Frommer's Review

Carey and Ake Hosea Winterford have created a coffeehouse atmosphere at this little cafe, exactly halfway around Rarotonga from Avarua (it's a fine place to break a round-island tour). They indeed serve excellent coffee. Both lunch and dinner see burgers, fish and chips, and outstanding local freshwater shrimp in a garlic sauce. Note that they were serving dinner Tuesday through Thursday nights during my visit, and they were not open on weekends.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
