We had a great vila on the beach. What more can you ask for than waking up everyday to the sound of the ocean, eating your breakfast out on the deck.
They have a great selection of amenities including a pool, BBQ (which we used a lot), kitchen, decks loungers and so on.
Great friendly staff.

Stayed in Villa 6 - away from the usual tourist crowds, own private pool, own jacuzzi (able to be warmed to a lovely 37 degrees) which I took a dip in at night and gazed over the incredible star lit evening. Right on the beach, with a lovely decked area for eating breakfast or lunch :) Kayaks, snorkling gear and even boyancy vest all provided in the room charge. The villa had 2 bedroom areas each with our own bathroom, which made it lovely to enjoy our holiday but get our own space. The Internet was available without a problem, so i could keep in touch with the rest of the planet and the hosts were warm, friendly and incredibly helpful. What a lovely experience, something I would definitely repeat, with friends, family a loved one, or just on my own ... I left feeling well looked after, warmed and completely relaxed - what a destination!

Room tip: Choose Rooms 6 or 7 as the most private Villas, or no. 4 in the main accommodation area. All right on the beach & absolute paradise!

My wife and I visited Rumours for our anniversary and had the experience of a lifetime. Belinda and Andrew are not only experts in the field of hospitality with a proven track record, but they are two of the friendliest people we have ever met when traveling. The entire team ensures that your stay is impeccable and unforgettable.

The attention to detail at this property is just one of the many assets that make it unique and a top of the line resort. The privacy is unprecedented and yet you feel so comfortable and can engage with others as frequently or as little as you please.

Our room was perfect with an amazing pool and view of the beach. We stayed 5 days and loved every minute. Our departure flight was cancelled and who else but Belinda and Andrew were literally waiting at the airport to return us back to the villa for an extra night. They amazingly found a way to fit us in on zero notice and actually did all the leg work for our flights as we were on another island for a day trip when our return was cancelled. Having been fortunate enough to travel to around 30 countries, I must admit that this was the experience of a lifetime. The entire trip, resort, dining experiences and team at Rumours allowed my wife and I to feel right at home. We typically do not visit many places more that once but I can assure you this will be one of them!!! I can't say enough in terms of the visit to the Cook Islnads and Rumours. Thank you Belinda and Andrew for a trip to never be forgotten. We will see you soon!!!

All the best,

As we checked out, my husband and I were reviewing our schedules to see when we could return. This is the best review possible.
The staff is accommodating and personable. Reservations for dining, car rental etc. were taken care of immediately.The villa was outstanding! We were right on the beach with an amazing view. The villa was equipped with washer/dryer, dish washer and every amenity that we would need for a comfortable stay. If we chose to cook, there is a barbecue. The breakfast that is brought in every morning is easy to prepare.
We enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning.

Not sure where to start, so off the bet Belinda and Andrew are simply the best.

They fitted us in seamlessly when we decided to stay on island 2 more days, and could not have been more lovely.

Service above and beyond, got staff in to get our room ready on a Sunday, helped with TV on their day off, organized wine when we ran out, booked dinner, and much more. They are very experienced at this, and it shows. Lovely, very friendly and also funny, and everything just works. A pleasure to watch experts in action.

We stayed in Villa 1, back from beach but better for it. Total peace, privacy, luxury in every way. The villa simply awesome, the touches fantastic; Real coffee maker, huge welcome basket with bubbles, personalized letters, fabulous beds, epic shower, private pool with waterfall. Etc etc. my wife and I tried to think of anything we'd improve and failed. It is simply perfect.

We have stayed in many luxury resorts in the Pacific Islands, this was far and away the best. We will be back here many times, and I really hope they are still here. They make a fabulous place the best there is on the island, by far, and far beyond.

To top it all off, our flight left 3 hours after checkout, and they told to leave bags, and theory driver would come get us at 2, with our bags, and whisk is to to airport. Sublime.

Thank you Andrew and Belinda. See you again soon

Kia Orana lovely people!

We have worked for many years managing 5 star resorts around the South Pacific and believe we have found THE BEST ISLAND right here in the Cook Islands - so much so; we bought the business. So we guarantee as the management owners of Rumours Luxury Villas and Spa we are not going anywhere; as a small team it is us that answers your emails and phone calls, processes your booking, prepares your Villa and personally greets you when you next decide to visit our shores.

We are truly proud of what we do; we are proud of our small team and LOVE looking after our guests. We thank you both for choosing to stay with us; for taking the time to write such a FABULOUS review and for being fantastic guests. We look forward to seeing you both again soon

All the best and once again Meitaki Ma'ata from all of us here at Rumours

Belinda & Andrew
