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.
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. Kia Manuia. Adam & Sarah
