Travellers Tip! You’ll get a lot more out of your holiday if you join in the Orientation at the beginning of your stay as it will really help you to get your bearings and pick up a bit of handy local knowledge about Rarotonga. At 2pm daily there’s also a Resort Site Inspection if you’ve always been a little bit curious to take a peek inside some of the other room, suite, bungalow and villa categories at The Rarotongan.

PHOTOCOPYING
Photocopying services are available from the Front Desk at a cost of NZ 50¢ per page. Please contact Front Desk on “0”.
PHOTOGRAPHIC & VIDEO SUPPLIES
Travellers Tip! If you see something that you may need later during your stay (eg disks, extra film, camera batteries, instant camera etc) buy it now, as the shop may run out of supplies by the time you do actually need it. If you’re visiting an outer island, definitely take with you all such supplies you may need, including disks, film or a disposable camera. Best of all, bring with you from home all photographic, digital and video supplies you may require to record your sojourn in Paradise, as stock on the island can at times be limited.
POSTCARDS & POSTAGE STAMPS
A range of vibrant postcards are available at the Front Desk for NZ$1 per card. Stamps and postcards are also available at the Treasure Chest Gift Shop (open throughout the week).
