Moana Sunset Studio, Sunset Central
Situated in the village of Arorangi on Rarotonga's western coastline, this studio enjoys the late afternoon sun and tropical sunsets we are more accustomed to reading about between the pages of a seven seas romance or adventure novel. The studio has a king-sized bed that splits into two singles perhaps for two friends to share. It has a well equipped kitchen and barbecue on the veranda. The open plan living area also has a TV and CD player to help entertain you on your holiday. The Bus stops at the entrance to the property with a shop for basic supplies a short walk away. The beach is sandy, and seems always deserted, swimming and snorkeling is best at high tide. On the same property is Moana Sunset Beach Villa its two bedroomed sister, privacy is maintained by a dividing wall.
The Moana Sunset offers excellent bang for buck. Special conditions: Smoking allowed outside only
There is wifi at the house, in order to activated it you need to buy a wifi card from any shop showing the telecom “e” sign, or buy a “data pack” online using a credit card.

Perfect Beachside Bungalow
We loved our stay at Moana Sunset, right on the beach, private and convenient - wonderful! The studio is not new but is very well priced and equipped with everything you could possibly need - it would have been very easy to grab a few bags of groceries and simply stay put and enjoy!
Tons of covered outdoor space - we had a lot of rain but it was still lovely to sit under cover and read or watch the tide on the reef. We easily found nice places to swim out the front of the bungalow or watch the little fish on the coral, lots of fun!
There are several restaurants very close by, a couple that are just a few hundred metres walk down the beach and best of all, an ice cream shop two doors from the front gate!
Thank you Eddie for checking to see if all was well - it was indeed!

Relaxing
Beautiful views and surroundings. Lovely deck out front and we spent lots of time there just looking at the view and relaxing. It was great that we could could our own meals on the BBQ. The bach had everything we could need. Highly recommended.

Right on the beach
We loved our stay at Moana Sunset, unfortunately we didn't have the right weather to enjoy the beautiful sunsets but no matter! The beach is literally on your doorstep, and it feels very private. It's a quiet area, which is a nice change from the bustling resorts nearby. The space is roomy enough for 2, with a large deck outside to drink a cocktail on and enjoy the view. Would highly recommend you stay here!

Everything you need for a week on the beach. Pack light - there's a washer! Nice BBQ. Wake up with the chickens and make friends with the beach dogs.
