Surrounded by tropical gardens, Muri Lagoon View Bungalows are just 5 minutes’ walk from the Muri Beach waterfront. Each of the self-contained bungalows features a balcony offering partial lagoon views.

Kia Orana really enjoyed the lovely location, just down the read from wonderful cafes and restaurants. The spectacular Muri Beach was so delightful, I lived here 20years ago and used to train in the waka up and down Muri, just delicious to be back and catch up with family and friends in Raro and Aitutaki. Really appreciate your bungalows, Slipped over on the outside wooden ramp, needs a good water blast, went to have a hot shower but no hotwater, tried to txt, but no answer, I will absolutely reccomend this facility we had a fabulous time, just a few things to rectify and it would be just perfect.

An absolutely gorgeous spot. Very comfortable villa, wake up and look out at stunning lagoon views. Great to have a BBQ, kitchen and laundry facilities. Lovely staff, the villas and grounds are beautifully kept. Very convenient to Wigmores supermarket and easy walk to a couple of nearby eateries. We loved this place so much we ended up having our wedding ceremony on the beach there!

    Very welcoming hosts Alex and Andy not forgetting Max boy 🥰 Andy was at the Villa on our arrival and showed us around the property with some fresh fruits on the kitchen counter. Very spacious rooms, great hospitality and beautiful view/scenery all around. Great location with literally less than a min walk to the beach and shop 2min walk and they also have kayak available to use which was amazing experience for the kiddos. Thank you very much for hosting us, will 100% recommend and return again 🥳

    Nev our host was so Welcoming Our Bungalow was perfect, looks so much better in real life then in the pictures I saw on Booking.com. The absoloute best part of the island for Snorkling, we saw Turtles🥰 Breakfast for a few days was covered which was so nice, fresh fruit, cereals and bread with spreads. Nice and quiet, appart from the Roosters and dogs. We thoughrly enjoyed our stay here and encourage others to do the same. You have your own kitchen so you can cook for yourselves instead of eating out.

    Dor was a lovely host who made sure we were comfortable and settled in. Went above to make sure we were set up with our basics and fresh fruit/water. The Villa has everything you need for a short or long stay. Super clean and comfortable, we felt right at home. We loved lounging by the pool outside or inside with the aircon if it was too hot. Great location close to town and Muri! 10/10 would stay again

    A beautiful place for family & friends to stay. Great location, quiet & everything we needed. Fantastic host Lara who is very friendly, helpful & informative. Having a family pet around, Summer, made it feel like home. She is a lovely dog. We loved our stay & wished it could've been longer!

    We liked the pool and especially liked the spa. Our 4 poster bed was the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in. The room was very clean. The breakfasts were awesome, as was the generous serving of fresh fruit at breakfast. The host was awesome. Decent wi-fi was very cheap. The staff went out of their way to help us.
