Workation in Avarua: the essentials

The capital of the Cook Islands is a low-rise strip along the north shore of Rarotonga, more a district of about 5,000 people than a city. Banks, government offices, the harbour at Avatiu and the Punanga Nui market on Saturdays are all here, and there is some coworking. Two buses circle the island, one clockwise and one anticlockwise, and the Needle trail crosses the mountainous interior. Rarotonga International Airport is about 3 km away, with direct flights to Auckland. The community is small and most shops close on Sundays.
