The Sea Change Villas is a small, modern property on the sunset side of Rarotonga, less than 10 miles from the airport, set alongside a pretty little beach overlooking the beautiful Titikaveka Lagoon, with its' calm waters making it perfect for swimming, snorkelling and kayaking.
Sea Change offer just 12 modern villas, in 1, 2 or 3 bedroom layouts and 3 categories of Lagoon View, Lagoon View Executive and Beachfront. All the villas offer a king size 4 poster bed in the main bedroom, and 2 twin beds in 2nd bedroom, full kitchen with fridge/freezer, 4 burner gas hob, sink, oven, microwave, dishwasher and housewares, lounge area with satellite TV, dining table with seating for 4-6, air conditioning in the bedrooms, Wi-Fi Internet access (fee) and patio doors opening to a furnished deck with beach or lagoon views at the front and an enclosed courtyard at the back or to the side with a large private plunge pool, sun deck and lounge furniture.
The Lagoon View Villas are set a little way back from the beach, the other side of the coast road, amongst the tropical planting and palm trees, but just a brief stroll from the beach. The two 1-bedroom villas offer a bedroom with four-poster king bed, ensuite bathroom and a spacious dual aspect open plan kitchen/dining/living room which opens to the sun deck and enclosed courtyard. The 2-bedroom villa has a 2nd bedroom and bathroom overlooking the courtyard and pool. The Lagoon View Executive villas are 100m from the sea on a small rise above the beach with great views of the lagoon. The 2-storey villas have a games room and 3rd bedroom on the ground floor and the 2 main bedrooms, kitchen and main living/dining room on the first floor, to take advantage of the views. The Beachfront Villas are right on the beach edge with similar layouts the the Lagoon View villas, but have floor-to-ceiling bi-folding doors to open up the front of the villa to the beach and the view.
Although all the villas have full kitchens for self catering, and there is no restaurant on site, they do provide a welcome breakfast basket on arrival, which includes bread, milk, and eggs, and you can order a tropical continental breakfast delivered each morning if you wish (fee), or splash out on a champagne breakfast or brunch. Nearby there are several restaurants and cafes if you don't want to cook, and many offer Sea Change guests complimentary transfers to and from the restaurants. A selection of complimentary wine and beer is ready chilled in your fridge when you arrive, but if you want to stock up with more, food and drinks, there are shops in Avarua, 15-20 minutes drive away, along with several more restaurants, bars and cafes.
Also, the staff can arrange picnic lunches, chef-cooked Sunset BBQ's and grourmet dinners in your villa, if you wish.
Sea Change Villas also offer wedding packages, including a simple, just-the-two-of-you ceremony to a whole property buy-out, or when lots of family and friends join you.
The Sea Change Villas are ideal for families and friends travelling together or anyone who wants to stay on a more independant basis.

Currently, there are very limited International flight connections to and from the Cook islands. All international flights operate into Rarotonga and there are domestic connection flights into Aitutaki, Atiu and Mangaia.
The main international carrier is Air New Zealand, with direct air service provided six days a week from and to Auckland (currently there is no flight on a Friday), and once a week to and from Los Angeles, currently departing Rarotonga on a Friday arriving LA on the Saturday. The return flight leaves LA on Saturday and arrives Rarotonga on Sunday morning. They operate on a new B777-200ER aircraft, with 26 Business, 40 Premium Economy and 246 Economy seats. The Premium Economy seats are the first to be offered on this route.
There is also a year round once a week flight with Air New Zealand between Rarotonga and Sydney, departing Rarotonga on Thursday arriving Sydney on Friday and departing Sydney on Friday arriving in Rarotonga on Friday, operating on a B767-300 aircraft, with 24 Business and 206 Economy seats.
Virgin Australia operate 3 days a week from Auckland to Rarotonga, using a 737 aircraft, departing Auckland on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, arriving in Rarotonga the previous day (as you cross the International dateline), and returning flights Tuesday, Thursday and Friday arriving two days later (cross the International dateline again in the other direction adding a day, plus arriving after midnight into the next day) (schedule as of 15/10/15, subject to change without notice).
Also, for the winter months, (June-October 2016), they will be operating a direct flight Christchurch, on New Zealand's South Island, to Rarotonga. Departing on Saturday and arriving in Rarotonga on Friday (cross the date line), and returning the same day, Friday to arrive back in Christchurch on Sunday (date line and midnight time crossing), this will save visitors having to travel up to Auckland to get to the Cook Islands.
Jetstar,
a new airline starting in New Zealand, started a new flight
schedule from Auckland to Rarotonga in March 2016. At
present, they are planning to operate from and to Auckland on
Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday, with the return flight being the same
days, due to arriving and departing after midnight, and will arrive
back in Auckland the following days, due to crossing the
international dateline.
Air Tahiti
operate up to twice weekly flights from Papeete, Tahiti to
Rarotonga, currently on a Saturday and Thursday. However,
on most weeks they only operate the
Thursday flight!
All
domestic flights within the Cook islands are operate by Air Rarotonga. Their main route
is Rarotonga to Aitutaki, on which they operate up to five daily
services, except Sunday, when only one is operated (up till the end
of 2009 no flights were permitted to operate domestically on a
Sunday).
They also provide frequent services to the other main islands in
the Southern group. However, air access to the Northern group
is currently very restricted, to the point where it is almost
impossible for tourists to book flights, due to the limited seats
that are offered. Quite a lot of the time, the
seats are reserved for Government officials and the local residence
of the Northern islands.
Airline Seat Maps
For most airlines, we can pre-reserve seats for you once your flight booking is confirmed, and will do so as a matter of course. If you would like to have a look at a seat plan for your aircraft, you can check the airlines' own website, or one of the best independent websites for this information is SeatGuru.com, which is part of the Tripadvisor group.
