Rarotonga GolfSeaView — Hotel in Avarua

AVOID!

Not in a convenient location. Lots of hills that you have to walk with luggage. Airport transfers are $25 per person. No free shuttles. Then they try to rip you off by charging you $20 per night to use the Aircon when it is included in your stay.

Location is directly opposite black rock beach which is a popular site on the island, but the beach is not as good as muri if you are looking for white sand. You will...

Rarotonga GolfSeaView was a good spot to stay. We just spent 1 night while waiting for our flight home early the next day. Rooms were clean and well equipped. It was nice to be able to walk down to Black Rock. It was close to the airport so was an easy transfer in the morning via Tiare Transport. It was also just down the road from Antipodes Restaurant, where we had booked in for a great dinner. Other rooms seemed to be occupied by families and groups which these units would be suited to. Would need a car if you wanted to explore further afield. A good choice for those that want to self-cater and don’t want to pay...
