“Susana’s house is located in a magic spot next to the lagoon and handy to everything that you need. The house is well designed in every aspect and is a perfect holiday set up. We were also shown great hospitality from Susana and her family and have learnt many local customs such as making coconut cream We will certainly return“.

“A totally magic beach house welcomed me back to Rarotonga Immediately I was on “Island Time” It was like having local friends as soon as we met – and it feels like I’ve been here for weeks Enjoying your local produce, crafted accommodation, sharing a freshly caught tuna, and meeting locals with you has made for a truly exceptional Cook Island experience ! Thank you Susana, Robert & Robert Jnr. You deserve all the accolades and awards a super-host receives Meitaki”.

“I chose this property to fulfil a dream of having a month’s respite in Rarotonga. This was a year in the planning. There was a wide range of accommodation options however I kept coming back to my original choice of Kaireva Beach House. I was drawn to the picture of it and it being described in detail as an authentic Eco home built by its owners. As a previous Airbnb Super Host I knew the standard that would need to be achieved by the hosts and that experiencing a stay in an Eco home would be ideal for me as I have spent many years teaching Environmental Education and Sustainability. From the first contact I had with Susana I knew I had made the right decision. The communication was prompt with every query answered and requests accommodated. (Susana’s first language is Spanish and we enjoyed chatting!). As I had researched and read the listing thoroughly I was aware of its location and the story behind the house which was that it was built by the owners from timber milled on site from Robert’s family property. The length of time, love and care that has gone into it is obvious and would be appreciated by anyone aware of Artisan buildings. The location is ideal for a couple or adult friends or family with the location close to Muri beach but providing opportunities for exploration and different activities. (Having turtles swim under my kayak and spotting whales from the deck will be unforgettable). Susana and Robert and Robert Junior welcomed me and treated me like family ensuring that I had everything I needed and going out of their way to provide memorable experiences such as sharing family meals, giving me a special birthday (as I was on my own), providing fresh fish at times as well as herbs from the garden to cook with. I felt safe, protected and valued as a guest and the house was a beautiful environment to live in. My month with the family at Kaireva Beach House exceeded my expectations in every way and the bonus has been the friendship that has been forged between our families and the mutual respect, will be remembered and treasured. Meitaki and Aroha Fiona“.

“Susana and her family were so welcoming and helpful, we loved staying at their little slice of paradise! The house is beautiful and very comfortable. Well equipped with everything you need and lovely thoughtful touches like fresh fruit in the bowl and cold water in the fridge when you arrive. Very comfortable beds and lovely and clean. Susana welcomed us and was available to answer any questions we had. Pool and beach were beautiful and right on the doorstep, perfect for our 2 year old! We took our pram and the 15 minute walk into Muri was enjoyable, that little bit further We highly recommend this place and will be back to stay again soon!”

“Relaxing and comfortable getaway. When can I come back?
Having a full kitchen was great and gave us good independence. The indoor/outdoor flow was awesome – we could sit on the deck and enjoy the evenings. Being slightly away from the busier Muri beach suited us well. The hosts we SO welcoming and helpful – they really add to the enjoyment of the holiday.”

“Our stay at Kaireva beach house will be a forever fond memory for us.
Location was perfect and very ideal. We have a toddler at the time of our stay and the in-ground pool and easy access to the beach was of no concern to us at all.
I have nothing negative to say about our stay at this property. Susanna and Robert our hosts were so personable and friendly and by the end of the week they felt like family.”

“Both Susana and Robert are great and attentive hosts. They are warm and friendly people with excellent local advice. Place was quiet, private, and had a killer view from the large deck. We were so relaxed just sitting on the deck. Décor was excellent, beds were comfortable. Highly recommended, we hope to stay there again.”
