Our stay at the Avana Apartments was magnificent, the rooms were cooled by fans, right next to the lagoon and the reef for fishing. Their own jetty was very useful for us as we like to bomb off the end of that.Snorkeling and kayaking daily if you wanted.Desiree and family looked after us from knowing where to shop, taxi to...

We have just spent eight days at Avanna waterfront apartments, and couldn't recomend them more highly. Our studio apartment was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Being right on the edge of the lagoon, and a distance from the main road, made it a peaceful and relaxing place to be, ----- the crashing of the waves onto the reef, and the... More

Appartment was great (perfect waterfront spot), Desiree brilliant, Rarotonga amazing. Having the jetty was cool for snorkelling, stonefish who lives under it was a real bonus (hadn't noticed him there for 5 days before). Fishing trip Desiree arranged was amazing, Roy had a ball and caught whopper Wahoo! Flying fishing fun too, even I caught one! Love to go back... More

Our family of 12 are just back from 11 nights at the Avana and had a ball. Desiree was such an amazing help from our first email contact to the minute we left. Nothing was too much trouble - we can't wait to go back again. Beautiful fresh fruit supplied in abundance - freshly caught tuna and even a wonderful... More

My wife and I just returned from a week at Avana, our second visit (we had our honeymoon here 2 years ago). The place is even better than last time, freshly caught fish was brought to our room twice during our stay as well as fresh fruit (all free of charge!). We had a week of kayaking around the islands,... More

Our family of 9 adults and 2 pre-teenagers stayed at Avana Waterfront Apartments for 2 weeks during the December holidays. The manager, Reuben, was a perfect host and stopped by every day to check on the guy's fishing luck and to offer to take us on adventures like snorkeling out to the point, kayaking to the outer island, and showing...

We loved our 8 days at Avana Waterfront Apartments. The pool is saltwater chlorinated and is a lovely temperature - our 9 year old practically lived in the pool. The managers keep the gardens and units absolutely immaculate. Desiree was just wonderful with giving us fresh fruit, servicing our apartment and helping us out when we had lost our camera.... More

A group of 17 of us, from grandparents to little ones, virtually took over Avana Waterfront Apartments, occupying 4 of the 8 units for a week, and loved it. The apartments are well appointed, each with a slightly different layout, depending on the number of bedrooms (2 or 3) and floorplan. The master bedroom upstairs facing the lagoon is wonderful...

Nothing was too much trouble. The accomodation is... More
