Avarua, Cook Islands
Nikao
Set on a generous leasehold plot in the peaceful Nikao district of Avarua on the north-western coast of Rarotonga, this characterful two-bedroom island home is surrounded by mature tropical gardens that provide natural shade and privacy. The single-storey structure, built in 1999, features a light and airy lounge with louvre windows, a functional galley kitchen, and one well-sized bathroom with both indoor and outdoor shower options — perfect for rinsing off after a beach visit. Ceiling fans in every room keep the interior cool with the prevailing sea breeze. A covered carport accommodates one vehicle. Nikao is home to Rarotonga's international airport, the national stadium, and several well-regarded takeaway restaurants, placing everyday conveniences within easy cycling distance. Monthly rent is NZD 2,200 (Cook Islands Dollar equivalent).
