Paradise Inn Rarotonga is a budget style inn in the Cook Islands offering 16 fully serviced self-contained units. We are ideally located a few minutes walk from the centre of Avarua Town yet in a secluded location alongside a sandy beach with stunning mountains as a backdrop.

Paradise Inn is the perfect base for exploring Rarotonga, and the ideal place to retreat to at the end of the day. Our units sleep a maximum of three people and we have one family unit sleeping four - sorry, children under the age of 12 are not permitted to ensure a peaceful ambience.

Several excellent restaurants are a minute stroll away and the shops, bars and cafes of Avarua are only five minutes walk. We have a grocery shop on the corner of our property and the Museum and National Library is a minute walk across the road.

Our front office desk is open daily and our hosts will help you organize your tours and exploring. We have a large community lounge decorated in Cook Islands art and artifacts with a self-service bar, dining tables, comfy sofas, books and maps. The lounge leads out to our raised veranda with wooden tables and sun loungers looking out over the beach and lagoon.

The fringing reef on this side of the island is less than 100 metres from the beach and is the ideal spot for spotting whales which come to the reefs edge between July and October. The beach itself is mostly sand and extends in both directions. The lagoon is suitable for wading and shallow swimming.  At low tide, the lagoon is shallow enough for reef walking.  If your timing is right, you can be standing metres away from a resting humpback whale!  Bring an old pair of shoes and you'll spot plenty of starfish, coral heads and small reef fish in the lagoon.

If your'e looking for a friendly place to stay, with comfortable living at an affordable price, then look no further than Paradise Inn ...
