Forget your worries in this spacious and serene house nestled amongst luscious tropical gardens that provide privacy and beautiful views. Only 70 meters from one of the best beaches on Rarotonga, Rutaki beach is an amazing spot for snorkeling, swimming and kayaking.
Your host enjoys going for the odd surf, spending time having a drink with friends and chasing a ball across a football pitch.
