About Owner/Property Manager

The house was built in 1972 as a family house for our family, we lived and enjoyed living there until we all grew up a left home, the house became to big for my parents so they moved into a smaller house and it was then rented out long term. I spent 12 years in Australia and decided to return back to the Cook Islands in 2007 ~ I then decided to run the house as a short term rental and in early 2008 renovated the house and our first guests were welcomed in September that year.

Owner/Property Manager purchased this house in 1972
Why Owner/Property Manager chose Cook Islands

It is a family house and is run by myself on behalf of the family, my sister lives 1 km away and my Father lives next to me in his little 1 bedroom (my mother passed away) ~ we have a great connection and love for the house as has amazing childhood memories for us.

What makes this house unique

You just can't go pass the amazing beach.
