We had an awesome time in Raro. Sylvia was a caring host and communication was easy. You get two types of people going to Rarotonga, resort visitors and people who would like the authentic family home experience. We are definitely in the second group, so Sylvia's family home made us feel like privileged locals for 10 days!
There were chooks to feed our scraps to. Dogs to cuddle and walk with, coconuts to husk, drink and eat fresh from the trees. Of all our visits to the island, this house was the most spacious ever. Indoor-outdoor flow to satisfy every need. Having a soft beech right in front of you with ample swimming, snorkelling spaces.
One of the things we really appreciated very much was that we checked out when we had to catch our flight back. No, out on your butt on the beach at 10 am, waiting for your plane that leaves at 4 pm it made all the difference. We felt welcome and not just like a commodity! Thank you.
