When we arrived, we had a free upgrade because our room was full.. Room was very nice.. Own bathroom & kitchen.. Only thing was FREEZING cold showers.. Hadnt read any other reviews on this, so...

I do not understand some of the other reviews that say this place is dirty and the management is unfriendly. Adrienne was absolutely brilliant. Our flight arrived 1.5 hours late but she waited for us. She checked us in then took us around town and showed us the best places to go and advised us of what to do, I... More

I had one of the poolside rooms for a few days. It had a great little kitchen, bathroom & shower, etc which were totally adequate for budget accommodation. Yes, there are roosters nearby and barking dogs in the distance, just like everywhere else in Raro. And yes, the Raro airport is about 1km away but the jets only interrupted my... More

The first part of our stay we booked a pool unit, which was really nice and huge. The own kitchen is a pro if you travel on a shoestring. The second part we stayed in the main house, which was not that cozy. The kitchen was o.k., but not that well assorted and clean than the one in the pool... More

We stayed 8 nights at one of the bungalows by the pool and had no trouble with any of the other guests staying in the bungalows. We ended up becoming quite good friends with them. Yes there are roosters which may crow at odd hours, but there are roosters all over the island. After the first night, my partner slept... More

Ok, so we spent two and a half months travelling in the Cooks, and this, by far, was the worst place we stayed. And we are not "sensetives"- we stay in budget places, happy on a matress on the floor if the hostess is nice. But Tiare Village... Here´s why you should stay away: Firstly for keeping your health in... More

Kia Orana It appears from your other reviews staying in Vietnam, Bondi , Tiare Village, Wellington Backpackers you seem to have encountered similar situations. I must say though your review for Tiare Village is not only untrue but borders on a “little dramatic” don’t ya think! And looking at your previous reviews I would be sceptical about those also. Maybe... More

We spent a month staying at Tiare whilst volunteering on Rarotonga. Adrienne was really friendly, approachable and helped us sort out a lot of activities with discounted prices. We stayed in the bus which was clean and spacious for the three of us, and came with mosquito nets in every bedroom! We also had access to the bbq, pool and... More

Bad service and bad quality of rooms. You are pretty much on your own there and seems that things are not working that well. But, if you are a backpacker and do not mind about filthy rooms, then just go for it, prices are ok. They have a lot of roosters around there that make a loud noise almost all... More

Kia Orana Matt You booked and stayed with us for 4 days. One should never pay to stay in filthy accommodations and advise others to do so and the prices are ok??? your message is confusing..

Having read the other great reviews for Tiare Village we opted to stay here for our first couple of nights in Rarotonga as it sounded nice and was conveniently near the airport. It speaks volumes that we ended up staying there for the remaining 9 nights too! The prices are really low compared to other places on the island but... More

Towards the end of my RTW trip, I was lucky enough to visit paradise and stay with Adrienne at Tiare Village. The week I spent here was definitely a highlight! After staying in budget accommodation all over the world, I can honestly say this was one of the best. I had no idea what to expect and didn't even think... More
