About this property

Beach Haven, right on the beach

The covered veranda has a big dining table so your friends can come and sit and drink and ultimatly envy where you're staying. Through the large bifold doors the living room opens up with big comfy spots to sit, and a GIANT TV with a Hard Drive full of of movies in case it rains. To the back of the living area is the kitchen, fully equipped and modern, a large local timber bench finishes the details for chef du jour. Along the access way will bring you to the bathroom, and then the open plan bedroom. Should you not want to get out of bed (which is king size) but still want to gaze at the ocean, you can, the bedroom has its own access thru bifold doors back out to the veranda and the lagoon beyond.

Beach haven is ideal for a couple wanting to treat themselves to something very special, its handy to a number of retaurants and bars on the south coast, and the beach literally 20 steps away.

Photos do not do this place the justice it deserves. We booked expecting a mid range property and what we got exceeded any expectations. Be aware the whole front of this property is exposed to the elements with only curtains in the bedroom but the way the property is situated it affords maximum privacy. Good amenities, good living space, great outdoor bbq and outdoor beanbags, assured privacy. Eddie was great to deal with. We will definitely be staying here again in the future.

Beach Haven by name and nature
Beach Haven is a great place for a couple to stay, clean and tidy with all the facilities required. Beach front location means a sea view and easy access to the beach with snorkeling a short walk away.

So private
We loved our stay at Beach Haven, such an amazing view, the house was lovely and had everything we needed while we were staying there. The back yard is very private and the beach is nice and quiet too. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

This property was perfectly set up for staying several days/weeks in homely comfort. It is in a perfect location to see turtles, or race round in a buggy in the mud. Walking distance to restaurants.

Home away from home
Beach Haven definitely was exactly what we were looking for in a vacation property. The house was very clean and fully equipped for cooking or entertaining for family and friends. If you prefer to eat out there are a few restaurants within walking distance. The full patio doors open in both the bedroom and living room providing an incredible ocean view. We appreciated the ease of checking in and checking out, especially with arriving very early morning and departing late at night. We look forward to staying at Beach Haven when we return to Rarotonga!

Private and Perdue for couples
What a relaxing and beautifully positioned place. If you are not a fan of resorts and want a private, beachfront home from home this is a great find. Very clean and really well equipped. Graeme the owner awesome and leaves you to it unless of course you need something. Thanks so much we would love to stay again soon!!

Private Beachfront
Excellent setting with a private front lawn adjoining beach and lagoon (few people use this area so it's like having your own beach); kayak and SUP provided (SUP old but good); well-equipped kitchen where we prepared most meals during our 25 night stay; spacious and comfortable home; no need to pay extra for air con as fan provided; Wigmore's Supermarket 10 min walk along road or beach; Rarotongan Resort 18min other direction. Eddie available on the home's land line. Ideal place for independent travellers who value privacy.

Great home and location!
Fantastic home on the beach front in a great location. Really close to Wigmore’s supermarket which is handy and walking distance to our favourite restaurant Vaima. Eddie was very helpful and responsive before check in and once we’d arrived. Helped us out with a couple of car rental contacts as the island was really busy which saved us!! Great place to stay. I would recommend 100%!!

Private and Picturesque
While it took a little bit of extra effort to confirm our booking, it was well worth the persistence. It was modern accommodation with a great view and a feeling of complete privacy. The kitchen was well equipped and the bbq was in good condition. We would gladly stay again on a return visit.

Great spot!
We wholly enjoyed our stay at Beach Haven in Ruako. The home is modern and perfect for couples. The owner (lives next door) was friendly and very accommodating. Although we didn’t take advantage of the SUP board or kayak, it was nice to have the option. I would highly recommend this property for your stay on Raro.

Great getaway
Bungalow is just as described. Private and quite right on the beach. It has everything a couple needs for a cozy home away from home. It was clean and comfortable. Close to restaurants and Wigmore Supermarket. Has nice view of sunset. Would stay here again. This is one of our favorite islands we just love this area on Roratonga. We will be back for a much longer visit.

Beautiful Modern Home
The Beach Haven is a beautiful home and perfect for two people. My girlfriend and I stayed here for 10 nights while visiting the island and absolutely loved the place. We enjoyed waking up to the ocean view, walking to the local store as well great restaurants. The local neighbors even invited us over for a holiday BBQ and fed us more than we could possibly eat. This is the perfect place to stay on the island, I highly recommend to anyone considering.
