Lovely stay!
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The home was as described and very clean and comfortable. The location was very convenient to Muri and we loved how quiet the area was. The beach is gorgeous and we had so much fun snorkeling and kayaking out to the motu each day. We also enjoyed the pool and used it more than I had expected. The fresh fruit platter was a lovely touch which we appreciated.

Relaxing by the Beach
We had an awesome holiday. The property is well appointed and in a great location on Muri Beach. The beach was literally a hop step and a jump away with great snorkeling and use of the Kayaks which was excellent. Swimming pool was lovely to if you didn't fancy the beach and wanted something closer ;).. Would highly recommend accommodation. We are definitely planing a trip back.. Thanks...

We loved our recent stay at this villa. It’s in a great position in Muri, is very clean and well presented with everything we needed. (Having a washing machine was a real plus.) The pool is superb. Adam and Sarah are great hosts. A big thumbs up too to the gardener who worked so hard and provided us with pawpaws all the time! Gary & Jilly.

Fantastic stay
The villa is spacious, relaxed and well equipped and was a great base for our trip. Just a 20 meter walk out the door and you are on the beach. Muri is a great area to stay with lots of cafes and the night markets on your doorstep. Thanks Adam and Sarah!

Perfect location
Adam and Sarah were gracious hosts. The villa had everything we needed (2 x adults/ 2 x kids ages 8 & 11). Plenty of room for a car out front, meters to the pool and a short walk to the beach. Muri itself had lots of food options and local attractions, such as lagoon cruises. We would definitely rent here again.

Perfect location in Muri
Exactly as advertised - the house was only a couple back from the beach and a gentle stroll between palm trees down to the water! The pool is only shared with a couple of other places, and so all in all it made for a great little base for us.

Cannot speak highly enough of these properties. Sparking clean, comfortable and perfect for a family with a large lounge area. The pool is lovely and a real treat after lounging on the beach :) Location also fantastic- central to everything and directly on Muri beach. We really really did not want to leave!!
