If your looking for space and location then this is the place for you. We stayed in villa 1 & we had everything we needed for 5 nights. Waking up in the morning to the sound of the ocean was magic, & dragging a kayak a few metres into the pristine water before breakfast was even better. Snorkeling right outside & a pool to have a dip was heaven. There are some things that could be better especially for the price! The moldy pillows that were on the bed along with dusty white decorative sheet above the bed was gross. The guy who was staring at us from the abandoned house behind us was beyond creepy & didnt make me feel safe, especially when we caught him going thru the bins. The shower head is missing its cover, the outside shower head was broken. The bidet was also not working properly. Lights were falling out of sockets and the sun lounger cushions needed replacing. It could do with an update. Definitely bring your bug spray. Some food items were out of date by miles. The hot water stopped working but to Des' credit it was fixed the next day. 

Amazing location but needs attention 

Very good value for money with a spacious open lounge/kitchen, you also get access to kayaks, snorkel gear, and random kitchenette stuff like mosquito coils, blender etc
Des the owner was really responsive, the heat pump wasn't working and within a day it was fixed. We also locked ourselves out of the villa oops and Des came to our rescue within 20min.
We stayed for 10 nights and would highly recommend a car to travel around the island - it was really easy to hire one as we got it straight from Des at a competitive rate, within a 5min call with him we got the keys and were on our way. 
We had no neighbours for the majority, but had company in the sister villa on the last night - we could hear them slamming the cupboards and bass from the TV but this would be expected in any semi attached property
The villa is serviced every 2nd day, very handy to have fresh towels and the bin emptied. You're in the tropics, bring your insect repellent, don't leave food on the bench or the ants will pounce on it, and take advantage of the private pool for you to jump into after a long day  

Highly recommend if you want to be close to the tourist action but still in your own space

We had 8 lovely nights at Rendezous and thoroughly enjoyed it.  There are 2 villas and we were in Villa 1.  They are both very private and a bonus is that you can swim nudey in the pool and nobody would know.  Not ideal to swim out front at the beach but we weren't worried as we did a lagoon cruise and had the pool.  The villa is serviced every second day by Susie who does a great job and is very friendly.  Met Des a couple of times and was always pleasant and chatty. Sure some people have written a few negative reports on the villas but we had no problems.  Everything in the villa was in working order and it was great to have a little fold up clothes line and washing machine/dryer.  Also a bonus is having the sea breeze coming into your bedroom at night and if you opened the doors on the other side you got a through breeze.  Lovely and quiet.  Flies and mozzies are all part of the tropics and you should be prepared.  Maybe putting coils into the villas would help too.  Other than that a great stay.  Thank you Des.

*******AWESOME RIGHT ON THE WATER********

We were picked up at the airport by friendly Chad who then showed us thru our villa no.2.
It looked just like in the pictures but never saw a pic of the shower, & the reason is the shower screen is covered in soap scum & it’s old.
I mentioned to Chad later about it & he said he’d cleaned it & the villa next door is the same & he’s 
told the owner about them but nothing has been done. There is also nowhere to put your soap & shampoo except the floor.
The villa was serviced every couple of days which was nice.
When we opened the wardrobe it stunk of a damp musty smell & so we left the doors open the 2 weeks to try & get rid of the smell.
There is 2 air cons in the bedroom, 1 that works & the other that is old & yellow & not working but left there.
The king bed & pillows are lovely & the view from the bedroom & lounge across the deck to the water is beautiful.
But unfortunately you can’t keep the sliding doors open because the flies & mozzies come in early morning & later in the afternoon. We had to buy Aerogard & use the flyspray.
The lounge is very comfy.
There is a beautiful big fridge but you need your muscles to open the door sometimes cause the seal is so tight, a good thing I suppose.
The crockery & cutlery are very good & there’s a dishwasher, be careful because the bottom shelf rolls back really quickly when it’s opened.
When we opened the kitchen cupboards just to check out what was in there they stunk, except for the toaster/kettle cupboard. The same strong musty smell.
The electric frypan had been put away dirty, not that I wanted to use it.
The deck is so nice but the hedges seem to hide a lot of the view & get in every photo. Chad said the owner likes them that high. Maybe for complete privacy, but it takes away from the tropical feel of the island. 
The hedge on the side of the stairs tends to be a spot for the locals to come & sit nearby to drink & eat snacks & leave their rubbish behind.
Unfortunately you can’t swim in the water out the front because it’s full of big brown rocks & coral on the sand. This has nothing to do with the villa but I was surprised it was so rocky cause have visited Rarotonga twice before & didn’t know there were rocky parts, I’ve only seen sand & the beautiful 
lagoon with some coral where we’ve stayed before.
We love Rarotonga so much & found Lara to be very friendly & she drove us to the Airport but I’m just writing this review because the majority sounded so excellent & like luxury but it didn’t seem like that to us & feel the villa needs some TLC which I read in a couple of older reviews.
We will be coming back to the Cooks sometime, it’s paradise.

Love Rarotonga but disappointed with villa no.2

You practically have a whole beach to yourself yet it's just a short walk to the restaurants & activities at Muri. The villas themselves are spacious and well-appointed and the bed is large and comfortable. The bathroom is bigger than the kitchen with 2 basins set in a large, polished wooden counter and stylish tiles underfoot. Outside there is the choice of the deck right on the beach or the private plunge pool out the front. We were treated to a sensational sunset most nights.

Privacy & Luxury

Our return to Rarotonga was totally enhanced with our stay at Rendezvous Villas.   The location right on the Lagoon is priceless.  These two private villas offer a luxury, private get away!   Within walking distance to Muri Beach and the action there but who needs it - you will just want to eat, read, sleep, swim, repeat! At Rendezvous.  The attention to detail by the staff is exceptional.   Cant wait to return. Xx

Tropical Serendipity

I arrived late at night and the owner had arranged for me to be collected from the airport and taken to the Rendezvous in a private van. The Villa was absolute luxury and I couldn't wait till the morning to see the view. I wasn't disappointed! This villa is right on Muri beach with a beautiful private beach 7 steps from the deck and aqua blue water just like a postcard. The villa was beautiful and the beds were so comfortable. I will definitely be back.

Amazing Location

We enjoyed our 10 days here – quiet and secluded – the Villa is well furnished with all that we needed to make us comfortable -  plenty of room and a private area with a plunge pool that caught the afternoon sun – the front deck is great for meals and just lazing reading a book or taking in some sun – the 1lkm walk to Muri Village where there are small shops and plenty of restaurants and the night market was a once only and we hired a scooter - although you can walk off the deck into the water swimming was not possible because of the shallow water, rocks and squishy sea cucumbers - Chad was great - collecting and dropping us back at the airport and servicing the Villa as needed - he was also very helpful with local info - coupon based WiFi was an issue although we were given a starter voucher

Quiet and secluded

Such an amazing spot and Villa to stay in! Was close enough to the hub of Muri but also far enough away that you feel secluded! The beach out the front was very private and had no other people around the whole time. It was unreal having our own kayaks and snorkel gear saving us having to hire it which can be pricey! 
Chad and the team were absolutely wonderful with any help we needed and always a call away. Room was cleaned every second day! After looking around the island at other places, we definitely got one of the best spots. 

Very quick walk or kayak around the rocks to the amazing lagoon! 

Photos are all from out the front of the Villa! Wouldnt go anywhere else!!! ❤️
