    That we couldnt stay longer we loved everything about our facilities, the home and pool was exceptional

    The personal touch from Dorrise was excellent - she met us at the airport and took us to the house. The villa was easily accessible and home;ly - a true home away from home experience. Fruit and veges were available - it was handy to Super Bown and any other amenities we required. Not far from the beach and all the attractions.

    Mama Dor was at the airport when we arrived to greet and meet us. She guided us to the venue, which was so helpful and even helped us to transport our luggage. True manaakitanga!

    There is nothing not to like about Te Etu Villas! It's away from the hustle and bustle but not too far away. Aunty Dor was so accommodating and even offered us rides when needed before we got our rental. Our pool was cleaned daily and if there was any issues, they would have been sorted straight away. Lots of space so we weren't all in each others way and LOVE that there was aircon in every room. Defs recommend :)

    If you want a nice, peaceful holiday spot with your own private pool, this is the place to stay.

    We did not think there was anything that could have been better apart from advice above about best to have transport of some sort to explore the rest of the island.

    The location was fine if you like peace and quiet which we did. Having our own pool to relax in was fantastic and it was a beautiful pool and well maintained. The property was well set up for cooking at the property and for relaxing outside - well set up undercover area outside (dining and lounge furniture) for when it was hot. I would advise that having a car, motorbike or pushbike is best for this location to get into town or around the island but it was only 500 metres to a grocery store and about a kilometre to a coffee shop which made a nice walk

    Everything you will not be disappointed the host was very welcoming from the airport & both villas exceeded all expectations and the pictures don't do it justice I have been to cook isl 5 times and stayed somewhere different but if available on our dates of travel this will always be my 1st option especially with family and children as there were games inside to use as well as the pools we booked both villas which the middle gate opens up. We also had some fresh veges and sugar,coffee,tea and so much more throughout the house thank you again can't wait for our next visit doris Meitaki Maata

    The property is lovely and we’ll maintained. It is close to town and the Super Brown 24 hour store and only a 10 minute drive from Muri. All of the bedrooms have air conditioning, there’s a good kitchen and laundry and lovely pool area. Everything a family could ask for. Dor, who owns the property is lovely. You couldn’t ask for a better host.

    It was dangerous being so close to Superbrown Tupapa. We went in and nearly bought all the food in the shop lol.

    I can honestly say that this is the best Villa we have ever stayed at in Raro. It felt like home and Dorrise is the perfect host. The pool and air conditioning was amazing on those hot days. My wife and kids were so relaxed, it really made our holiday. We will definitely be staying again on our next trip over! Probably book both Villas too.

    Had everything we needed for the 7 nights stay. We had a great time at Te Etu villa 2 (Dor’s place). The communication was super easy and quick and the place looks exactly like it does on the pictures. The neighborhood is very conveniently located and very quiet! Dor was also flexible with check-out time, which was extremely helpful. I am a regular Airbnb traveler and “Dor” was the best host I’ve ever come across. she is very sweet and kind hearted, very helpful, and down to earth. She even met us at the airport and guided us to our accommodation. definitely went above and beyond our expectations. Would absolutely recommend to stay there!

    Hated having to return to NZ lol...

    Dor, was fantastic to communicate with. We moved from Villa 1 to Villa 2 and Dor accommodated us to move over with ease. What I did like is the story about Villa 2 being their family home. The rooms with super spacious, clean with aircon. open living space with a massive deck and the main bedroom doors that opened all the way which gave you the feel of being outside. The bathroom is a little smaller than Villa 1 but overall a brilliant home, recommend to family.
