Jim and Eve  - Directors of Pukekohe Travel have owned one of these villas for the past 18 years.

As you can imagine that over the past 33 years (the time they have owned and operated Pukekohe Travel, they have travelled to the far ends of the earth, but they still say "This is our slice of heaven on earth" 

The place to stay on the main island of Rarotonga is on the southern coast where...
- the lagoon is at its most beautiful
- the teal blue waters are a snorkellers paradise
- the white sand beaches are stunning and uncrowded
- the mountains provide a spectacular backdrop

In this setting, right on the beach, are the Sands Villas 
As fellow global travellers we believe we have found "heaven on earth" in the Cook Islands.
Welcome to our 'Slice of Heaven'
We have created these villas ourselves escaping a stressed world. It works for us.

We invite you to enjoy our island homes and be part of our Cook Islands family. Rongo and her team will look after you superbly.

It appears that everyone has a delightful stay. But be warned... Staying at the Sands Villas is contagious.
 
You will want to return time and again.

Kia Manuia,

Jim, Eve

Guest Comments

A most beautiful beginning for us as newlyweds. We enjoyed every minute here. Snorkelling right outside our deck - fabulous. A perfect setting for romance. We'll never forget it. Thank you.
We'll be back for our 10^th anniversary.
San & Sandeep Bhatha, Vancouver, BC, Canada

This is our first visit to the Cook Islands and we love it.
The beach, snorkelling, swimming, and ambience are out of this world. This is the most peaceful place. Thank you for creating such a marvelous villa for us to enjoy. The architecture is fabulous. Everything is first class for the guests' comfort. Would truly like to stay longer in paradise. Linda & Larry, Hawaii, USA

Arrived late at night, thought the villa was great. Woke up the next morning and realised we were in paradise. We had a terrific time here. Wish the villas weren't so popular so we could have stayed longer. Therese and Kjetil, Norway

Perfect place to come. Just great to recharge the batteries. We will return. Barrett's, Taupo, NZ

Absolutely fabulous. Beautiful place. We've got the best accommodation on the island. Cook islanders are beautiful people. Thanks for a wonderful stay. See you again soon. Kirstin, Byron Bay, NSW, Australia

All the superlatives and some more!! Bill and Norma, Devon, England

Our honeymoon was made absolutely perfect by staying in such a beautiful villa on a great beach / island. Rongo and the staff were outstanding in their kindness and very generous hospitality.
Thank you very much. Shelly & Phillip, Shillington, Herts, UK.
