA, much like family. We were beyond satisfied, happy and grateful to have come across this beautiful accommodation. We will definitely book this accommodation again.

Heron's Reef exceeded our expectations, cozy and well equipped apartment, great view to the mountains and beautiful gardens!! We really enjoyed our breakfast and dinners on the deck. Sue and the staff, Meme and Cris were so nice and always happy to help. We are happy to have chosen Heron's Reef Holiday Apartments for our first unforgettable experience in the little piece of paradise. Cheers, Alex & Kristian

The property was refreshingly spacious, clean, with large bedrooms with ensuites (kingsize beds) as well as modern amenities. There was no breakfast provided.

Big apartment, clean and tidy. Sun loungers directly outside. Thank you!

It was a pleasure to stay at tropical sands! Amazing hosts, chill and relaxed atmosphere, perfect sunrise! Thank you for everything ❤️! Do not hesitate to book this accommodation :)

Clean, nice location, nice surroundings, and comfortable

It was Absolutely beautiful … from the location ( right on beach) , the amazing staff led by Desiree to the rooms and the grounds are gorgeous

We loved the location right on beautiful Muri Beach. The private bungalow setup was wonderful with only four bungalows on the property, it felt peaceful and uncrowded. The pool was a great bonus, we used it daily and it was never busy. We also used the bicycles daily and really appreciated having them available. A few simple updates like brake adjustments and new seats would make them even better and more comfortable for guests. We opted not to rent a car or scooter and instead relied on walking, riding bicycles, and using the bus system. The bus comes by about every 30 minutes, and you can purchase a $35 pass for 10 rides that can be shared with others in your group. It was a great way to slow down and really experience the local vibe. The bungalow is up a steep hill, which is important to be aware of if you are walking or riding the bikes, but the payoff is an excellent view overlooking the lagoon. Easy access to the beach and lagoon made it simple to swim, relax, and explore the area. We rode the bikes to the night market several times to pick up dinner, and it was also an easy walk to Te Vara Nui Village for the dinner and fire show. We highly recommend adding the Cultural Village Tour to your experience. There is also a great bakery, a small market, and several relaxed dining options within walking distance.

That everything was available onsite free of charge. Kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, lifejackets, coconut husk even insect repellent, sunscreen, fresh bread, butter, milk all the condiments. The beds were very comfortable, the location was the best view and so close to everything. Kept immaculately clean everyday with the grounds, pool, rubbish cleared every morning. Well done team!!

This place was amazing. I wasn't sure it would live up to the pictures, but when we walked in, it felt like a perfect little beach house! We walked out onto the beach the first morning and saw rays swimming in the water! It rained quite a bit while we were there, so we spent more time indoors than we had thought we would, which was fine with us. We were so comfortable and spent a lot of time in the back of the house listening to the waves while we read. The location was close to everything we needed. I can't wait to go back again!

This is a beautiful little bach, right on the beach. Only a 5 minute drive to Muri lagoon and 10 minutes to town. As a single female, I felt incredibly safe here. I loved reading in the hammocks on the beach, having an afternoon nap on the day bed and enjoyed a couple of late night baths in the outdoor bath, under the stars. The host, Bianca, is lovely.

This place was paradise. We were there in the rainy season which means it can be pouring rain and 15 minutes later sunny and hot. The deck at this place perfect. You can sit out and watch the downpour or enjoy the shade from the hot sun all while enjoying the fantastic view and listening to the surf in front of you. We didn’t need to interact with the hosts much but the interactions we had were great. If we go back to the Cook Islands again we would happily stay here.

Kia Orana. I spent 7 days at Mr Bill's place and it was so cool. Master of all Mr Bill had travelled all over the world in 1960s and 1970s including places so remote that you need Google map to zoom in. His place has everything you need for self-catering. Just 15 minutes walk to 24x7 Open Super Brown supermarket for food stuff. Since the place is on Ring road you can use public buses if running. I highly recommend this place for staying as well as listeing travel stories from Mr Bill. Meitaki !!!

Easy location on main road. Super comfy and clean with ocean out the back door. Beautiful mountain view with cute piglets across the street

Our whole group loved our stay at Turangi Villas. It was very clean, well equipped, right down to first aid kits and brochures of local activities etc. It really had everything we needed as a family of 7. The air con was definitely needed and nice to have ceiling fans in each room. Manine was amazing, hospitable and replied fairly quickly to any messages/request. The welcome platter was also a lovely touch. We will definitely be staying again next time we come to Raro :)

Really central location, perfect spot hidden away and had everything we needed
