Stunning views on the beach. Would recommend getting a unit on the beach, however the family unit we were in was also comfortable. My 3yr old son loved it there. They also serviced the room everyday where we would spend the day out and return to a nice clean place with fresh towels.

Lovely hosts, very helpful. However for the price, one would assume that wifi would be in the room and toiletries supplied! Note the beach out front is also not swimable, on shore waves!! Recommend if you’re after a private stay near Muri Beach (3-5 min drive) though. ##### Brogan Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Logan Nov 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Svien and Michelle were absolutely lovely, and have the property to match. The villas were well maintained and in a spectacular location right by the water. Would never get tired of waking up to that view. The room was very comfortable, and had both a fan and a heat pump for those hot days/nights. The hosts were very friendly and made some great recommendations of places to go and things to do. Could not recommend this place enough. They really had all the bases covered with a relaxing pool and even had a bar onsite for people to use.

We would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Rarotonga. Checkin was smooth, in fact, the owners were kind and flexible enough to let us know once the room was ready as we were on an early flight. The serenity and view the property gave was immaculate; you had the beautiful view all to yourself and surrounding was so quiet that we were truly able to relax and forget about our busy lives during our stay! The owners were also kind enough to let us know when a whale was passing by, it was amazing to be able to see this up close from your property! All of the recommendations Michele and Svein gave were excellent. Their communications were prompt and great (they even helped us out on something even when it was out of their office hours.) Our stay at Rarotonga was truly a rememberable one and no doubt deciding to stay at the Passage Villas was a huge contributor in this, thank you and see you again! ##### Kazuma Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracy Nov 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Lovely spot, great views and it felt very homely. The beach isn't swimmable really but we got to see whales at one point, and it was super close to swimmable Muri beach. The villa was tidied and refreshed each day and they gave us great advise for places to go to eat and activities. The only problem we had was the office was never attended and when I tried calling them I couldn't get through. Perhaps a doorbell would be helpful as I didn't want to go up to there house and disturb their privacy. Again, lovely hosts when they were available, they gave us snorkeling gear to borrow too. Highly recommend! ##### Tracy Stayed 12 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### catherine Aug 24, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We had a wonderful 11 night stay. The view from the villas was wonderful and sitting on the front deck one morning we had the wonderful experience of seeing whales right out from our accommodation. We were told about all the local events and places of interest by our hosts even down to the local bakery that makes the best croissants. With happy hour once or twice a week it gave us a good chance to meet other visitors staying at this small 8 villa accommodation. We stayed in two different ocean view villas during our stay, 5 & 6 nights and both had their really good points. We would recommend this accommodation, only one thing against it is that you can’t swim right outside your villa but you are only a short distance from the beautiful lagoon. You WILL ENJOY this accommodation. ##### catherine Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra May 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication The oceanfront location is spectacular, the only sounds are the ocean and the occasional rooster. It is safe and quiet, nice to sit oceanfront, there is limited beach entry. It is close to Muri village, island bus transportation is available, however a car would also be good.The room could use shelves or drawers for storage, we had to use the extra bed and living room chair to store our clothing. The AC stopped working and ventilation was difficult, the lanai door was open but there isn't much opportunity to open other windows for free air flow. Owners are on the property and are friendly and helpful. However, somewhat cavalier in charging your credit card early. ##### Sandra Stayed 8 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rochelle Jan 29, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This property has new owners that have refurbished and improved the previous set up. The villas are spacious and well appointed with lovely, fresh decor, substantial kitchen facilities and air conditioning. The grounds are tranquil - a fabulous, deep pool that is set amongst tropical flora and fauna, as well as an accessible BBQ, an outdoor bar for an evening drink or cocktail, seating alongside the reef, and access to a private beach only metres away. During our stay (9 days), the hosts were welcoming, friendly and accommodating. Fresh produce and breakfast supplies (milk, tea, coffee, bread, spreads, cereals, fruit) were waiting in the room on arrival. The outlook from the villas to the ocean is spectacular! While we were there, we experienced a tropical cyclone where the waves rolling in were magnificent! As the weather settled, so did the ocean, where it became clear and much more still. Exploring the reef and the surrounding area of the property was fabulous! Lots of little hermit crabs and other wildlife kept us amused for hours! This section of the island is the perfect spot for whale watching later in the year. There is a small shop across the road if you need basic provisions, or a little further down the road there is a gas station, larger shop and takeaways. In the other direction, Muri is only minutes away. If you are looking for accommodation that’s away from the busy, larger resorts, this is the place to stay! ##### Rochelle Stayed 8 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kayla Sep 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication ##### Kayla Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ute Jun 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication Tolles Beach House direkt am Meer Sehr netter Service ##### Ute Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heidi May 31, 2025 ##### Heidi Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MATTHEW Oct 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication Michele and Svein were wonderful hosts, welcoming us after hours and setting us up for a lovely few nights' stay. Svien was always on hand to help in any way. The property isn't on a sandy beach; it is on a wild coastline, which was perfect for our kids - so no beach swimming, but the pool is large (one of the larger ones from our experience in Rarotonga). The room was good for a family. It is very old and tired, but they are in the process of renovating. The villas provide a good base to sleep and then go exploring the island for the day/s. The highlight of the stay was Svien picking a Coconut and opening it for the kids - they loved it!!

