We spent seven nights at Sunhaven whilst holidaying in Rarotonga for a wedding. Gordon, Patti and the staff at Sunhaven couldn't be more accommodating if they tried!! We were in Unit 2, one of the beachfront stand alone units, and it was perfect for our requirements. Nice and close to the beach but still quiet and private. We were in... More

Kia Orana Joda77, I'm pleased to see you've given us high marks for cleanliness. Our staff do a "spring clean" every time a room is vacated to make sure it is fresh and clean for the next guests. I've passed on your feedback to them. We hope to see you again for another "relaxing stress free time". Thanks for your... More

My husband and I have just returned home to Colorado after two weeks at Sunhaven Beach Bungalows on Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. We wanted a carefree vacation and that was exactly what we found at Sunhaven. We stepped into a spotless bungalow that was just a few paces from the ocean’s edge. The wide beach at Sunhaven offers big... More

Kia Orana Mary M, Thanks for sharing the highlights of your "carefree vacation" at Sunhaven. Your descriptive review tells it as it is. And thanks a lot for the bears foot pendent. I'll add it to my USA cycle tour memorabilia. When you need more "carefree" you know where to find it. Best regards and kia manuia, Dennis, Patti, Ali,... More
