About us

Our home, your retreat

Kia orana

Meet your hosts

Reyden’s Retreat is cared for by Rowena and Eusenio, who live locally and are only a phone call away for anything you need during your stay. Whether it is a restaurant recommendation, help booking a lagoon cruise or a question about the house, just ask.

The house is a quiet, comfortable place to come back to after a day on the island, with a garden full of palms and frangipani, breezy bedrooms and space to cook and relax together.

Your hosts and their family

The story behind the name

Why Reyden's?

Placeholder: add the story behind the name here. Who Reyden is, what the house means to the family, and how it became a place to share with guests.

Caring for our island

Small things that make a difference

Rarotonga is beautiful and fragile. These are a few of the ways we look after it, and how you can help while you stay with us.

Power and water

Most of the island's electricity comes from diesel and water reserves can run low, so we ask guests to switch off lights and fans when out. Hot water comes from the sun.

Recycling and food scraps

Recycling bins are provided, and food scraps are collected in a separate bucket and given to local pig farmers.

Protecting the reef

Please use oxybenzone-free sunscreen and avoid standing on coral. Single-use plastic bags are not allowed in the Cook Islands, so bring a reusable bag for shopping.

A friendly neighbour

Say hello to Te Marama

Our friendly dog Te Marama may pop by from time to time to see who is visiting. She is gentle and curious, but please don’t feed her or let her into the house.

The neighbourhood dogs might bark as you pass, but they are friendly as long as you stay off their properties.
