Where would you like to stay?

You can find all of the high end 5 star resorts on other websites looking for larger commissions. Here, you'll only find the best of the cheapest accommodation in Rarotonga. It gives everyone the opportunity to visit this holiday paradise for less than half the cost. A lot of these are close to if not next door to high end places and the best beaches but without the high price per night.

The average price per night is $350+ in Rarotonga. While 5 star treatment is nice it's not always needed or practical. If you don't need to feel like royalty and being waited on, have breakfast served to you in the morning or have extra services like tour bookings at a front desk, you have the option of finding all you need in the accommodation we've listed at under half the cost.  

All accommodation listed here is under $200 per night. I've sourced the best of the most affordable properties, with an average price of $100 per night for single/couples and up to $200 per night for families. These are the best finds on the island which I can personally recommend myself. They're all perfect places to stay on a budget. Just choose your preferred location, amenities and price to get the best accommodation needs for your holiday. 

Rarotonga has it all. Catering to a wide range of tourists. Once you leave your accommodation, we all become one: mixing with other tourists, locals and the beautiful surrounds it has to offer. It's definitely not just about the place you're staying at, but simply being here on the Island, experiencing it the same way you would on a 5 star holiday. We're all free to roam like the free range island chickens here in Rarotonga. 

All accommodation listed below is less than $200 per night. Even cheaper if accommodation costs are shared.

Find your budget sleep and book 6-12 months in advance if possible as all properties book out fast in Rarotonga!

BE AWARE THAT COOK ISLANDS IS ALMOST A DAY BEHIND AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND.

KEEP THIS IN MIND WHEN BOOKING ACCOMMODATION TO AVOID ARRIVING WITH NOWHERE TO SLEEP. 

example:  IF DEPARTING AUS/NZ ON A MONDAY, YOU MAY NEED TO BOOK ACCOMMODATION ON ARRIVAL WHICH COULD BE THE NIGHT BEFORE (SUNDAY NIGHT).
