I couldn't recommend Tiare Holiday Cottages more highly. Mostly because of the wonderful hospitality of the hosts and the beautiful surroundings. The lookout spot is possibly the best place on the planet to sit and feel the fragrant north wind while looking out at the ocean. Teata and Ta are knowledgable about the island (among many other things) and can... More

My wife and I spent a week at Tiare Cottages during a re-run of our honeymoon after our original visit had to be cancelled due to ill health. Mauke is beautiful, the people friendly and Ta and Teata perfect hosts. Highly recommended.

The cottage we stayed in was roomy enough to house a family of four comfortably even on rainy days. The kids loved the goats, we loved the sea views and a beer at their cliff top sunset... More

We had an amazing time staying at the Tiare Cottages. This is the place to stay in Mauke - an idyllic spot to relax. So quiet and lush. Plus, we are very impressed with the hospitality - so welcoming, genuine and helpful. And we are so in love with Mauke and its people. We'd luv to stay at Tiare again... More

Mauke is one of the outer islands of the Cook islands and about a 50 min flight from Rarotonga. We visited and stayed at the Tiare cottages for a family trip and were pleasently surprised. Mauke doesn't have much in the way of tourism, which is a key part of the attraction. No restaurants, no supermarkets, one store open between... More

Like many of the outer islands in The Cooks, Mauke is not easy to reach...mainly due to the outrageous criminal prices charged by Air Raro. However, once you reach here, you will be more than happy with Tiare Cottages. There are several different cottages to choose from: a small cottage that adjoins another cottage or the grand daddy of them... More
