Volunteering/accommodation in RarotongaCountry forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Cook Islands | ||
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. | ||
You must be confused by the currency exchange. Dorm rooms at Vara's are NZD 25 per night or less than 10 British pounds. | 1 | |
Yes, sorry should have said Vara's is our current plan. We're just trying to make sure we explore all possibilities. | 2 | |
Rarotonga Backpackers dorms are 16 NZD which is less than 6 British pounds per night. | 3 | |
