PoatuOkoro

Hidden in Betela, a residential pocket of Arorangi on Rarotonga's west side, PoatuOkoro pairs a private entrance and full kitchen with mountain views behind and garden views out front — a self-catering base for travellers who'd rather cook local produce than eat out nightly.

The kitchenette runs to a full stovetop, oven, and dishwasher, while the sun deck and patio catch the late-afternoon light Arorangi is known for as the sun drops behind the reef.

Arorangi's west-coast road links directly to Rarotonga's lagoon swimming spots and the island's main ring road, keeping car-free days workable with parking on-site.
