# Volunteering/accommodation in Rarotonga Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Cook Islands
romabe 18:14 UTC 23 Mar 2007 | A group of three of us are going to be in Rarotonga for 2 weeks from 24 Aug to 8 Sep 2007. Before that we will have spent time in NZ "wwoofing", where we will work for a few hours a day on farms in return for accommodation and sometimes food. As organised accommodation seems to be quite expensive in Rarotonga we were wondering if anyone knows of a similar scheme on Rarotonga itself or the out islands, or of alternative places to stay not advertised through the usual methods. We would be willing to do any sort of work (within reason) and obviously would be happy to make a contribution to our keep as well. Any suggestions are welcome! |

romabe 16:35 UTC 24 Mar 2007 | Yes, sorry should have said Vara's is our current plan. We're just trying to make sure we explore all possibilities. | 2
