Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Herons reef was such a great base for our 6 days in Rarotonga!! we hike bicycles and cycled round the Island (only 30k round). The place is HUGE, has a washing machine and all amenities you could need, a huge comfy bed, aircon, and fans too and a big outdoor area with a bbq too. The lovely friendly dogs and cats were also a joy as was the beach terrace especially for star gazing! The Saturday market is great in Avarua and the night market in Muri is a must-do for the food, don't miss that and the cross-island hike is also wonderful - and not too hard (about 2-3 hours to cross the island - although we hiked door to door from Herons which was 45k so not for the faint-hearted!!) also the snorkelling at Muri beach is fab (we saw turtles both times we went there just snorkelling out from the beach) and Aroa beach reef is stunning - we saw 3 turtles there too!). If you are there for an extended time definitely get the concession pass for the bus to save money ($35 NZ for 10 trips)! We also we allowed to check out late for no charge - thank you Pasha!!
Negative: nothing - it was great!!
Summary: Heron's reef is the perfect base for a trip to Rarotonga and great value for money!
