House vacation rentals in Matavera District

Lynn's home was the exact privacy we were looking for. The pool, the views, the layout was exceptional. We didn't want to leave, everything we needed was right there. We just loved it. I can't speak highly enough of the communication, pre and during the booking. Kate was there at the home to show us around and then left us to it, which we appreciated. The home has more than you can ask for, it was a home away from home. A huge thanks to Lynn for sharing such a stunning home and pool. We will be back. Kind regards Marie

Beautiful private home with beautiful pool , Clean comfortable and fully equiped . Lovely people and highly recommend.

We had the most amazing time at Starboard which was pure paradise. From the moment we arrived, the stunning ocean views took our breath away, and the villa itself was better than the photos. The infinity pool was our daily retreat, we couldn't get enough of it. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to cook meals, and the complimentary coffee, fruit, and fresh bread were great touches. Waking up to the sunrise over the ocean each morning was a highlight. While the beach in front of the villa is more for sunbaking than swimming, the pool more than made up for it. Muri Beach is also just a short drive away and perfect for swimming. Having the car included was amazing. It made exploring the island, going to dinners, and doing day tours really easy. Our host Anita went above and beyond to assist us during our stay (including meeting us at the airport on the final day to collect the car) - the epitome of a super host. Don’t hesitate - book now!

I felt I could message the host anytime before and while we were there and she responded quickly. Helpful. Great ammenities.

Great place to stay, great to have a pool on those scorcher days, little one absolutely loved it. Beware if you are a bit of a late sleeper or enjoy your sleep, chickens on the island dont really make that possible, otherwise was a great location for us, very clean and neat. My only issue was with a little one the wasps were a bit of a nuisance, they are all over the island but we seemed to get quite a few roaming into the house, after 3 they dissapeared so it was great to enjoy the outside space at that point. I would recommend this place to any family wanting to unwind and enjoy some Raro outdoors, undercover area was perfect for those rainy afternoons. Thanks again Demond and Tracy, you guys made this experience easy and seemless foe our first trip to Raro, thanks for the use of the car this was an absolute lifesaver for us. Truly great hosts.

Dear Leilani and Vai, Thank you both so much for a truly wonderful stay at your beautiful home in Rarotonga. Having visited the island more than 20 times over the years, we can honestly say your property has been one of our absolute favourites. The home is incredibly spacious, immaculately clean and tidy, and perfectly set up for a relaxing stay. We especially loved the pool area – the covered spaces on both sides of the living area made it easy to enjoy the outdoors at any time of day, rain or shine. Vai, thank you for the outstanding job keeping everything in such pristine condition – it really made a difference and did not go unnoticed. For future guests, we’d highly recommend Vianna’s for a casual bar experience, Nautilus for finer dining and delicious small plates, and the Bond Store for the best value alcohol outside of duty free. If the weather plays along, a jet ski tour with TVK watersports is also an exciting way to experience the island from a different perspective.

We were looking for a beach front spot for my boys to snorkel the lagoon and to enjoy the sun and warmth of the island. This spot was incredible. We walked up and down the Muri beach and IMO this spot has THE BEST beach front set up. Every morning I would drink my tea at sunrise under the palm trees on the beach with warm breeze. I loved sitting in the loungers for hours either in the palm trees shade or in the sun on the beach. We snorkeled and paddle boarded a ton. Adam and Sarah took great care of us while we were there with taxis and suggested things to do. The house had plenty of space and the landscaping was beautiful. Even though there was no air conditioning, the breeze off the ocean and ceiling fans kept us cool and comfortable. The only downside, which would absolutely not keep me from coming back here again, was a strong musty odor whenever you opened the kitchen cabinets. I imagine with the humidity it’s hard to keep enclosed spaces free of mold. Still highly recommend.

We absolutely loved Diane's place. It was perfect for our group of six. It felt homely, restful and everything we needed. The view was amazing and so wonderful having the pool and beach right there. We didn't want to leave. A real treasure. We also appreciated the availability of kayaks, snorkel gear, aqua shoes and beach towels. A huge thanks to Diane and her team.

We had an incredible stay at Diane’s place. What a wonderful location. A spectacular place to stay on the island! The house was very clean, offered all necessities + more! Diane was super friendly and accomodating. The location is beautiful, situated back from the main road in a cute jungle like environment with the mountains in the background. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the beautiful Cook Islands.

