We loved our time at the Cooks Oasis! The property and amenities are as good as they look on their website, and the owners - Roselle and Eric, are more hospitable than you can imagine! The personal touches offered to you at the Cooks would be lost at most resorts - including the inital complementary chilled bottle of filtered water... More

If you're looking for a good value with cleanliness, loveliness, and friendly hosts, this is the place. Not directly on the beach, but just a short walk down the path is a good snorkeling spot and just what you'd expect in sand and surf The Johnsons couldn't be nicer and were very attentive to our needs. They arranged transport, scooter... More

This was the first instance of the owners' friendly and helpful service. Roselle was great with arranging transport or activity bookings. When we visited they were running a special so we got...

Even though we only stayed here at The Cooks Oasis for two days, the small package of a self contained room offered simplicity in paradise. This Oasis is only meters up from the beach, an easy stroll to restaurants and has a very conveniently located liqour store right across the road which makes it easy to top up on mixes... More

For our second visit to Rarotonga we were looking for smaller, more intimate accommodation than the larger resort we stayed at last time. Cooks Oasis ticks all the boxes - it is really relaxed and has everything you would want - even a liquor store right across the road! Eric and Roselle are very friendly and interested in what you...

We sincerely recommend The Cooks Oasis as a place to stay. The villas are nicely arranged and clean, with verandas - a great place to have a meal. Near the Oasis is the best spot for snorkeling, observing colorful underwater life, kayaking or just taking a walk. Equipments, reef shoes and kayaks are available for free. The hosts, Eric and...

The Cook Oasis was an excllent place to stay. The units are immaculate, good beds. Good size rooms. Eric and Roselle are excellent hosts, they go out of their way to make sure everything is o.k. They will arrange tours and transport. There are good restaurants nearby, and there is a very good room for children with plenty of games,... More
