“Our destination was Bora Bora and we travelled via Raro from Sydney, staying 1 night in another hotel (nothing to write home about) before flying to Tahiti and then 5 nights in Kaireva Beach House on our way back After picking up our rental car, we stopped at CITC to load up some grocery before the 15 mins drive to Kaireva Beach House. It was an easy drive except we couldn’t see the house when we pulled up at Kaireva Drive. We had to walk down to locate it. Once we were there, we were welcome by Susanna and Robert(s). Susana showed us the house, simply ‘Wow’. It looked stunning in the photos but there is still the ‘wow’ factor when you walked into it. we just loved sitting on the deck, that’s where we spent most of our time until it’s really dark at night. Even though we sat out there fore pretty much the whole day, we didn’t notice Susanna or Robert being around, so it was totally private. We just realised they were pretty much always there when our little boy went bother them (a lot). the beach is just 5 or maybe 10 steps away, it is on the rocky side so reef shoes are recommended. Our little one always played there, swam there, even went fishing with Robert at the jetty. The tuna sashimi Robert and Susanna prepared was top notch (didn’t know how they got hold of wasabi in this little remote island), so fresh. the home grown exotic fruit basket was delicious, so as the vegetables and herbs that Susana gave us the other day. the pool wasn’t huge but adequate for a quick dip, Robert took extreme care of it by cleaning it everyday. Sitting on the hammock was the best way to watch the little one playing in the pool. The famous mooring fish café was only 2 mins drive away, highly recommended. Muri beach (and the night market) is 5 mins drive away, it’s quite crowded there so not too much of our liking (hence we were glad that we didn’t book into Pacific Resort which was our second choice). We did like one of the restaurants that Robert recommended – Beluga, a little gem at the other side of the island. We didn’t snorkel outside the house but saw a lot of different fishes by just standing in the water. We did venture out to the beach next to the Rarotogan hotel which was a marine reserve and apparently with the best snorkelling. It was beautiful there. it was a brilliant stay, the prefect location with an amazing beach house – and i’d say Keireva Beach House is simply the best in Raro! Pure Bliss.”
