We were a group of grandmother, mother & 6 month old baby. The villa we had was perfect with beds & cot downstairs as well as lovely big upstairs room + large bed - plenty of room. The cot was always beautifully laid out every day. Roselle & Eric were very welcoming & helpful & obviously enjoyed our wee baby.... More

We were very impressed with the The Cooks Oasis, and for good reason. First, they made the booking process unbelievably easy, answered all of our questions and kept us informed every step of the way. Once we got there, everything went exactly as promised and as expected. The Johnsons make you feel like part of the family and are always... More

We stayed here for 4 nights and would recommend it to everybody! There is a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. You can use plenty of equipment (snorkeling gear, reef shoes, kano, dvd's,...) for free. The rooms are very clean and the breakfast is nice. It would be diffucult to say one bad thing about this accomodation. Maybe the transfer to the... More

From the moment you arrive to the last trip to the Airport to leave, you can not match the ambiance or relaxed and friendly hosts. Suitable for couples to families, nothing was a problem and everything was catered for - even cream doughnuts on Sundays. Can't wait to return.

We stayeed here for 4 nights on our way back to the USA from New Zealand. The room was comfortable, the staff was exceedingly friendly and helpful, and the ambience was very pleasant. The only drawback was that it was very hot while we were there, and we might have been more comfortable had we chosen the air conditioning option.

We are on the western, sunny and sheltered side of the island where you can watch the fantastic sunsets. The Arorangi district is only 15 minutes to the main Township of Avarua and 10 minutes to the airport. Take less than a minute stroll down the path to the white sand beach and beautiful lagoon. Perfect for sunbathing, relaxing, and watching the whales cruise by (in winter). For some family fun try out our kayaks, or go snorkeling and view the tropical fish. Self-cater or enjoy eating out at one of 6 restaurants in easy walking distance. Our secluded property with its comfortable and stylish pacific rooms combined with our excellent location on the island and excellent service really are a winning combination. We pride ourselves on running a “boutique” look, feel, and service property without the high-end expense. We are family owner operators.
