Rarotonga Backpackers

Rarotonga


A west-coast beachfront site offers everything from dorms to fully self-contained suites. There's a pretty central pool, and self-contained units with private verandahs and fabulous views. Around 600m away there are new and good-value garden bungalows, and for families or groups there's the option of another new beach house and absolute beachfront units along Raro's northern coast.
