Pacific Time Holiday House - 4.5 out of 5 based on 3 ratings. 2 guest reviews.
Pacific Time Holiday House - Reviewed by Wendy from New Zealand in January 2012.
Sorry, we been up at our holiday house in Taupo.When we arrived at the house our transfer people had to go back to office to get keys for house. The lawns and hedges were being trimed, your neighbours down the drive complained about the mess on the drive side I called Barry and he promptly turned up to remove hedge mess. It did take a few more days for grass cuttings to be removed. Dishes we used had not been cleaned properly. Minor issues, we would use your property again( hopefully January 2013) and I would recommend to friends and family.

Owners response to this comment:
Your feedback is most appreciated, and we are following up on the key and dishes issues with the people concerned - the timing of the yard maintenance was unfortunate and should not have happened but I'm glad it was resolved quickly. We're glad you enjoyed your stay and plan to return! Kia Manuia!

The Perfect Holiday Destination
New on the Rarotonga holiday accommodation market, Pacific Time Holiday House ticks all the boxes for people wanting to avoid the hotels and resorts and stay in their own private tropical house with all the comforts of home. The Kiwi owners have furnished and equipped the house with all you need for a great home-away-from-home holiday, based on their own years of visiting the Cooks and their understanding of what is important to most people seeking that memorable getaway visit : quality beds, modern bathroom and kitchen, pleasant relaxing areas inside and outside, and a good location… nice surroundings and interesting places to eat and drink at within an easy walk – if this sounds like you, look no further, we have it all right here!

What's It Like Inside?
The house itself is only a few years old and modern in style with high vaulted ceilings, open design with spacious living area – large kitchen with large benches, breakfast bar and tons of cupboard space; open to dining and living-room opening via double glass doors to generous front lanai (verandah) with outdoor furniture (we have most meals out there). A similar back lanai facing west offers an alternative area to enjoy the tropical outdoors, with BBQ and more seating. A large tiled bathroom has a huge step-down tiled shower; two good-sized double bedrooms each have brand new split-king beds – each room making into a super king or two singles. Ceiling fans and insect screens throughout the house plus the breezy open design ensure a comfortable environment in all seasons.
The kitchen has a full gas stove (electric oven), microwave, toaster, kettle, plus extra appliances such as sandwich-maker, full frig with freezer, well equipped with cookware and tableware. All linens supplied – quality bed sheets and covers, bath towels and beach towels, washing-machine for your use; tropical cane furniture throughout.

Outside the Property and Close By
Outside, the house sits in its own large garden with a big flat lawn and ringed by various fruit and flowering trees – pawpaw, breadfruit, banana, mango, passionfruit, lychee, tiare, hibiscus and others. The immediate location offers loads to see and do – very close by is an internet café, bus stop, car and bike hire and a small group of shops with convenience store, takeway, post etc. Within easy walking distance are several restaurants, beach bars, dive shops, fast food, churches, resorts with restaurants and pools, beauty spas etc. The beach is a 100 metre walk, and the lagoon is good for swimming in the sandy patches that abound, or snorkeling over the coral heads at most tides - waist deep wallowing is still possible at dead low tide.

Local Amenities and Raro Recommendations
Pacific Time enjoys the benefit of a local manager whose experience of living in Raro for 20 years (several of which owning and running a small resort) equips him well to offer loads of information about what to see and do to enhance your holiday, and any trouble-shooting that might be needed. You receive the traditional tuatau (orientation) soon after your arrival and this is an informal and friendly way to introduce you to the varied experiences of Rarotonga this is a good time to bring up any special requests or questions you may have.
We have some special favourites, most of which are close enough to walk and forget the bike or car … some of these are Waterline Restaurant and Beach Bar (small and intimate, loads of ambience, outdoor sunset dining overlooking the beach, and live music on Wednesday nights) … Manuia Beach restaurant and bar for lazy lunches or drinks enjoying their gorgeous infinity pool …yummy fresh hamburgers from Roadhouse/bar … Tumunu Restaurant for the real-deal Raro experience… (all these within 5 to 10 minutes walk) and further afield: Highland Paradise for a spellbinding cultural tour, island-style feast and dance performance, transfers from house included … Trader Jacks near the harbour in Avarua for stunning views, cold beers and ike mata (Polynesian raw fish) … boutique shopping near Banana Court in town for amazing finds …. excellent coffee and brunch at Café Salsa in town…hanging out at Sails at Muri Beach to eat, drink, watch the sailing club in action in beautiful Muri lagoon… delicious fusion food from a sophisticated menu at Flame Tree restaurant in gorgeous tropical surroundings …. and so many more highlights too numerous to list.
