This was our second visit to the Cook Islands (last time 5 years ago). This visit was even better than expected. We chose Ambala Gardens from reading the great reviews it received. They were accurate on their rating. What a great experience! What phenomenal people Nancy and Esa are! We were treated like family almost immediately, comfortable there from the... more

I picked Ambala based on TripAdvisor reviews and there's not much I can add except to say that all the good stuff is true! Nancy's breakfasts are fantastic. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed. The location is great - Muri beach is definitely one of the best on the island. I definitely plan on coming back! more

We stayed with Nancy and Esa for a delightful and relaxing week in February '09. It was truly enjoyable. Their B&B is located in the middle of a generous and beautiful garden of tropical delights. We picked breadfruit, avocado and papaya which appeared on the menu the next morning as part of a sumptuous breakfast prepared each day by Nancy.... more

A friendly welcome from Nancy & Esa after a long haul flight was very much appreciated; they made you feel at home immediately. The Ambala Lodge is a great place to relax. The well kept swimming pool, an essential requirement if you are holidaying in Rarotonga, is beautifully positioned in a tropical garden. I would recommend the poolside appartment; spacious... more

If Muri Beach (just a short walk down the road) is THE best beach on Raro, then AMBALA GARDENS is THE best accommodation property on the island. Our 2 week visit was absolutely the most relaxing, enjoyable vacation we've experienced -- in a large part, to Esa and Nancy - the incredible hosts of the Ambala Gardens. From the property's... more

It's hard to add much to the accolades already here, except to say that we only had three nights with Nancy and Esa and regretted the short stay (needless to say we're planning to return!). Our hosts were both solicitous of our comfort and relaxed raconteurs, and Nancy's cooking featuring fresh Island produce is attractive and tasty. Lots of good... more

We have been on a Worldtrip and we stood at Ambala Garden for 2 weeks. We had a great time and found new friends. The location is situated in a peaceful wonderful green garden with views to the ocean. It is only a 2 Minute walk to the beach. The appartments (we lived in the Frangipani Suite) are big and... more

For 19 days in January and February 2009, my wife and I were guests at Ambala Gardens Lodge located in the Muri Beach area. Tucked away off the main highway about .5km yet within walking distance of the beach and Muri Beach, this bed and breakfast offers a quite retreat from the main tourist areas on the Island. The owners... more

We stayed for 6 nights in what should have been great accommodation. Having read Trip Advisor reviews, we were anticipating a great holiday. Yes, we agree that Nancy & Esa are very friendly hosts, and Nancy's breakfasts are indeed very tasty and varied. The location is good, the garden delightful, and lovely beaches are within walking distance. But we were... more

We stayed with Esa and Nancy at the Ambala Garden Lodge for 4 weeks in June 2008. It was our honeymoon (from the UK) and we had the most amazing time in Rarotonga. Esa and Nancy were great hosts! During our time on Rarotonga they made us like we had a home from home. From the airport pick up /... more
