"Love the Onemaru Villa although it needs a bit of a slight upgrade and collection of rubbish would be nice. Great villa though for large families. Sadly did not enjoy the restaurant meal at all."

Fantastic location right on the edge of the spectacular Muri lagoon and plenty of kayaks, SUPs, goggles, snorkels available for guest use. The restaurant does excellent breakfasts and dinners."

"I highly recommend the Coral Sands Apartments. With just a 30 sec walk to the beautiful beach where you can swim, kayak or snorkel. Or the pool right outside your apartment for those who want a more secure option. Friendly and extremely helpful staff who go the extra mile to ensure you have a wonderful safe. Brent and Eve are super super lovely. Loved having my name on the door as we entered too. I will definitely be coming back soon"

"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. "
