We had the absolute pleasure of staying for 10 days at Ambala house recently on our trip to Rarotonga. The owners and hosts are kiwis Pete & Pauline who were absolutely amazing. We got along with them so well that they stopped in on about 3 occasions in the afternoon for cheese & crackers and nibbles and a few cold drinks and we thoroughly enjoyed their company. So much so we even invited them for a BBQ one night and had a great time. The best hosts you will find just lovely warm amazing people. The house is just as good and the pool is even better. Upstairs is 3 bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen , lounge and dining and downstairs has the same but two bedrooms. You can either rent the top half or the bottom half or like we did the whole house. We took our adult children and a couple of their friends and they had upstairs and my wife and i had downstairs and it had everything you could possibly need and more including a really good range of movies preloaded onto the tv for those chill out nights just kicking back and relaxing. Fully functional laundry which was great as we came home with very little washing to do at all. Great location 3minutes to muri beach where there are bars and restaurants, fast food outlets, great pub the Mai Bar just a couple of minutes down the road, car hire, close to everything you need so location couldn't be better. When we return to Rarotonga we will definitely be going back to Ambala House for our accomodation and next time you guys are in NZ please look us up Pete & Pauline as we would love to catch up with you guys again for a meal and a drink. Thank you guys so much for making our trip so enjoyable and keep doing what your doing as its just perfect. Highly recommend. Take care guys and hopefully we will see you again soon. Kind Regards Rod Nicol

This is simply the best place to stay on the island if you are travelling with family or a group of friends. Ambala House has everything you need for a fantastic holiday. It sleeps 10 people very comfortably and having your own private pool in the heat of Raro is a game changer. There is a washing machine too which means even less luggage to bring! Located in Muri Beach means you are close to all the great tours, nice places to eat and the coffee cart is just a short stroll down the road. We have already booked the house for the next trip! The hosts Pete and Pauline are so great to deal with and super friendly.

We can't thank you both enough for opening your beautiful home to our family! It truely is the best air bnb we have had the pleasure of staying in. And we have stayed at a few places across the island. On entering the open planned living areas upstairs and down, both were beautifully presented. Each bedroom was presented as beautifully as the next, with every bed adorned with colourful island style bed spreads, set out with towels, toiletries, and a beautiful flower, added a 5 star touch of resort elegance! If the inside living isn’t enough to rave about, then the outside living takes this stunning property to the next level! With wrap around decks, loungers and table settings on both levels, we weren't short on entertainment space or even a quiet nook to escape to when desired. The spacious layout of this home gave everyone their own private sanctuary, perfect for a relaxing holiday! Topped off with the best sized pool that everyone, young and old enjoyed all day every day, made this home the perfect holiday home for our large family! Congratulations Pauline & Pete, Ambala House is absolutely perfect!
