Official Description (provided by the hotel):: The Cooks Oasis Holiday Villas are located in Arorangi, Rarotonga. We have 8 self catering villas nestled within tropical gardens. Enjoy our fresh water cool-off pool and other great complimentary facilities including snorkelling gear, sun lounges, kayaks and beach towels. We are on the western, sunny and sheltered side of the island where you can watch the fantastic sunsets. The Arorangi district is only 15 minutes to the main Township of Avarua and 10 minutes to the airport. Take less than a minute stroll down the path to the white sand beach and beautiful lagoon. Perfect for sunbathing, relaxing, and watching the whales cruise by (in winter). For some family fun try out our kayaks, or go snorkeling and view the tropical fish. Self-cater or enjoy eating out at one of 6 restaurants in easy walking distance. Our secluded property with its comfortable and stylish pacific rooms combined with our excellent location on the island and excellent service really are a winning combination. We pride ourselves on running a “boutique” look, feel, and service property without the high-end expense. We are family owner operators. Our main focus is to ensure our guests have a great stay at The Cooks Oasis Holiday Villas and enjoy their time in Rarotonga. ... more less

Great hosts! We get a very warm welcome in this family hotel, and there was always someone available to give us useful tips for our stay in Rarotonga. The bungalows were roomy and cosy, and our young kid enjoyed a lot the little swimming pool. Beach was fantastic, mainly in the morning (as far as you re lucky enough to... More

I stayed at the Cooks Oasis with my 4-year-old daughter. We both had a fantastic time: she loved the dip pool, games room and the short walk to a beautiful beach.

“Lovely stay at Cook's Oasis”

Reviewed April 17, 2013

We stayeed here for 4 nights on our way back to the USA from New Zealand. The room was comfortable, the staff was exceedingly friendly and helpful, and the ambience was very pleasant. The only drawback was that it was very hot while we were there, and we might have been more comfortable had we chosen the air conditioning option.

Kia Orana John F, Many thanks for kindly placing feedback on Trip Advisor for The Cooks Oasis Holiday Villas. We are delighted that you enjoyed your 4 night stopover with us and hope to see you the next time you venture down south again to the Cook Islands. Kind regards, Christine Johnson More

We chose to stop over for a week on our way from the UK to NZ. This gave us a chance to recharge from the UK winter. We had a one bedroom with a king size bed, shower in the bathroom and adequate kitchen for self catering and fans to cool the room - overall the room was very comfortable.... More
