Choosing where to stay around Avarua
View the location on a mapSaturday makes a difference to your plans
Cook Islands Tourism recommends the Saturday morning market. Plan around that rather than assuming a visit on any day will offer the same experience. If you arrive after the market or leave before it, decide whether different dates would work before choosing a room rate that is difficult to change.
Match the property's address to the market
The market manager places Punanga Nui near Avarua's waterfront and describes a smaller operation on weekdays. Compare the accommodation address with the market location when choosing where to stay. If you want to cook some meals, check the facilities and shopping arrangements instead of relying on a listing simply described as an apartment.
