What our guest say

This place is a little gem... The rooms are spotless, possibly the best Ive seen for the standard of accommodation. It’s no children policy means peace and quiet, and we met another two couples who commented on this...

- Reg, Auckland, New Zealand (TripAdvisor.com)

We just wanted to thank everyone at Sunhaven for making our 25th anniversary truly memorable. You have a fabulous place and we had a great time. We look forward to our next visit to Rarotonga and will definitely stay at Sunhaven.

(Jim and Kathleen have returned every year since their first visit in 2001)

- Jim and Kathleen Emory, Washington, USA

The bungalow was wonderful, spacious and with everything we needed. Sunhaven is a very relaxed, beautiful place to stay. We would definitely recommend you to friends. You have been very helpful with any enquiries we had during our stay.

- Caleb and Crystal Stephen, Canada

We have had a fantastic, relaxing, enjoyable stay. Sunhaven is a paradise spot. A week goes too fast when you're having fun.

- John and Judy Broersma, Tauranga, New Zealand

We checked other resorts on the west coast whilst staying here and this is the best by far. The nicest resort we have stayed at anywhere.

- Kevin and Michelle Lever, NSW, Australia

It was such a pleasure to stay here once again, you think of everything. Sunhaven is a special place in my world. Your beach is so wonderful, except those hermit crabs take all the shells.

- Sue Boies, Hawaii

Superb accommodation, fabulous location, lovely hosts and staff.

- John and Faye Reid, Nelson, New Zealand

Congratulations to Patti, Dennis and staff on your piece of paradise. You couldn't have made us feel any more welcome. As regular visitors to the Cook Islands we will be back! Only wish we had found you a few years ago!

- Mike and Kaye Delderfield, Ruakaka, New Zealand

What can we say? You are wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. A1! We will be telling our friends and family: 'Go to Sunhaven'. Thank you so much.

- Clive and Dale Cook, Westport, New Zealand

Excellent accommodation and a stunning location to watch the breakers, whales and sunsets. How more romantic could this be on our honeymoon? Thanks too for the good wishes and the bubbly. The personal touch was greatly appreciated.

- Campbell and Alison Evans, Edinburgh, Scotland

We are travelling round the world and have stayed at many places during and before our trip. We have never stayed anywhere that turns out to be better than expected or described but Sunhaven is. It is idyllic! Thank you all for making our stay so memorable. We hope to visit you again and send all our friends.

- Derek and Maureen, Bloxwich Walsall, England

Thanks to Patti and Dennis for a wonderfully relaxed holiday. Our Bungalow was fantastic and the cleanest place I have ever stayed in. The daily cleaning and the little flowers left each day was a real treat. Dennis was fantastic in giving us advice on restaurants and activities to do. He did not hesitate to contact the tours and book us in. I came home so relaxed that we have decided that we will be returning again next year and have already told all our friends and family that Sunhaven is the place to stay. I am looking forward to 2010 when we will be celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary and having a fantastic holiday at Sunhaven again.

- Annie, New Zealand (TripAdvisor.com)

We stayed here for one week and I wish it had been longer… It was a real pleasure staying somewhere that was serviced every day and was spotlessly clean. Sunhaven Beach Bungalows are in a great location and have everything you could need. Fantastic if you are like us and want to stay somewhere quieter and not in a big flashy resort with lots of people around. Would definitely recommend it.

Facilities and Services

100% safe drinking tap water (UV sterilized – NO chemicals)

Feel confident drinking our tap water as it is multi filtered and Ultra Violet sterilized and exceeds the highest international requirements for 100% safe drinking water.

Fresh fruit and breakfast basket on arrival

You might arrive during the night before you’ve had time to shop for food provisions so we provide a breakfast arrival pack for your first morning consisting of fresh tropical fruit, cereals, bread, jam & butter and a jug of milk so you won’t go hungry first thing in the morning.

Daily room service (except Sundays & some public holidays)

Your room is serviced daily to keep it clean for your comfort. Room service consists of the bed made (sheets changed every other day), towels changed, bathroom, kitchen and floor cleaned. Rubbish removed. Note: washing dishes is not included in room service.

Daily fresh cut tropical flowers

So that your room looks nice and has a lovely tropical scent we give you fresh cut flowers daily. Some people are allergic to pollen so if you are one of them, let us know and we won’t give you any.

Kayaks

Complimentary kayaks are available for guests to use. These are a fun way to explore the wonders of the lagoon but must not be taken too close to the breakers or over the reef. As with any water sport, caution and common sense must prevail as the sea can be dangerous with strong wind and currents some times.

Complimentary snorkelling gear

There is an abundance of tropical fish in our lagoon and the best way to see them is to go snorkelling. We provide complimentary snorkels, masks and fins for you to use.

Sun loungers

A great way to lie in the sun, read a book while getting that great tan you’ve been dreaming of at the same time.

Pool loungers

This is the ultimate way to soak up some sun. It’s a floating chair that you sit on in the pool and feel the cool water lapping your body while you read a book or just close your eyes and think how lucky you are to be here.

Hammocks

When you’ve had enough sun for the day and it’s time for a snooze in the shade, one of our tree strung hammocks is exactly what you will need. Or simply lay back and watch the waves roll across the lagoon and lap the shore.

Pool side BBQ

Under the palms beside the pool you’ll find our guest BBQ area. This is an ideal place to meet other guests while grilling a rib eye steak or freshly caught tuna for dinner or lunch. When done you can either sit at the BBQ table under the umbrella for a beachside BBQ experience or just take your plate back to the privacy of your room.

Reef Shoes

Exploring the reef at low tide is a great way to spend a few hours. It is recommended you wear shoes in the event you stand on something sharp. We provide complimentary reef shoes.

Hair dryer

After a day in the sun and water you might be in need of a hair dryer before going out for the evening. There is one in the room.

Tea and coffee provisions and facilities

We know you can’t go without your cup of coffee or tea first thing in the morning so we provide a coffee plunger, coffee, tea & sugar provisions to get you started for the day.

Wifi hot-spot

You might be on holiday on a remote south pacific island but the reality is you still need to stay in touch with family, friends or business back home in the real world. Wifi is available in all rooms and anywhere on the property including the beachfront and pool area. Unfortunately as the island only has expensive and limited satellite internet it’s not free. Data vouchers can be purchased at reception.

In-room large laptop capable safe

For your electronic devices and other valuables there are large laptop capable safes in all our rooms.
