Summersalt Raro - above the Lagoon

Welcome to Summeralt Raro. Our house, perched above a tropical postcard beach offers stunning views of the turquoise lagoon and the blue ocean beyond. We used the Covid-19 hiatus for an extensive rebuild with hardwood floors and cabinets throughout, a huge panoramic window giving you unparalleled views of the lagoon, the pacific ocean and the milky way at night from the enlarged bedroom.

Perfect location for exploring Rarotonga
A wonderful place to stay for our first trip to Rarotonga. Everything you could need is provided, easy check in & a very comfy bed. The views from the deck & beach are just breathtaking & we snorkelled straight from the beach. Great location from which to explore the whole island - would love to stay here again

Relaxing Rarotonga
Very responsive host. Very relaxing location right in the beach. Snorkeled almost every day right out in front of property. The deck is covered and uncovered so you can sit there even if raining or bright sun. Lower beach area has picnic table in shade and under cover as well. No AC but a fan with windows was fine most of the time a few humid nights. Pleasant stay and location is good.

Perfect
Summersalt/Ewa's Place couldn't have been more perfect for my partner and I. This was our first time in Rarotonga and we just loved it. Its was exactly as the photos and waking up to that view every morning was unbelievable! The house was clean and had everything we needed. Great communication before and during our stay and very helpful. Highly recommend and we will definitely stay there again.

Epic Location
This place ticks boxes. Awesome views from the generous balcony and from all rooms in the house. Great carport on the lower level useful for drying clothes and towels. Laundry downstairs is perfect for an extended stay. Foot wash and beach shower essential in keeping the sand out of the upstairs . A lack of pillows provided was annoying. The absence of large beach towels, frustrating. Bed mattress needs replacing. Only 4 coat hangers seemed a bit mean. Take entertainment as none is provided (videos, games, cards, jigsaws) if the day is raining and windy. Overall the house and location is superb. That view from anywhere in the house will stay with me for the rest of my life. It is epic. A few issues with the management of the property need adjustment to lift it into 5 star rating.
