4th time at the villa and it just gets better each time. Liu is amazing to deal with and always leaves a great few basics to get you going on arrival and the new Starlink is an absolute bonus. This property is outstanding, I highly recommend it to couples just wanting to chill on the best beach in Raro on your doorstep. There is also a new CITC across the road for all your supplies and fuel which makes life super easy. Book now, you will absolutely love it

This Villa surpassed our expectations! Everything was supplied, towels, filtered water, kitchen had everything you needed. Snorkles and kayak/paddle boards. Perfect location, beach on doorstep, supermarket across the road & car/scooter rental next door, restaurants just a walk away. Fish just a paddle away and whales most mornings & evening's (late August). We didn't want to leave.

The location was absolutely incredible, with direct access to the beautiful white sand beach, crystal clear waters and fantastic snorkelling right on the doorstep. Sitting on the deck looking out at the water was pure magic and we loved every minute of our stay. The house was well set up with everything we needed for a self catering holiday, including a full sized fridge, water cooler and plenty of utensils.

Private Gem

Place is in an amazing private location overlooking the beach and reef. Was in immaculate condition and just what we were after. Having a main grocery shop across the road is quite the bonus too. Liu and George were great being helpful and quick communication. Would 100% recommend and will be referring to family and friends.

Very low key and on the beach, Te Rito captured everything good about island life. Michelle was nearby to assist if we needed help and we did not. One heads up: if you land on Sunday, grocery stores are closed.Restaurants were open and superstar driver Max took us to the one grocery open.Great place on a perfect beach!

Information for guests

Like many other places i have stayed at hotel wise or other there is a severe lack of information as to use of tv. .especially if wi-fi connected. A lot of out of date tourist information. 4 year old brochures etc ought to be culled. A folder with relevant info re local eateries..bus times..accurate walk times..etc not hard to make up for guests. For guests doing some own meals etc visiting supermarkets in Town the best as small local "stores" very very limited as to stock. I always take ear plugs wherever i go . I was for warned to take in this booking due to local roosters crowing at all times. The biggest issue was a 3 legged dog barking a lot all around the booked property which was not mentioned. Not good. A late checkout with reasonable payment appreciated. One of owners calling in to show tv operation also appreciated. Think also the nightly rate over priced in general for property.

The location of TeRito Lagoon is just perfect. Right on the beach with a lovely grassy area to lie outside and watch the sea . The villa had everything we needed and we both enjoyed our stay here tremendously. Michelle was so super friendly and made our stay amazing .

Loved it!

This is our 2nd time renting this unit, and the location can’t be beat! You can snorkel right outside your door. The bungalow has everything you could need. Unfortunately the weather on this visit was rainy for several days, so we were thankful for the WiFi and tv. The large covered deck was really nice as we could still sit outside even in the bad weather. Communication was always excellent with the owners, and I’m sure we will be back again!

Beautiful property lacking in privacy

Car port, steps up to front door, into bedroom, shower rom to side. Large shower cubicle Living kitchen in front onto veranda, little garden, straight onto beach. view to die for. Very well equiped. Even factor 50, insect spray, INSECT MESH on ALL windows. Fans. kayak, surf board, snorkle, goggles,reef shoes etc. Good restaurants down the beach in walking distance. Tropical garden worth visit. Only negative: Can look into and be seen from house next door, also outside area no privacy barrier. People, even a car, came down side of house unexpectedly. Changing must be in shower rm if you don't want to exhibit yourself!

Perfect getaway

We had two idyllic weeks at TeRito Villas. The house had everything we needed, and the view was simply stunning. The snorkelling off the beach was the best we found around the island, with loads of different tropical fish - we even saw an eagle ray. The location was great for us too, within walking distance of a couple of restaurants, across the road from a small shop with the essentials, next to a bus stop and also next to a car/bike rental agency. Liu made the check-in easy and was great with communication, and Michelle on-site was very welcoming. All in all, we had a simply perfect stay - the only disappointment was that it wasn't for longer!

The location of this Bach is amazing, The beach is just outside your door and so private. Tucked away a bit so that it is sheltered from those pesky warm October winds. The kitchen is well stocked and has everything you need. A walk along the beach will get you to Little Polynesia for lunch or dinner with amazing Sushimi. The beautiful Maire Nui Gardens with the best-ever cheesecake which is to die for. We had a wonderful stay at Te Rito Villa's. We will be back
