About Us
The current managers at Ariana are Kylie Monastra & Marshall McMahon who live immediately next door. The office hours are from 8am to 10am and 4pm to 5pm, Monday to Friday, however the managers are usually onsite all day. During the weekends the managers are available as required. They can help with local knowledge about where to go & what to do during your visit to Rarotonga.
Ariana has a games room with a T.V., library, board games and a pool table for adults. Wi-Fi is available and Wi-Fi cards can be purchased direct from Telecom.
We try to minimise the effect of tourism on our fragile Island environment. We use some solar power, operate a recycling system and our water system is filtered & UV treated. We have been drinking our water without problems since these systems were installed. We believe this has helped to reduce the use of plastic bottles on the Island & we encourage our guests to re-use their bottles by refilling with our water and to then take their bottle home with them at the end of their visit.
Our green motto with plastic bottles
ONE TRIP – ONE BOTTLE - ONE LESS
PLEASE – TAKE IT HOME.
There is a large 24 hour grocery & petrol store called “The Super Brown Store”, which is only 150m from Ariana. They provide takeaways for fast food & local foods until late, every night of the week. They also sell liquor and ice-cream in a cone. An ATM machine, mobile and data top-ups are also available.
Chickens & roosters live wild & free on our property. We have enjoyed their diligence at maintaining a low insect population and in return we have adopted patience in accepting their sometimes rowdy & loud energetic songs. We have often referred to their calls as our Cook Islands alarm clock which sometimes has been set to go hourly from midnight on!!!
This is not always guaranteed but if it happens, we in Rarotonga, just inhale, tune out from their "alarming" responses, go to sleep and will them to follow. We encourage you to try the same.
