Outside landscaping was well kept and the unit clean and tidy.Nice to have two verandahs to sit at depending on the wind. The unit was within walking distance to Te Vara Nui cultural show, Muri Markets with bus stop at the end of the right of way and Muri lagoon at the other end of the drive.A 24 hour Corner store was 1 minute walk. Couldnt access the microwave or dryer as they were both 6 feet off the ground.TV reception wasn't the best . Overall we enjoyed our stay even though it was very gusty for the first few days of our holiday.

The bungalows are a great place to stay, the convieniance of being close to the night markets and shops and Restraunt is a bonus.the location to the beach is within 100 ft. The bungalows are clean and very well maintained. The only bummer is the water pressure and water flow was never consistent, our hostess Tia always responded to our phone calls. The maintenance workers were very kind and welcoming. The people in Cook island always happy smiles and friendly. I would recommend this place for sure.

Cute little place for a short or longer stay.

We stayed for half the day for a layover before we flew out of RAR on the Island and needed a place to relax and take a shower before flying out at Midnight. I was really grateful to get a last minute booking here and they were very helpful in communicating with me and made it easy to get in once I was there. The only downside was attempting to find the property as there isn't any sign along the road indicating that the property is at the end of the side road. The property was literally a little house with everything you would need. A kitchen a little dinning area, bedroom, and a bathroom.

Great location and facilities and contact with owner and ‘staff’ was very helpful. I think the property needs, what I would call, a deep clean and it’s looking a bit ‘tired’. Would recommend for couples or younger families (we stayed in 2 bed unit)

Beautiful stay with the best possible service.

The accommodation was lovely, with a perfect location right by the beach and lagoon. There was so much activities to do within walking distance, we didn't need to hire a car. The service provided by Tia and her staff was fantastic, she was so friendly and helpful, she made our trip much more enjoyable and stress-free.

great spot

just stayed one night before moving into the 2 bedroom. Pick up from the airport was ok, however we had to wait an extra 30mins for other people who were staying at another property and after travelling all day it would have been great to get the private transfer that we paid for. Room was clean and hosts were lovely. 100 meters to the beach and lagoon. lots of options for dinner and of course the muri markets 4 times a week with more food options. we caught the bus which is easy , and comes every hour.
