To the sides are the two bedrooms and bathroom. Set on a massive enclosed section and on a very quiet road, Tanias offers a big yard for the kids to play in and ample covered veranda space for the grown ups to watch them (whilst sipping on a G and T). 100 metres away is the islands top coffee house and roaster (Neil Dearlove), and also Rarotongas best baker (Reuben Dearlove his son)... mental note fresh baked croissants and bread every Monday, Wednesday and Friday (be there early). The immediate coastline where Tanias is situated is rugged, and although not ideal for swimming (its corally) is perfect for up close rock pooling and reef fishing. Tanias is less than a five minute drive to Muri Lagoon, and all things Muri (beaches, resturants and hotel bars) and five minutes to the main township of Avarua (when there arn't road works). For one or two families looking for a high value/comfort level, Tanias will "check the box". Special conditions: The house has a Bluesky wifi hotspot, to access it you need to open your browser, it will default to the Cook Islands BlueSky page, in the lower left corner, you’re able to by a data package (they’ll send you a username and password). Its quite expensive… 150mb NZ$10.00 500mb NZ$25.00 1.25gb NZ$50.00 Extras: Cleaning (included); Linen (included); ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Kitchen -

We discovered this place slightly out of town but still at walking distance where we could enjoy the lagoon with Kayaks or even walking during low tide. We could enjoy the beaches on small islands facing the deck only inhabited by beautiful crabs. #LifeAtExpedia](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6055262/0a7a11cd-31f5-48e4-adf8-e9e0eca68daa.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Avana Harbour 1 min drive \- 1.2 km - ![F70NJ0 Beach with palm trees over tropical water at Muri lagoon, Rarotonga, Cook Islands](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248621532611404/4089e2d1-66c9-4db4-a32a-b8bf27e36362.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Muri Lagoon 2 min drive \- 1.6 km - ![Muri Beach showing tropical scenes](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6055267/2a662e9a-fcb0-4422-924d-ae96403bf801.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Muri Beach 5 min drive \- 3.8 km - ![Tikioki Marine Sanctuary which includes tropical scenes and a sandy beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6127390/e02911f9-2556-403b-a503-fd0755d9eec2.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Tikioki Marine Sanctuary 7 min drive \- 5.7 km - ![Aroa Beach featuring a beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6142568/e187d45e-74b6-4f0e-88da-69c4de2432fe.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Aroa Beach 17 min drive \- 14.1 km ### Getting around - Rarotonga (RAR-Rarotonga Intl.) 14 min drive ### Restaurants - Tamarind House 7 min drive - Palace Takeaway 11 min drive - Vili's Burger Joint 3 min walk - Trader Jacks Bar & Grill 9 min drive - Superbrown Take Away 5 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Tanias Island Getaway 2 pet-friendly? ### What time is check-in at Tanias Island Getaway 2? ### What time is check-out at Tanias Island Getaway 2? ### Where is Tanias Island Getaway 2 located? ## Have a question?

Only drawback is the closest decent swimming area is about 5km away so having a car is a good idea. A small bakery that is within easy walking distance has the best croissants on the island. ##### Chris L. Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dael W.

May 6, 2019 #### Great little hideaway. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Quiet and private it is still only a 5 minute drive or 20 minute stroll down the inner road to Muri Beach. This is an exceptionally well equipped house that comes with brand new appliances and furniture, so does not have the headaches of some. It has large bedrooms with very comfortable beds, everything you need and more in the highly functional kitchen, a clean fresh bathroom with washing machine and both solar and electric hot water. We stayed here for a month and found the place wanting in nothing. The photos do not do this gem justice. We will be booking Tania’s cottages next time we are in Raro. Thanks for everything Eddie. ##### Jena O. Stayed 30 nights in Mar 2019 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Darren B.
