“Fantastic place. This is our third year going back and we absolutely love it. The beach is gorgeous and hardly ever has anyone on it. The snorkelling has improved every year and there is now sealife everywhere. It is also handy to have the “Jar Bar” aka Shipwreck Hut a one minute walk down the beach. The house is clean and well equipped. Booking was easy and extremely friendly.”
“This is the most wonderful place to stay and far exceeded our expectations. What more could we have wanted? This is a large, clean and modern house, right on the beach. It has a fully equipped kitchen, where nothing appears to have been forgotten, a washing machine, dishwasher and microwave. When we didn’t feel like cooking we could wander to the resort next door. Mark was a wonderful host, who recommended things for us to do. We used the buses, hired push-bikes, and walked a lot. I’m recommending this beautiful house to all my friends, and I look forward to returning.”
“Great location, everything we required was on hand. Plenty of room to cook, eat, relax and enjoy. We had a great holiday thank you. “
“What a wonderful spot, right at the beach, on the sunset side of the island, accomodation had everything we needed, and everything was so close. The snorkelling was great. Enjoyed it all. Great to go to the beach bar and then get picked up for a brilliant Wednesday night cultural show. Thanks for being great hosts.”
“This is an exemplary holiday home that I can thoroughly recommend. It is fantastic value for money, clean very spacious. With the beach literally on your doorstep, it is the ideal location for a truely relaxing holiday. Don’t worry that you’re not on the “Muri Lagoon” side of the island. The beach here is equally as breathtaking, and the snorkelling is just as good. It’s a lot less windy on this side too. And.. the sunsets are incredible. Self catering is easy with a supermarket in town and convenience stores close to the house. We watched the sunset and enjoyed bbqs on the front porch every evening. It was refreshing to be away from all the tourists. If you want a fabulous place to eat out, try Waterline up the road. The food is amazing, it’s like eating in a tree hut lit with hurrican lanterns ( very romantic) You will find Mark and Gaye the most wonderful hosts – they go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and they can organise just about everything for you – Mark got us a great deal on a hire car. I THOROUGHLY recommend this property. It is great value for money, lovely inside, spacious, clean and on a GREAT location. I would be back there in a flash!”
“Absolutely brilliant holiday and relaxing break. Enjoyed the beautiful beach and snorkelling on our doorstep and the house is great. Would highly recommend this house, far better than resorts that we visited during our stay, much more relaxed and private. Loved getting around by scooter, everywhere you want to go is within 10mins. Great convenience store located 1 min up the road. Can’t wait to go back and will definitely book Anchor’s Rest again. Did I mention the bar on the beach only 3 mins stroll down the sand…. cocktails at sunset… brilliant!!!”
“My wife, myself, and a couple of friends stayed for 4 nights at Anchor’s Rest, and by far it was one of the most memorable stays we have had anywhere in the world.
The lazing around enjoying the sun, the late sleep-ins, the almost non-existent stroll to the beach with more lazing and swimming provided the most relaxing atmosphere we have ever had, to the point where it really was hard to leave.
We had almost perfect weather for our stay, making the beach that much more enjoyable. The snorkeling was truly amazing, with crystal clear water allowing the most amazing fish to be seen almost as soon as you put your feet in the water. And watching the sunset (which we found out can only be seen on the side of the island Anchor’s Rest is) is an absolute must-do, followed by a couple of beers on the verandah with friends just chatting about how life should be. Paradise.
If anyone is thinking of a relaxing holiday in Rarotonga, then Anchor’s Rest is definitely the place to stay. We are definitely going back!!! “

“We had a blissfully relaxing holiday at Anchor’s Rest. Mark is a wonderful host and made us feel very welcome. The house enjoys one of the best locations on the island, with fabulous snorkelling and spectacular sunsets right on the doorstep. The accommodation is safe, comfortable and spacious, just perfect for a no fuss, stress-free holiday. The kids had a blast and the adults totally chilled. We will certainly return.”
