Might have missed my international flight but for

Very disappointed that my pickup to airport failed to turn up. The two taxi numbers didn’t pick up. I was stranded but for a man who works at the supermarket gave me a lift which I offered him what I would pay a taxi. It’s just not good enough

Right on Muri lagoon. Self contained villas. Excellent facilities. All equipment is free to use with no time limits or "signing out". Wifi is also free for guests. Breakfast pack provided daily with cereal and bread for toast. It's basic but great for just getting you going for the day. Excellent alternative to a resort. Will be back.

Nice units near the beach with snorkel and kayaking gear provided. The pool was nice and surrounded by tropical plants, but it’s not a lap pool. The staff are lovely. We really appreciated the lounge with an honor bar, although there was also a very convenient 24-hour store nearby that had basic groceries, wine and beer and the best roast chicken for takeaway. The Muri Night Market is right next door, so we had dinner there several times. The only thing I would note is that our room was a lot more dated than the photos online, so you might want to ask for one of their renovated rooms. Also, the bed was pretty hard, but some people like that. All in all, it was a great stay.

Great place to stay if you prefer self contained room style accommodation. There are no dining facilities here but there are a few options nearby within walking distance including the food night markets right next door, a cafe for morning coffees across the road, the sailing club restaurant 30 meters down the beach (ate here a couple of times, it’s pretty good), a convenience store and takeaways also 20-30 meters away. Rooms were clean and had everything you need. Staff were very friendly, helpful and hospitable. Muri beach and lagoon is amazing. Golden sand and crystal clear water with lots of amazing sea life around if you like snorkeling. We saw and swam with turtles right out in front of the accomodation every day. Masks, snorkels, reef shoes, SUPs, kayaks, bikes are all provided free of charge for guests which we found to be awesome! Swam in the pool once, it was nice but the beach is really where it’s at. It’s a vibrant spot with lots of activity going on. There are lagoon tour operators either side of the Muri Beachcomber so you get to see and hear the shows they put on on the beach before they head off a couple of times a day. The drums and singing adds to the cultural feel and atmosphere of the area. Despite all the activity we didn’t feel like there was too much going on. We were still able to relax on the deck chairs, soak up the sun and picturesque views if that’s what we felt like doing. Found no faults during our stay, highly recommend it.

This is a great place to visit as a group each unit has a kitchenette and theres bbqs outside each room with tables and chairs outside great for big cook up with friends , theres a few supermarkets for buying meat etc or take it with you if going from NZ, , lots of local places to walk to for food or hire a car/vans so easy to drive around and cars arent expensive just look around for prices, rent from somewhere local to where your staying nornally cheaper than airport,

Wonderful location right on Muri Beach. Facility offered free kayaks and sup boards. We used the kayaks twice to reach the motus and do our snorkeling closer to the reef. Room was very spacious and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Getaway

The beachfront villa is very nice and the location is very convenient. The villa is verry spacious, modern, clean and the bed is very comfortable. I hired a car to give the flexibility to get up and go whenever and wherever I wanted to go. There is a bus pickup every hour available out the front between certain hours I travelled on my own and everything about my stay was perfect

Great Place in Muri Beach

We loved this place. Quiet, with very personable service and a great view of the ocean. Staff even went out of their way to arrange a coconut opening demonstration. Although we didn’t take advantage, there was access to all sorts of beach/ocean equipment and the property was within walking distance of several restaurants and bars. We were also grateful for the free WiFi and optional streaming services.

Unique spot on East coast of Rarotonga. Free use of kayaks on lagoon, snorkels may be broken or difficult to match your size. Only one TV channel! Ideal for disconnecting from the world.