This property was even more magical than what we expected. The photos of the house and views don’t do it justice at all. You have thought of every minor detail to make people really feel like they are home. This was our 4th time to Rarotonga, and this property has been our favourite by far! We can’t wait to come back! Meitaki Mata Lara for your amazing hospitality!

The best Airbnb in Rarotonga so far. It was great for me and my small family. Had everything we needed. Ideal place for a family situated in a quiet neighborhood. Loved everything about this place. Thank you Marie appreciate you and your accomplishments with your Airbnb.

Loved the quaintness and proximity to great snorkelling beach (swam with turtle there on our last day). Also close to good rental place for scooter. Host was responsive, helpful and available. Very chilled - wish we could have stayed longer.

One of the best places I've stayed at, a very large, spacious house with many rooms near the sea, fresh, just like the photos, I would love to return.

Absolutely amazing place, would highly recommend this accommodation. Malina was so accommodating to our needs allowing us to drop off our luggage while we went out for lunch and even allowing a late check out due to an afternoon international flight home. Her home was clean and modern very spacious and private especially for my noisy large family. Definitely rebooking again soon. Thank you Malina

Altho our trip was cut short due to an incident, this is a beautiful home, tucked up inland away from the main road. Our hosts were absolutely lovely, very friendly, helpful and there whenever we needed them. They have 2 pups that welcomed you when you arrive, gorgeous pups. Thank you for having us. All the Jae & Family xo

The home was great for a family trip, lots of space for the 6 of us. Kids loved the pool and all the floaties they could use. Beds were so comfortable and fans in every room as well as aircon came in so handy on hot days. David was so helpful with everything and gave clear instructions for the home. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Highly recommended!!! The home is beautiful with everything as listed. Private location waking up everyday to a beautiful view of the mountainside, with beach access just across the road. This place was perfect for our young family of four with 2 kids under five as there is a big yard with chickens where kids can run around. We enjoyed our stay here, Matanoanoa is a fantastic host who would check in on us making sure we had what we needed, from time to time. Would love to come back ❤️

Thank you Ben for a lovely stay. Although the weather wasn’t on our side to enjoy the beautiful balcony & surroundings, this would be a lovely place to stay for any families visiting. The piggies down the street are an added bonus.

Glenn & Bev were absolutely fantastic. Great communication & super accommodating from the start. Glenn allowed us to check in a little earlier which was immensely helpful as we had my parents with us who had arrived earlier than expected when we needed to check out after our first nights accommodation. This was an amazing place to stay with spectacular views from the undercover outdoor al fresco dining table which is large. We enjoyed many occasions just sitting, talking & eating together there with those lovely ocean views. The home is so spacious but not cluttered. The rooms are large & the beds are comfortable. There were some reviews mentioning bugs, but we only had the odd millipede. It is in the bush so not reasonable to expect otherwise. We didn’t find it a problem at all. Bev - the caretaker (who is so lovely) was always around when we needed her, but never invaded our privacy & was always quick to help when we needed it. We were grateful to her for that. We felt at home.

Avana Bridge Homestead is a lovely cottage that met all our needs as a family of 5. Stand-out features are the fans in every bedroom, the and crabs on the property and the very friendly cat! Josh was super responsive, flexible and accommodating. We would recommend staying here.

Melanie’s place is fantastic. Extremely well located on the island, the place itself was beautiful with a lovely pool and all other amenities needed. Mel was extremely responsive and helpful, assisting us with everything we needed. Would most definitely stay here if returning to the Cook Islands.

Great location,Fabulous views, right on the beach.& good snorkeling.The house had everything we needed for a wonderful holiday. Elizabeth was a great host

Thank you Teuira for a lovely stay! The house was stocked up with all the possible necessities that you may require. The kitchen was well equipped with lots of appliances and an abundance of kitchen ware. The facilities were clean and up to date. Some photos made the space look smaller, but it was very spacious and very clean. As mentioned cellular connection is limited. But a wifi hotspot works just fine and we had no issues browsing the web. Overall we would definitely recommend this spot.

great place to stay, it's quiet and peaceful. I would recommend this place to anyone who's looking for simple lifestyle on the island
