Enjoyed my stay here. The name literally speaks for itself. Was literally a hidden gem tucked away and the rural area of Rarotonga. Absolutely beautiful home you have Vaiana & Brett thank you for opening it up to me and my mother. Would definitely stay here again.

Property was clean and tidy and everything we needed to enjoy our holidays
A great location away from the usual tourist traps but close enough to walk to a local shop and swimming beach. Bikes were not available however we hired ebikes which made the whole island accessible. It's suited our needs well and Vaiana was quick to help with any problems.

ONE OF MY BEST VACATIONS EVER
The property is quaint does not have all the bells and whistels of resorts, however the location is great and the staff was very helpfull. The price for my stay was very reasonable. I rented a car for my weeks stay, I would suggest that it makes your vacation very enjoyable. The owner Vaiana George and the Fijian lady very helpful. I would reccomend the Hiddem Gem for a budget vacation.
