We have arrived back from an 8 day stay. What an awesum place.I had read these reviews and thought immmm maybe not the greatest place to stay but we had to make our minds up for ourselves (as kiwi's do) We had a beach front unit. (Beach albeit rocky) it was so cool to have the sea right outside your... more

Hi we would recommend the sunrise as we stayed for a family wedding at Edgewater. The hosts Caryn and Brian were very friendly and helpful, yes they enjoy a drink but by no means did they party hard while we were there. Caryn picked us up from the airport early hours no problems and took us to the markets the... more

What an fabulous place! The Sunrise is like a little touch of paradise. As four mature students seeking reasonably priced accomodation, we were absolutely delighted with our stay at the Sunrise. Talk about value for money! Caryn picked us up from the airport, arranged a car for our holiday and was spot on with places/ tours etc that she thought... more

It was the first time my Family and I had travelled together. My eldest Son was to join us in two days. We arrived to a flurry of friendly staff and singing at the Airport and no problems with customs. We were transferred by Caryn and Bryan without any problems. Arrival to our Beach Front Bungalows (Two for the price... more

We wanted a quiet place on the ocean in a tropical setting and that is what we got. Caryn and Brian were excellent hosts, very considerate and kind. If you are expecting 5 star accomodations then stay somewhere else and pay the price. We enjoyed the simple setting, the constant ocean breeze and the ocean at our doorstep. When they... more

We have been going there to the Sunrise for the past 5 yrs (inc this one). If you check into it you will be told that this is not a beach for swimming but beachcombing OK. We love the bungalows right along the ocean so you hear the ocean and its very relaxing We look forward to going again next... more

I can understand some of the dissenting views of the Sunrise Beach Bungalows and the seemingly inconsistent manner in which Caryn acts and does business: the problem is excessive liquor. When I first contacted the Sunrise, I received a bizarre email in return, full of swear words and written to the level of someone in about grade three: odd considering... more

The Good The Bad & The Ugly - Double Booked - Double Charged - Double Deceived I do not understand how this place gets great rave reviews as well as really bad ones - Does Caryn have a problem which rears its ugly head from time to time. The Cook Island people are lovely and we loved the island -... more

In late July we booked out the whole of Sunrise for a family wedding. It was just perfect. We had the wedding on the beach, the reception in their own area ( which had toilet and kitchen facilities). Caryn and Brian arranged for the wedding bower, cake, catering and hairdresser and everything arrived in time (even if it was Rarotonga... more
