“Everything was great. I have to say greeted by someone with our names on a sign as we entered the arrivals area, then a chauffeured driven personal transport to our villa with sparkling wine on the way was fantastic. Also this is the only place in the world I have ever stayed where there was no check in!! Drop off straight to our villa with complimentary cold beers and some food in the fridge says a lot about this place. Beverley popped round shortly after we settled in to help us get the most out of our stay. Rarotonga is a great place to relax, but Sea Change made our stay that much more special. We'll definitely wouldn't stay any where else.”

Each villa has its own private verandah equipped with bbq, table and chairs, loungers, and outside shower, and the kitchen is fully equipped with every utensil you could need should you want to cater for yourself.

We had a great time exploring the island or sitting in the warm sea at the beach at the end of the garden, reading and snorkelling. Everyone was very friendly and we had great fresh food, watermelon, paw paw etc. It was a wonderful chilled out holiday and Annie, Terry and Sophia made it even more by telling us where to go on the island and what to see.
