Shaped and sculpted by the passage of time, explore the unique sight of Black Rock. You'll be left wondering precisely how this natural marvel was formed.

This geological formation is on the to-do lists of many travelers to Arorangi. But Black Rock isn't the area's only drawcard. Aroa Beach, Cook Islands Library and Museum, and Cook Island Christian Church are some other worthwhile sights close by.

8.2/10 Very Good! (553 reviews)

Loved the fact we could have 3 connecting rooms, perfect for our family of 5. Clean rooms, aircon and fans. Beds super comfortable and a balcony on all rooms. It was a quiet property with the most amazing snorkelling spot. So many tropical fish and turtles. The marine guide was awesome too. Staff super friendly. Loved this place, we will be back.

8.6/10 Excellent! (1,005 reviews)

The property has a lot of rooms plus private accommodation that is part of the resort too. This results in the restaurant being overrun in the morning for breakfast. The pool is also really small considering the amount of people that can stay there. The grounds and rooms are really nice- clean and comfy, but the walls are not the most soundproof and with the amount of people coming and going we were woken up at least briefly each morning or night. Not the place for us, had more of a Bali/ Benidorm vibe. But lots of people go back- so it obviously appeals to some!
