Beautiful private home close to stunning lagoon

Kavera Beach house is across the road from the beautiful white sands of Kavera beach and lagoon. There is direct access to the beach which is less than 50 metres away, with shops, transport and tourist attractions all within a short walking distance.
The property itself is set on a flat quarter acre site, and is fully fenced for privacy, providing a secure sanctuary to enjoy holiday living in a relaxed setting among the tropical gardens.
The house has a covered verandah, which has comfortable lounges, a barbeque and outdoor dining area, providing the best of indoor outdoor flow for island living. It has a well-equipped cook’s kitchen, food processor, blender and Ninja bullet. The large laundry has a washing machine and dryer. Wifi is available, and there is a Smart TV, Blu Ray DVD, and blue tooth speaker system. The house has been set up specifically for holiday living.
Kavera District is within the village of Arorangi, on the favoured western side of the island, which is sheltered from the prevailing trade winds, and enjoys the magnificent tropical sunsets over the lagoon.
Kavera beach provides safe swimming for adults and children and is private and secluded, ideal for lazing on the beach and exploring the lagoon.
Within a short walk is the Aroa Marine Reserve, which provides some of the best lagoon snorkelling in Rarotonga, and is safe for both adults and children. Snorkelling gear and Kayaks are available for hire at the dive shop located at the local shops which are less than 100 metres away, and also include a general store and petrol, takeaways, a craft and produce market and bus stop.
There are a variety of restaurants and cafes within close proximity including the Cocoputt Alehouse and Waterline, who both have live music, and the Shipwreck Bar is a short stroll along the beach.
The property has direct access to a local inland lane, which winds its way through the taro and other plantations and eventually up towards the mountainous interior.

Well supplied home in a beautiful location
We absolutely loved our stay here and can't wait to come back again one day. The house was so well stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. There were plenty of towels and bedding, an amazing selection of dishes and equipment in the kitchen, and all the extras (fans, mosquito coils, additional outside shower, ample fresh drinking water, washer and dryer) to make our stay comfortable. The house manager was friendly and very helpful. We all felt so at home!

Well equipped house in private setting.
. We were 3 friends and had a bedroom each. We particularly enjoyed the garden and verandah area. Loved the outdoor shower after we came back from the lagoon. We had a car which was very handy for visiting further away parts of the island but bus stopped close by if needed. Would stay again if/when we return to Raro.

Lovely property in super location. Handy to beach, convenience store, several good eating places. We had a car but if you did not you can easily walk to several places. House was clean and well appointed. Property manager, Fiona was attentive, friendly and so helpful. We were lucky to meet the owner Cristine who was as welcoming. Loved our stay, we will be returning next year

Great location and accomodation
We enjoyed a lovely week at Kavera Beach house. A really comfortable stay, with all the amenities that you need in a great location. 1 min walk to a lovely beach good for swimming. Easy access to the shops down the road, and Shipwreck Bar just a short stroll for cocktails on the beach. A lovely stay and would definitely be back.

Home away from home
Such a comfy clean home. It was great to have everything we needed, with washing machine and drier included. A very secure yard with lock gate and the fly screens on all the windows. We were pleased to have the esentials available to us like tea, coffee and sugar to get us started. It was truely like our home away from home! Just a minutes walk across the road to a beautiful lagoon which we thoroughly enjoyed each day. Plus the very convenient store/cafe also only a minutes walk away. Also our property manager, Fiona,was extremely helpful and very kind to keep in touch to see how we were going during our stay. A really nice part of the Island to stay at. We would definately stay here again. Thank you.

Spacious, beach right across the road
The property had everything we needed and everyone got a bedroom. The beach right over the road was beautiful and snorkelling was great. Very safe for our 3 and 7 year olds. We got to see some amazing sunsets too. The high, fully fenced section kept our kids safe from the road and the private garden was great for them to play in. Shop just a few minutes walk down the road. I would recommend earplugs if you are a light sleeper as the dogs and roosters can be quite loud through the night. Would recommend this property and would love to stay again someday.

Great location with almost beach view. Private tropical gardens. Outdoor covered area utilized every day. Best kitchen with everything you could need. Comfy beds & great laundry. Maybe bathroom could do with some love & new blinds in master but would MOST definitely stay again. Best stocked mini mart 50mtrs away. Sad to leave. Our kids knew your kids we think from school so such a small world really. Thanks for sharing your piece of paradise. Meitaki

Island time
Myself and two friends truly loved our stay at the property. It had everything we needed inc. a nespresso machine (I've already recommended it to my parents due to this). Fiona was really knowledgeable and just generally a beautiful person. I've not stayed on the western side of the island before and I really enjoyed it, there's some great snorkeling spots just outside the Dive Centre.
