Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Cook Islands

Thank You for letting us still stay, even when you were away and can say that this was the best. Love the morning wakeup calls, even at 5 in the morning from the roosters in the area lol and would listen to this rather than the traffic along the main road.

Wow! This place looks even better than the photos, it is literally on the beach, white coral sand all the way to the steps to get inside, like a movie. We were a group of 4 adults ( myself, husband and 2 adult kids) the set up couldn’t be more perfect for this kind of family group, the master bedroom/ensuite is connected but just off the main part of the house so would suit any family with older kids that you don’t need to see to during the night. The lounge and master both have tvs with Netflix. There is a massive fridge and everything you need in a kitchen, bbq on the deck. Also loved the kitchen had all the essentials like oil, s & p, condiments etc ( heaps of air bnbs don’t have this and it’s annoying). The only thing I wanted that was missing was a coffee plunger but I bought one and donated it for future guests. The beach directly in front is calm and shallow, perfect for kids and a morning dip. Bar next door is chill except weekend but shuts promptly at 10, No problem at all.

Accomodation had everything we needed, and what made it more enjoyable and pleasant was the host. We travelled in a group of 6 and had a full house. House is close to town within walking distance. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay

We had a perfect stay at Shelley & Te Aramaʻs place. The house was the perfect size for my partner and I. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for cooking, and they made sure to leave lots of fresh bananas, coconuts, and lilakoi for our arrival. We landed at 1am, and our late check-in was very easy. Only a minute walk away from our favorite cafe, Soul Cafe. Mahalo nui loa, Shelley & Te Arama!

This place is absolutely stunning. The location is amazing with a beautiful beach right out in front and a gorgeous double balcony to watch the sunsets. So peaceful and relaxing!! Made use of the outdoor water equipment and outdoor furniture. Would throughly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful 2 bed house. Constance’s consideration and thoughtfulness to our late arrival was so appreciated. Treats on arrival was the icing on the cake. Hope to return again x

Loved staying here. Would stay here again. Host was super responsive and helpful. The property is super close to the shop, restaurants, car/scooter hire and to lagoon.

Lovely older villa in a picturesque location right on Muri lagoon. The onsite managers, Jo and Mike were lovely and Mike even helped us with a last minute tyre change on our rental van when we were on our way to the airport. With the recent dengue outbreak and a baby in our party we were mindful of mosquitoes. We appreciated the nets over the beds and access to coils etc as we did see quite a few mossies as there are quite a few gaps where they can access the house. The villa is lovely and roomy with multiple inside and outside areas to sit and relax. It is great having the pool on the non ocean side protected from the SE wind.

Great position on top of the terrace to have good views down to the sea. The covered deck was great to be able to enjoy the outside even when we experienced bad weather. It's a great location to feel like you're amongst the locals down a quiet road. We enjoyed the company of the dogs, as they added a lot of character. It was also nice to have access to the fruit growing around, like passion fruit from the vine for breakfast which was a real treat. Josephine was also a great responsive host.

Jacqui’s place was fantastic! The location was amazing: just a quick drive from the airport, near (within a short or long walk) nice restaurants, bakeries, and coffee shops, but set far enough from the main road where it’s very peaceful and quiet. And it’s right on the beach! And on the west side of the island - the sunsets were amazing, and the stars at night were unlike I’ve ever seen! The unit itself was great: clean and modern with every amenity you could need. I highly recommend if you’re in Rarotonga. Worth every penny and then some! Thanks Jacqui!

Fabulous welcome from Jules and a lovely place to stay. 100% recommend. The absolute best combination of great hospitality with freedom to come and go. Made very welcome, would love to go back one day.

Fantastic!! What more can we say..just a great quiet loacation and everything exceeded our expectations. Perfect spot to relax and reconnect with mother nature. Walking out the front door and being greeted by an amazing view of the lagoon would be one of our highlights. The accomadation was a nice size with modern appliances to cook meals if you desire along with a water filter. Eateries and a store 2 minutes walk. Both Sarah and Adam are wonderful down to earth hosts We would definately recommend ..

A wonderful stay with my wife together on Rarotonga. Before check in you get a couple of information, that will answer all the questions you may have about your stay. The room itself was spacy, comfortable and very clean - We always felt well and had a great stay. Thank you very much!

We had a wonderful stay at Carlos' unit-we stayed in the 2 bedroom downstairs.Set on a lush property, with massive garden at the front, large living areas (2 living areas inside) and a front patio and back patio! My 2 kids (9 and 6yrs) played endless games around the property and thoroughly enjoyed the space. We also enjoyed coffees on the front balcony surrounded by trees, birds and ever present chickens and roosters! It was quiet but well placed in the west of the island right next door to Edgewater resort where there are meal options and acitivities we could join. The walk to the beach/lagoon is only few mins, but reef shoes are a must - Carlos has kindly provided these along with snorkels etc.There were countless thoughtful touches, such as DVD's, board games, library of books, CD/AV/USB/phone connections (connectivity was not a problem!) Carlos also respected our privacy but was always around (and welcome) for a friendly chat - he knows his island home extensively.Hope to be back!

The description and photos don’t do this listing justice. The view and convenience to Muri with still being private and quiet was unbeatable. Beautiful brand new unit. Huge bathroom, lovely pool, top notch host and experience.

MM Studios catered to our needs. I travelled with a school friend in a unit equipped with a kitchenette — fully stocked, down to a lunch box for leftovers! Rubbish bags, dishwashing liquid, and laundry powder were all provided, which made things super convenient. The shower has incredible massage pressure — such a treat! There is hangers for dresses, a kikau broom to keep the verandah tidy, and plenty of thoughtful touches throughout. We appreciated the little extras like a selection of books to read and island pamphlets, which helped us plan our days and explore more of the area. It was really hot during our stay, but once we figured out how to work the fan, the mosquitoes stayed away. The provided snorkeling gear came in handy too. I ended up discarding one mask because it was torn, but the rest was great. We were also grateful for the personal transfer to the accommodation — it made arriving stress-free.

Lynn was an exceptional host. Thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely kind. From the moment we booked, communication was smooth and clear. She had everything perfectly prepared for our arrival, and it was easy to feel at home right away. The accommodation was spotless and well-equipped, and you could really tell that a lot of care had gone into every detail. Lynn was always quick to respond and happy to help with anything we needed, which made our stay even more relaxed. We truly appreciated her warm hospitality and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommended!😊🌺
