Housing

Hi

I wanted to know how much it costs to rent a house if looking for long term rental in Rarotonga. I will be moving there if all my visa is processed by the end of January. Also my other question is what do I bring with me?
Do the houses come furnished and if yes then what do I still need to bring from NZ. I could not find any articles on housing on this blog so it would be great to know this before I start packing and arranging for storage.
Thanks

Long-term housing starts at about $250 a week for a furnished two bedroom house. It can go up to $500 a week or more for seaside or multiple bedrooms. Don't rent a vacation home from New Zealand for very long since long term rentals are so much cheaper. You cannot find long-term rentals until you get here. Look in the newspaper and ask people around you.

I am from America, not New Zealand. I don't know what you're used to, but there are so many things and brands you cannot get here, so bring extra of anything you would find in a pharmacy.