Spent 5 days relaxing, listening to the waves and watching the whales from our villa Michele & Svein are incredible hosts, felt like staying with family. They gave us lots of recommendations and let us in on a local secret involving pastries... Exactly what my girlfriend and I needed as we didn't plan anything and turned our phones off for the duration of the trip Highly recommend and will be staying there next time in Raro ##### Jesse Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen Aug 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This is the place to stay if you want an authentic Rarotongan experience while still being close to Muri and snorkelling areas. Seeing whales every day was an unexpected highlight! Our hosts were incredible- knowledgeable and always helpful. Would highly recommend. ##### Helen ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Westin Resort & Spa, Whistler](https://www.expedia.ca/Whistler-Hotels-The-Westin-Resort-Spa.h428695.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Batavia](https://www.expedia.ca/Batavia-Hotels.d10642.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Motel6 Hotels in Medicine Hat](https://www.expedia.ca/Medicine-Hat-Hotels-Motel-6.0-0-d4118--bMotel6.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Winnipeg](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d6141041-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua](https://www.expedia.ca/Lahaina-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton-Maui.h3390.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Trois Rivieres Ouest by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Trois-Rivieres-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Trois-Rivieres-Ouest.h21290559.Hotel-Information) > > [Oleo Cancun Playa All Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Oleo-Cancun-Playa-All-Inclusive-Boutique-Resort.h16419073.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Strathmore](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Days-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Strathmore.h1710978.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Edmundston](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmundston-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Edmundston.h805720.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Athenes](https://www.expedia.ca/Athens-Hotels-Novotel-Athenes.h186388.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn Highway 401](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingston-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Highway-401.h7887.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Québec City](https://www.expedia.ca/Quebec-City-Hotels.d180017.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Lagoon Breeze Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-Lagoon-Breeze-Villas.h3007255.Hotel-Information) > > [High Peaks Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Placid-Hotels-High-Peaks-Resort.h2163041.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Abbotsford (YXX) to Penticton (YYF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxx/yyf/abbotsford-to-penticton) > > [Flights from Sidney (YYJ) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyj/yyc/victoria-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/31/flights-from-canada) > > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Rome (FCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/fco/kelowna-to-rome) > > [Flights from Delhi (DEL) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/del/yvr/delhi-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Manila (MNL) to Narita (NRT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mnl/nrt/manila-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Hyderabad (HYD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/hyd/montreal-to-hyderabad) > > [Flights from Cassidy (YCD) to British Columbia (YXJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ycd/yxj/nanaimo-to-fort-saint-john) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Cape Town (CPT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cpt/toronto-to-cape-town) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yul/toronto-to-montreal) ### Cars > [Van Car Rentals in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Van-Car-Rentals-In-Calgary.d178245-tVan.Car-Rental-Guide-Class) > > [Car rentals in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Vancouver.d178315.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Car rentals in Port Moody](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Port-Moody.d57383.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Seville](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Seville.d3312.Travel-Guide-Activities)
