MM Studio 1 - Great Value for 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. Alternately a 15 minute sunset stroll along the beach will lead you to the “Vaima” restaurant replete with an excellent bar and menu. Coming back along the road will take you past Wigmores superstore for essential household shopping and further along the Yellow Hibiscus Restaurant. Walking the other way will bring you to the Saltwater Cafe (excellent coffee), more great snorkeling and the Queens Representative Home.

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 verandah being perfect for socialising.

Great Place!
We loved the property but ended up checking out a few days early because the road outside is pretty noisy and we weren't able to relax.

Accommodation at MMStudio
My experience staying at MMStudios was great as a first-timer in Raro. Practically zero issues to mention. The space was perfect, bathroom was just right, resources, appliances and other attributing home necessities within a few steps reach. Grocery store, and places to eat are super close by, about a 1min drive away or 5-8 mins if you're walking, and not to mention the beach is literally right outside, so ofcourse that's a huge bonus. Overall, definitely a place to take into consideration as a first-timer, minimalist, on a budget, or if you plan on being out more rather than staying in. Definitely looking foward to my next trip there 💯

Happy in Rarotonga
MM Studio 1 was perfect for the type of holiday we planned. Plenty of room for two, a very comfortable king size bed and a great shower. A well equipped kitchen meant we could self cater if we wanted to stay in. We loved the deck as well. Eddie C kept in touch both before and during our stay and was a great help with hiring a car. Unfortunately we didn’t meet him in person - it would have been nice to do so. The only negative really is that parts of the Studio are tired and in need of some TLC - please do something about the side door - it is a real blot on an otherwise tidy property and the reason for the 4 star ratings. We didn’t mind the gecko that scuttled in and out but other, larger, beasties would have no trouble getting in as well.

Holiday in Paradise
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, great location,100metres to the beach, supermarket walking distance, bus at the door if required. Thought the road out front would be intrusive, it wasn’t. Great talking and sharing experience with our neighbours. Will be back

Great location
The property was in a great location. Eddie arranged drop-off and pickup from airport which made life easy and it had everything we needed to enjoy our holiday. The BBQ was out of gas when we got there but Eddie quickly rectified this. We will definitely be looking to stay here again in the future.

Excellent property with amazing location.
I had the privilege of staying at Eddies MM Studio. It was very clean and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. Kitchen is very well equipped so we could save money and not have to eat out frequently. The shower is amazing with fantastic water pressure. Hot water was plentiful. Eddie is an amazing host with excellent communication skills. The location couldn’t be better. A world class beach a 20 second walk away, a mini grocery store a 2 minute walk away and a bigger grocery store (Wigmore’s) with $1.00 ice cream cones 7 minutes away (walking). A convenient bus that stops in front 2 times an hour (all you have to do is wave it down) This place was everything my 8 year old daughter and I could have hoped for and more. Thank you Eddie for a wonderful stay. We cannot wait to come back!

Your home away from home
Yes we throughly enjoyed our stay .It was close to the beach and had excellent snorkelling. Wigmore has all the groceries you need and is close by. I would suggest one be given 2 keys rather than just one. also a plug in the bathroom would be helpful. A friendly car rental “Go Cook” is next door to Wigmore grocery store.
