Cook Islands Budget Resorts

There are only a handful of properties offering affordable accommodation in the Cook Islands Rarotonga and Aitutaki are both only small so if you're exploring the sites it doesn't matter a great deal on the location as everything is easily accessible. If you're looking for a Cook Islands budget holiday and don't want to share bathroom facilities, be prepared to spend at least NZ$120 per night. The Cook Islands is one of the more expensive South Pacific destinations to visit and its not just the accommodation you'll pay a premium for. The majority of food and beverages are imported from New Zealand which in itself is an expensive country, so have cash in your wallet. If you want to visit Aitutaki, the only practical way to get there is by plane and this will set you back another $500 for the return flight and ground transfers.
