MM Studio 2 - Across the road from a stunning beach

Both studios have large spacious living/sleeping areas, with a modern kitchen off to the side. Dining is out on the shared covered verandah, looking out to the properties beach and your first choice for swimming and snorkeling…30 seconds away! Transportation around the island is conveniently located close by with a bus stop, and buses that generally run every hour around the island.

An easy walk to the Yellow Hibiscus Palm Grove and Wigmores superstore.

The Vaimaanga district is also famous for “Papua” (Wigmores Waterfall) and the cross island walk, a four hour trek that takes you through the tropical interior of the island to “The Needle” a large rock outcrop that reveals spectacular mountain views of Rarotonga, from the mountains to the sea! People generally start this trek inland from the township of Avarua ending up in Vaima at the waterfall.

MandM Studios would be ideal for two couples planning a getaway together but not necessarily wanting to stay in the same house together, its shared veranda being perfect for socializing.

My partner and I had the most magical time. The studios were well catered to and looked after. We had everything we needed and more! It was a little noisy from traffic and roosters but not so bad! Neighbours were lovely! Although I wouldn’t recommend hanging ya clothes on the line to dry! We had a few things missing. However, we had an amazing stay and loved it!

Good value for money. Good spot on island. Road noise the only detraction.
Excellent communication with Eddie leading up to stay & his coordination with Henry meant our transition from airport to unit was seamless (even at 2:00 in the morning!). The unit was like a 70s kiwi bach by the sea (fraying formica bench & shower included), It was no frills but clean, self contained for cooking, tidy & quite well equipped (even beach towels & spare reef shoes & snorkels). Kitchen bench space was challenging but we managed. Bed comfortable & once we mastered the hot water controls the shower was good. Supermarket was close enough to be convenient. Coming from a quiet neighbourhood we were aware that road noise may be an issue for us. I had had enough by the end of our 9 day stay as it did detract from the idyllic quiet bach-by-the-sea image. However my wife, surprisingly, was unfazed by the noise as she appreciated the good points of the unit & its situation - we were only over the road & 30m from the beach (& good swimming & snorkelling) which was nice. A trench in the lagoon just 300m away, despite "no swimming" warning signs, provided good viewing of turtles for commercial guided tours & for the intrepid snorkelers (at low tide only!). Early on I accepted & got used to the road noise (it drowned out conversation at its busiest) & just relaxed on the deck & enjoyed the opportunity to watch the everyday activities of island life go by (the pulse of the island). We hailed the bus at our gate & even enjoyed a little bet between ourselves as we guessed when it would arrived (quite regularly as it turned out soon after the "expected" time - except on busy days when the drivers seemed to go out of their way to accommodate all passenger requests!). Overall our accommodation was what we had wanted (basic but clean so for us there was more money to spend on activities, etc), it was accurately described on the website, met & slightly exceeded our expectations, was situated in a convenient part of the island (not the busy-ness & bustle of Muri but still close by) & was good value for money. The only trade-off was the traffic noise. If less noise is required, pay (much?) more for a sea-side unit.

Lovely area
gorgeous beach across the road, unfortunately weather did not mean we could use much due to strong winds, - clean but becoming tired property lacks attention, and it would have been nice to meet our host - good value for money and did have everything needed, shops close

Very nice place on an amazing island
The appartement has everything you need: kitchen good equipped (frigge, freezer, microwave...), lots of towels in the bathroom, iron, hairdryer and a very comfortable bed...everything you need. The room is next to the main street and if you have problems with noise it is maybe to loud for you to fall asleep. But the beach is just across the road and one of the most beautiful areas around the island to enjoy the beautiful warm lagoon. Supermarket is close by. I missed some hooks in the appartement to hung up the towels in the bathroom and the kitchen. Communication was quick and uncomplicated. In a I can just reccomend for this prize!
