Forget your worries in this spacious and serene house nestled amongst luscious tropical gardens that provide privacy and beautiful views. Only 70 meters from one of the best beaches on Rarotonga, Rutaki beach is an amazing spot for snorkeling, swimming and kayaking. We have two kayaks available upon request.
Your host enjoys going for the odd surf, spending time having a drink with friends and chasing a ball across a football pitch.
Rutaki is a quieter part of Rarotongan with beautiful beaches and a quaint primary school. Guests have the option to dine at the Rarotongan Resort which is a two minute walk down the road. There is also a Polynesian Bike Hire a further two minute walk from the Rarotongan Resort. There is a Cooks Bus service around the island. One bus in Clockwise and the other follows and Anti-clockwise route. Polynesian Bike Hire is also a short walk down the road. Parking at Rutaki Retreat is free as is all parking at commercial and public establishments on the island.
