This villa is located in Tupapa near town and is a close drive to Muri beach on the southern district. This beautiful villa offers an exclusively private stay while having the convenience of accessing many amenities in our little paradise. This two bedroom villa is self contained and the kitchen has a microwave, fridge and a barbeque set. All other facilities include washing machine, TV and bed linen. Enjoy the main feature of the villa which is a large swimming pool in front of your doorstep, either throughout the day or after a day of exploring Rarotonga. Te Etu Villa is perfect for couples or a small family looking for a private getaway. It is located in the quiet back road of Tupapa with walking distance to the Super Brown store, bus stop and many plantations around the area.
Kia Orana! My name is Dorisse Tschan and I warmly welcome you to my property. My mum is from the island of Aitutaki and my dad from Switzerland. I was born and raised in Rarotonga and I look forward to sharing with you my humble and beautiful home island. I've been in the tourism industry for many years and getting to operate my own villas is a dream come true for me. I really enjoy meeting people from all walks in life as I am a social butterfly. My interests are Cook Islands dancing & culture, reading and socialising with my friends and family. After running a day care for 5 years and having children of my own, I also love to spend time with them. My culture and heritage is very important to me and I'm passionate about our Cook Islands language and keeping our customs and traditions. I look forward to looking after you while you're in Rarotonga and more than happy to help make your stay a memorable one.
The property is located in a safe neighbourhood that is surrounded by plantations. There are many eateries and activities near this area that you will enjoy.
