Two of the dorms are actually on the beachfront, meaning that you can actually see the sea from our big patio window. Just as good as all the 5 star hotels next door. Location is fab and good atmosphere.

Definately get beachside accomodation. Clean and friendly. Only bad things are no pool (but right on the beach!) and no lockers or room keys so anyone can just walk in.

Location, no bunks in the dorms
11 March 2007
The beachside rooms have a great location but the hillside rooms are a bit of a trek. This place has prime position on Muri beach, but i would recomend a stay at Rarotonga Backpakers as the accomodation was much better.

The sun deck over looking the beach, all the staff were really friendly

Free pick-up from airport. Great location on Rarotonga's best beach - only a few steps from our studio, which was self contained and had a fab balcony with ocean views. Really laidback atmosphere. Impossible not to relax! Also, Vara's is on the main island bus-route, and has a bus stop for the clockwise and anticlockwise service right at the end of the drive. Handy shops and restaurants within walking distance also.
