Walking distance to all the Resorts, Restaurants and the famous Muri Night Market
The Villa is situated 30m off the road finishing on the 'Golden Mile' of Muri Beach - no roads to cross to get to the beach!
In the quieter South of Muri where the lagoon is crystal clear and the snorkelling is great
The pool is just half a dozen steps from the deck and only shared with two other villas unlike a resort of hundreds using one pool and is usually not used as most guests are on the beach! A large expanse of lush lawns and landscaped areas including our private beach area which is all for you to enjoy, our private setting is one of the last in Muri that hasn't been built out with multiple units or turned in to a hotel -which is why we are so popular!
The Villa is set on a large 3/4 acre beachfront section so no roads to cross to get to the beach
This Villa is so popular and books out well in advance - we have a instant book option so you are ready to go! Since 2011 we have helped our guests to have a amazing holiday experience here and we are on hand if needed to help right through the booking process to when you are here!
Our mini resort like setting is unique to the island and is not 'built up' with multiple units
The many 5* reviews are from guests who have stayed and had a amazing time in the villa.
As 'Premier Hosts' we are help to make the booking process as easy as possible. and a 'instant book' option to get you quickly confirmed ! Since the pandemic we have refined and polished our practices. We work full time to ensure your comfort and the best possible holiday !
Throughout the booking process and during your stay we are on hand to help and only a message away.
As we are living on the island but not onsite we will stop by at some stage to say Kia Orana (hello), other than that we leave you to it - it is your property for your entire stay and we can help as much or little as needed! .
There is a Guest Compendium that tells you everything you need to know, do and see to help you maximize your stay. Before arrival we also send our packed 'guide book' to help plan your stay to take the guess work out of what to see and do - we already know so pass it on to you.
We want you to experience the island and what it has to offer for yourselves and our guests always go back home and spread the word on our little paradise island in the Pacific !

About the host
Hosted by taakoka-muri-beach1
Since 2011 Taakoka Muri Beach Villas has grown to become one of the islands leading ‘private’ self catered accommodation providers with visitors experiencing a true pacific island style of accommodation. We work hard to ensure our guests book, arrive, stay and depart with ease so that all they have to do is relax and enjoy their holiday in paradise - and we help with that too with loads of info, tips and advice well before arrival so that you can hit the ground running, or just arrive, relax and do nothing! Located three and a half hours from NZ in the middle of the South Pacific and set on the ‘Golden Mile’ of Muri Beach Rarotonga this 3/4 acre section stretching from road to beach offers a mini resort like experience for couples, families and those seeking luxury and privacy in their own property, not multiple hotel style units.
Offering private beach areas the section has kayaks, and plenty of lawn and landscaped areas giving a feeling of space and privacy. The Muri Beachside Villa is one of our most booked out properties - its great value to be 5 steps from a pool and a few more to the beach. Muri Beach accommodation can get very expensive and this villa is great value for money to be 30 steps from the Golden Mile of Muri Beach.
As owners we have over 30 years each in the NZ and Cook Islands tourism industry from hotels, resorts to now our own business in paradise. We look forward to meeting you and helping you make your island holiday a amazing one.
