10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Feb 2025
This property is ideally located on the beach on a quiet side of the island. The view is gorgeous as you watch the waves crashing on the barrier reef a distance from the shore. The barrier reef provides a sanctuary reef that is 2 to 10 feet deep depending on the location and whether the tide is high or low. What makes this location so great is you can walk out the front door on to the white sand and into the warm water to snorkel or kayak. We snorkeled and were amazed at the various fish and the volume of them. We came across a sea turtle enjoying a leisurely meal under the water and a moray eel partially secluded in the carol. It was perfect and we were in the water every day.We hiked to Papua (Wigmore's) Waterfall and on to "The Needle" using the cross island trail which is located very close by. The hosts, Adam and Sara, were responsive to our questions and provided us a bouquet of island flowers, along with some fresh fruit and tasty, sweet bread. The pictures are accurate. The location is perfect if you are looking for the beach vacation with a beautiful view.

Certainly! Here's a polished 5-star review based on your experience:We had the most incredible stay at Vaka Rua – truly a hidden gem! The property is perfectly located, with amazing snorkeling right at the front. The fish were vibrant, and we spotted so much marine life without even leaving the shore.The location couldn't be better – within walking distance to Wigmores, Vaima and Circle Cafe, which was super convenient.We spent our days enjoying the peaceful balcony, alternating between swimming, kayaking, and simply soaking in the beautiful surroundings. It was the perfect spot to relax and unwind.Would absolutely recommend this property to anyone visiting Rarotonga! It exceeded all our expectations, and we can’t wait to return.
