Room was very clean and tidy. Beach access is easy to a nice beach. Swimming pool is excellent and very well maintained. Location is good, very close to Black Rock which is one of the best swimming spots and has food trucks with great burgers and the best coffee we had in Rarotonga. Cooks Oasis is also very handy to the airport and town. Property is set back from the road so it is nice and quiet. The hosts were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. They were amazing and went the extra mile to ensure things were easy for us with our little one. We stayed at other places within the same price bracket and found this to be better.

It’s a short step to the beach and is right on the main road which makes catching the bus easy. It is safe and secure and the staff are super welcoming and helpful. It’s the reason I keep going back. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine Feb 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Staff are really lovely. They give good directions to find down side street. Internet and aircon struggled through heat but just needed a bit of time. Beautiful bakery 100m and basically on the beach. ##### Christine Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trang Sep 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Thanks Marianne for her hospitality.

However scooters available on site and great value ##### Alan Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Pooja Apr 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The Team At Cooks Oasis made a awesome first impression by a special message on a blackboard advising our villa number as we came on a night flight. And that made it very easy. The place is quiet and chill for all those who wana escape city life.🙂 loved the complimentary fruit bowl ! Thanks for having us Christine ##### Pooja Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jemma Dec 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Good value for money; the room felt spacious and was air-conditioned, free wi-fi available. Nice and quiet as it is a smaller accommodation and there weren’t many other guests around when we were there. If you like your resort feel though this doesn’t have the ‘luxury’ factor, you don’t have your deck chairs and pool facing the ocean like some of the resorts around. But it is simple and homely and a good base for exploring the beautiful island. The beach is a short stroll down the driveway and you can snorkel there, but it tended to be more choppy water than elsewhere on the island, as the waves break closer to shore (on the fringe of the reef). Everything is just a short drive or bus ride away in Raro, and this accommodation is in close proximity to many dining options and other beaches to snorkel at. Overall if you are keeping to a budget this is a very decent choice! ##### Jemma Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vicki Oct 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The Cooks Oasis - 'O' for Awesome !! Immaculately presented upper level island beach house. Spacious, high vaulted ceilings, well ventilated, comfortable rooms, fully equipped kitchen and a great shower/bathroom facility. The wrap around verandah provided great indoor/outdoor flow with glimpses of the stunning beach 2 mins walk down a short shared driveway. Awesome hosts Erin and Matt are always on hand to offer super friendly, relaxed, professional assistance, nothing is a problem. Their encyclopaedic local knowledge, advice and connections helped get us into all the places we needed to go. A good bar (The Birdcage) and restaurant (Anchorage) are next door at the resort and nice little bakery across the road. First time in 'Raro and planning our next trip already - thanks to the Cooks Oasis team for an unforgettable stay! ##### Vicki Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leanne Dec 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We love this place. Matty & Erin were lovely and full of helpful information. The teenagers were very happy to find that Wi-Fi was now available. We were happy that a water filter was recently installed. We were all happy with the lovely beach only a short walk away, and the pool for cooling off in. Villa 2 had plenty of room for the 4 of us. The air-conditioning and fans kept us comfortable. Great facilities available included in your stay: laundry, BBQ, DVD library, reef shoes and snorkelling gear, and kayaks. There are restaurants withing walking distance and it is only 10 mins or so into Avarua by car. We much preferred The Cooks Oasis over a full blown resort. Hope we can make it back one day. ##### Leanne Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Greg Feb 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication The staff were simply sensational, they went out of their way to assist you where ever they could. The only downfall with the establishment is that in the room that we originally booked I didn’t check that it had air conditioning as I must assumed that in 2025 all rooms at that price would have air conditioning especially as the Cook Islands. When we arrived due to the heat the staff manager had reassigned our room to one that was air conditioning and had already turn the unit on so the main living area was cool. The only area where the air conditioning could not reach was like a sauna so I can only assume that if we were not relocated our accommodation would have been unbearable. Hopefully the owners install air conditioning to all for the health and safety of all guests. ##### Greg Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bethany Apr 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Sweet getaway spot near Black Rock A little gem of a lodging option. Set away from the big resorts, but just a couple minutes walk from the front door to the beautiful beach, with great snorkeling! And the often-recommended Black Rock snorkel site is an easy 5-10 minute walk up the beach. The villa was simple and comfortable. All the necessities ae provided as well as some nice extra like reef shoes and kayaks, free to use. The property was clean, but keeping the ants at bay took constant vigilance. The management was friendly and responsive. There are several dining options in easy walking distance. (Do call if you are planning on going somewhere on the weekend, as many places are closed both Saturday and Sunday and the online info isn’t always accurate.) Note that this is a residential neighborhood, with nearby roosters and friendly but sometimes noisy dogs. ![View from the beach, looking south.
