"What a great place to stay. If you are looking for total relaxation then The Crown is the place, especially if you book a poolside villa, own pool, sun lounges, cabana to hide from the sun if needed. Wake up in the morning and look out into your own private courtyard where the pool invites you for a quick morning dip....totally beautiful."

This small, charming property has just four rooms, a huge pool and an excellent restaurant next door. Everything you need is provided. The fridge was stocked with fresh water, fruit, cake and even almond milk for my coffee, which was thoughtfully arranged after asking about my preferences.

The Bungalow was delightful. It was on the otherside of the road so not waterfront. It was a 5min walk to where we got to swim with a turtle. It didnt have air-conditioning. But it had two ceiling fans and all the windows had screens and there was plenty of windows for air flow. We were there in October so not sure how hot it would be in summer. I would defiantly stay there again. Jane and Craig were very good hosts, friendly, approachable, knowledgeable and helpful. Loved Rarotonga and would...

18 & over resort which is great when you wanna get away without your own!!

Very friendly and helpful staff, starting with the airport transfer which took us straight to the villas which are at a different location (about 4km away) and the driver then checked us in!
Very comfortable two bedroom, two bathroom apartment, clean and tidy, with sliding door opening on to a shared garden and barbeque area and straight down to the beach and ocean. There was only one other couple in the 6 villas so we had almost exclusive use of the snorkelling gear and kayaks.

A lovely stay despite the wettest dry season ever! The kids loved the pool, husband loved being able to watch the NZ news on the communal tv, we used the BBQ most nights. This was a good location with groceries nearby and snorkelling up the road and the beach across the road. We thoroughly recommend this place for families.

The room was spacious and felt just like home. Everything we needed was provided, and the whole place was clean and comfortable. The staff were always nearby, which made us feel safe and welcome.

We had a Beachfront room which was very spacious with a King and Queen bed and large bathroom. The views from the balcony over the lagoon were fantastic. Overall we love the Edgewater, the staff are lovely, the onsite restaurants are great and there are other eating options close by. We rented a car from Polynesian rentals on site which was great. We had a fabulous week and plan on going back again next year!
