The Passage Villas

The property was so clean & neat I had the best stay. Great location best sunrises and amazing night skies. Michele and Sven very friendly and helpful to get the most out of your stay. Dominique

What a cool place to stay. This resort is private and there are only 8 villas. A private beach that is only able to be accessed by those staying makes it that bit extra special. Villas are all self contained. No restaurant on site but there are cafes and restaurants on the roadside nearby. The markets are 2km away, everything is close. Michelle and Svein have a really neat place in paradise and living on site, they are able to help out with advice, tips, and ideas. We had one of the front villas and were very close to the water. On Sunday we visited the bar for happy hour, it is very cool and what a great location. Looking forward to coming back to stay again.

Michele and Svein were wonderful hosts, welcoming us after hours and setting us up for a lovely few nights' stay. Svien was always on hand to help in any way. The property isn't on a sandy beach; it is on a wild coastline, which was perfect for our kids - so no beach swimming, but the pool is large (one of the larger ones from our experience in Rarotonga). The room was good for a family. It is very old and tired, but they are in the process of renovating. The villas provide a good base to sleep and then go exploring the island for the day/s. The highlight of the stay was Svien picking a Coconut and opening it for the kids - they loved it!! Thank you

A Gift What a place. Amazing experience. Swain was simply amazing. Rarotonga is the most beautiful location. Probably our favourite location to holiday, rest, and reconnect.

We loved staying at Passage Villas, very close to town and the owners were beautiful hosts. Stunning views on the beach. Would recommend getting a unit on the beach, however the family unit we were in was also comfortable. My 3yr old son loved it there. They also serviced the room everyday where we would spend the day out and return to a nice clean place with fresh towels. Amazing ❤️

Small individual villas looking directly out to the sea. There are a small number of villas positioned in a way that there is plenty of privacy while also having perfect views out to the ocean. One room with a bed and couch, a small kitchen attached with a bathroom off to one side. Each villa has a covered deck so that even when it rains you can just relax and look at the view. The home made bar provieds a perfect place for guests to mix and mingle if desired. Fantastic sun rises with a perfect little seating area right on the water, I spent many hours just sitting and watching the water and fish from this spot. Appatently whales can be seen passing through just off of the beach at the right time of year. The owners were great, pointing out local spots and even inviting us along to a local dance competition and fishing weigh in. These were local events we never would have realised were on and were a fantastic addition to our visit to Rarotonga. Also great advice on local places to eat. The location is walking distance to the lagoon cruises and the night market but I suggest getting a car or scooter to see the whole island. We found that "just up the road" was always just past walking distance. On site there is a beautiful pool surrounded by tropical vegetation if you don't want to leave the property for a swim and there are plenty of great snorkeling places nearby. Due to the small number of villas it is a perfect little couples retreat or for a larger family group to have a place all for themselves.
