Our family of four with two teenagers had such a lovely and peaceful stay here in a 1 bedroom family suite. We woke up to sunrise views. Beach here is so quiet (no other visitors other than villa guests/ faces the windward side a bit rough to swim) yet only a 20min walk to Muri where you can find dining options. We arrived late into Rarotonga and the kind host Svein was there to greet us and fridge had milk/toast/cereal. Rooms were clean, beds were very comfortable.

We had a wonderful stay at The Passage Villas. The villa was beautifully presented, very clean, and extremely comfortable – it truly felt like a home away from home. The space was equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing and stress-free holiday. The location is fantastic, peaceful and private, yet still close to everything. Waking up each morning surrounded by such a tranquil atmosphere made our stay even more special. It is also the perfect spot to enjoy breathtaking sunrises – starting the day with such a beautiful view was truly unforgettable. We especially appreciated how quiet and relaxing the environment was, perfect for unwinding and enjoying quality time. Communication and the overall experience were smooth and easy from start to finish. We would happily stay here again!

A Dream!

Beautiful beach houses directly on the east coast of Rarotonga. Very clean. Comfortably furnished. The hosts fulfill all wishes, very attentive and helpful. We had a rental car and were anywhere on the island within 25 minutes. We can highly recommend Passage Villas. Thank you Michele and Svein for letting us be your guests.

What a place. Amazing experience. Swain was simply amazing. Rarotonga is the most beautiful location. Probably our favourite location to holiday, rest, and reconnect.

Pool was clean, safe and inviting. There were pool toys available and the poolside loungers were great. The room was clean, appropriately furnished and had great indoor- outdoor flow. The initial breakfast and local bananas and mango were a nice touch. Michelle and Svein were great hosts. They were friendly and helpful. When my wife had a fall at night they were able to provide a great first aid kit, support and advice on local health care options for which we were very grateful. Couldn’t recommend Passage Villas highly enough.

We loved staying at Passage Villas, very close to town and the owners were beautiful hosts. Stunning views on the beach. Would recommend getting a unit on the beach, however the family unit we were in was also comfortable. My 3yr old son loved it there. They also serviced the room everyday where we would spend the day out and return to a nice clean place with fresh towels. Amazing ❤️

What an experience. Spent 5 days relaxing, listening to the waves and watching the whales from our villa Michele & Svein are incredible hosts, felt like staying with family. They gave us lots of recommendations and let us in on a local secret involving pastries... Exactly what my girlfriend and I needed as we didn't plan anything and turned our phones off for the duration of the trip Highly recommend and will be staying there next time in Raro

Svien and Michelle were absolutely lovely, and have the property to match. The villas were well maintained and in a spectacular location right by the water. Would never get tired of waking up to that view. The room was very comfortable, and had both a fan and a heat pump for those hot days/nights. The hosts were very friendly and made some great recommendations of places to go and things to do. Could not recommend this place enough. They really had all the bases covered with a relaxing pool and even had a bar onsite for people to use. A

Michele and Svein were wonderful hosts, welcoming us after hours and setting us up for a lovely few nights' stay. Svien was always on hand to help in any way. The property isn't on a sandy beach; it is on a wild coastline, which was perfect for our kids - so no beach swimming, but the pool is large (one of the larger ones from our experience in Rarotonga). The room was good for a family. It is very old and tired, but they are in the process of renovating. The villas provide a good base to sleep and then go exploring the island for the day/s. The highlight of the stay was Svien picking a Coconut and opening it for the kids - they loved it!! Thank you

Lovely spot, great views and it felt very homely. The beach isn't swimmable really but we got to see whales at one point, and it was super close to swimmable Muri beach. The villa was tidied and refreshed each day and they gave us great advise for places to go to eat and activities. The only problem we had was the office was never attended and when I tried calling them I couldn't get through. Perhaps a doorbell would be helpful as I didn't want to go up to there house and disturb their privacy. Again, lovely hosts when they were available, they gave us snorkeling gear to borrow too. Highly recommend!

We would like to take the time to thank Michele and Svein for their hospitality and allowing us to spend such a magical time at the Passage Villas. We would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Rarotonga. Checkin was smooth, in fact, the owners were kind and flexible enough to let us know once the room was ready as we were on an early flight. The serenity and view the property gave was immaculate; you had the beautiful view all to yourself and surrounding was so quiet that we were truly able to relax and forget about our busy lives during our stay! The owners were also kind enough to let us know when a whale was passing by, it was amazing to be able to see this up close from your property! All of the recommendations Michele and Svein gave were excellent. Their communications were prompt and great (they even helped us out on something even when it was out of their office hours.) Our stay at Rarotonga was truly a rememberable one and no doubt deciding to stay at the Passage Villas was a huge contributor in this, thank you and see you again!

Unit was right at seafront, fantastic view of sea & reef. Hosts very friendly & helpful. Quiet & peaceful location. Covered veranda with sea view. Towels changed daily. Rubbish collected daily. Cereal & bread breakfast provided on first day, Good library on site. Wifi available, only around office & pool area. Unit could do with some maintenance - broken tiles in shower, bathroom cabinet amateurish. No hot plates, so limited to microwave for cooking. No cooking utensils for microwave. Only 1 set each of crockery & cutlery for 2 people, no extras. Needed to wash between uses. No rain cover for main door, so got wet when entering & leaving during rain. Need vehicle as shops, beach, restaurants not within walking distance. No beach access.

Stayed in the ocean view family villa. Villa was very clean, well furnished and well maintained -serviced daily. Pool is a great as beach is not sandy but is secluded. Great location - Turangi Eatery at the end of the driveway, Vili’s Burger Joint and small grocery store/petrol station just up the road. Short drive to Muri Night markets and the Muri lagoon.
