The whole property was perfect for our 5-person group (2 couples & 1 solo). Communication before, during, and after our stay with the wonderful host, Mama Dor, made the booking process so smooth. Off a late arrival to Raro, Mama Dor greeted us at the airport and ended up taking us to the villa herself (cost involved but less hassle navigating with taxis). The private property has a great size driveway - we fit our 2 scooters and rental car there with ample space left. There's a huge kitchen with all the amenities needed, a bbq out on the patio by the pool, sun-loungers, big outdoor table setting and an outdoor shower. There are 3 bedrooms, each with super powerful aircon and with very comfy beds. There's a laundry room with modern washing machine and drying racks (clothesline outside too) and great size bathroom. Aldi is the very caring caretaker who looks after the grounds and pool. On behalf of Mama Dor he even bought around a big fresh water cooler from Mama Dor 🙌🏽 We didn't have to buy any water after that! Talk about going above and beyond! We loved coming back to the villa after long exploration days & not dealing with the masses like you do at resorts. We came and went as we pleased, swam in the pool at any time and enjoyed the peace and views of the surrounding mountains. A 5 minute walk up from the villa is Super Brown convenience store/petrol and snack canteen. You're no more than a 10 minute scooter ride to town from the villa and to the right a cruisy ride to Muri. The villa really lets you feel at home, we had a few friends drop in and comment on how peaceful we had it and everything we need, like being at home. Highly recommend Te Etu Villa2 and the wonderful host, Mama Dor.

The cleanliness the host Dorisse is the best host on the island. Her helper Aldi is exceptional. The villa is so clean everything is available just move in with your clothes and food pool was so clean. What more can i say about this manea villa. I will continue to book to stay here every visit to Rarodise.

Nothing we enjoyed everything around the villa.

Our family was looking for somewhere close to town but not in town to avoid high touristy areas. This property provided that and so much more. Just minutes drive from the main town centre in a neighbouring village of Tupapa this villa is tucked away providing its occupants the opportunity to relax, unwind and enjoy the scenery without any disturbance. The facility is clean and homey. Each room has an air conditioner which is a treat especially of those hot summer days/nights, the villa has all the amenities that you’ll need during your stay. The outside is maintained every day by a young man and he does such an excellent job!! We loved everything around the villa especially the private pool!

the neighbors roosters waking us up at ridiculous o'clock....they clearly can't tell the time

location is good. Not on the beach, on the back road, but doesn't matter when the facilities are as good as they are, and our hostess checks in to make sure we are comfortable.

The host, Dor, was soooo amazing. Lovely, accommodating, went over and above for us. Location was perfect. In between town and Muri, and only a walk away from 24/7 shop and delicious takeaways. The home was gorgeous and full of everything you will need! Aldi is the maintenance guy and was so helpful and lovely! The pool was absolutely beautiful.

The bathroom flooded quickly would be good if they could get a plumber to put in an extra drain hole by the water faucet

Best part was that there was glad wrap, water, tin foil, coffee, tea and soap available as well as sunscreen and bug spray

Stayed in May 2024

That we couldnt stay longer we loved everything about our facilities, the home and pool was exceptional

The personal touch from Dorrise was excellent - she met us at the airport and took us to the house. The villa was easily accessible and home;ly - a true home away from home experience. Fruit and veges were available - it was handy to Super Bown and any other amenities we required. Not far from the beach and all the attractions.

There is nothing not to like about Te Etu Villas! It's away from the hustle and bustle but not too far away. Aunty Dor was so accommodating and even offered us rides when needed before we got our rental. Our pool was cleaned daily and if there was any issues, they would have been sorted straight away. Lots of space so we weren't all in each others way and LOVE that there was aircon in every room. Defs recommend :)

Stayed in September 2023

Water from the shower does pool on the floor if the kids aren’t careful - like ours! Otherwise - Nothing to complain about

Private. Air conditioning. The pool! 24 Store & gas station just around the corner.

We did not think there was anything that could have been better apart from advice above about best to have transport of some sort to explore the rest of the island.

The location was fine if you like peace and quiet which we did. Having our own pool to relax in was fantastic and it was a beautiful pool and well maintained. The property was well set up for cooking at the property and for relaxing outside - well set up undercover area outside (dining and lounge furniture) for when it was hot. I would advise that having a car, motorbike or pushbike is best for this location to get into town or around the island but it was only 500 metres to a grocery store and about a kilometre to a coffee shop which made a nice walk

Everything about Te Etu Villa 2 was spectacular. The grounds so clean and tidy the pool was sparkling salt water so refreshing. The inside of the villa absoloutely beautiful. Dorisse is the perfect host manea in every way. We loved how secluded it was but then not that far from everything. Definitely going to be our accom again when in raro.
