Excellent space. All we needed was there. Communication clear from the start. Loved the pool, the crabs, the eeels, the little bridge to the lagoon. The bar, the beds, the furniture and the little cleaner lady was quiet, unobtrusive and very efficient.

Holiday Stay

Amazing house, perfect for a family getaway. We had so much fun with the swimming pool, and using the pool tables and dart board. Easy to get to the beach (very interesting watching all the sand crabs) and food options all in walking distance. The house was clean and the host was very attentive. We really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely stay again.

Absolute Bliss

We had a fabulous stay arriving late at night to house ready and waiting with lights on, fans going and clean fresh sheets.all facilities and equipment was as advertised (except the outside TV). A Wifi extension and possibly dishwasher for downstairs would be recommended. We will definitely return with a similar sized group and we were so impressed with the prompt communication with Sisi.The location was very central and close to most attractions and supermarkets/restaurants.Our last recommendation would be that the upstairs was lockable you to secure our belongings as the key didn’t work and we couldn’t even lock it from the inside.

Perfect private home for the week

This property was perfect for our group of friends, plenty of space to spend time together in any weather. The pool table, dart board and pool were a hit! Having multiple entertainment areas meant we could have some downtime if needed. Great location just a walk away from the markets, tours, restaurants and beach. The private walk to the beach gave us so many opportunities to see all the crabs too! Would definitely book this again and have already recommended to family groups.

Family getaway

We had a great time at this property. The swimming pool, pool table and darts was a real hit. Love the bridge over the creek as it was nice to keep an eye out on all the eels and crayfish. Quick walk to the beach with nice snorkelling and easy access to the small Islands. Layout of the house was perfect for 2 families with separation top and bottom.

A Nice Large Family Home

The location cannot be faulted. The facilities and amenities are comprehensive. The property is very comfortable. It is however showing signs of wear and tear and some renovation and re-decorating will take this from very good to outstanding.

The house was amazing, even better than we expected. Enough bathrooms/bedrooms for all 9 of us. The 16 & 10yr olds really enjoyed the pool as well as the pool table and darts areas (which were enjoyed by all adults). The poolside bar, BBQs, so many choices on indoor and ouddoor dining areas that fitted us all and relaxing outdoors. Location was superb, had our own beach, we walked to restaurants, for groceries, for entertainment but did have a rental to ticky-tour around. Even had a laundrette on our doorstep although there were laundry facilities at the house. Can't thank Sisi enough for being such a brilliant Host. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting the perfect holiday. Many many thanks. Doug and Linda Gordon

Great location

We enjoyed our stay, but the property is ageing. Air conditioning would be very helpful at night or working ceiling fans in bedrooms as was very hot even with the noisy pedestal fans. It was much better staying there than a cramped resort room. Not sure how you can keep the ants or cockroaches out maybe a spray could help, keep all your food and fruit in the fridge, guess thats one downfall of living in the tropics. The lounges were old and musty but comfortable. The pool was refreshing. The showers were showing mould and old. It could be an amazing property with a few renos completed. The decking areas were lovely we had a few games of pool, although their was only one stick with a tip on it. That's a quick fix. Sisi was very helpful with our questions asked, and was quick in her replys. It was a quick walk to Muri night markets, food only, and Muri Beach. Although we did swim in the beach at the back of the house as well. The local people were amazing and its is very, very safe in Rarotonga.

family of 11 at Muri Beach home

The home is separated into 2 rentals, upstairs and down and we rented both and had plenty of room and home came with everything required. The owner came over a couple of times to check the pool when it was cloudy and to bring extra towels when requested and also provided a late check out which was very, very appreciated. The home is ideal for families with kids who love to swim as the lagoon is only a few hundred meters away and we could walk or swim or snorkel to a deserted island the kids called crab island for obvious reasons and we spent hours there most days. The home is also located within walking distance of everything you need, we walked to small convenience stores for simple food and drink supplies, walked to great eateries, walked to the fantastic cultural dinner show and more. We also kept a 15 passenger van parked there as well as 3 scooters we had rented for the time we were there and parking was easy and secure. We love the homes where the owners have it stocked with games, movies, food items previous renters leave such as spices and condiments and this home had none of those but maybe some renters don't want these things? A few cushions for the plastic pool chairs would also add to the comfort but these are just minor suggestions, the home is great and we would definitely consider staying there again.

Spacious, clean and conveniently located

TC is an impressive well presented home and we were in awe the moment we turned the corner of the drive way. The house is spacious and well ventilated. All 4 rooms were clean and tidy and their ensuite bathrooms was handy. The pool bar, billard table, darts board was great and brought us all together. And the yoga mats and foam roller allowed for stretching! The little bridge over the creek to the private beach area was perfect for morning reflections. It is located about 10 min walk from the Muri Night markets AND the 24 hour store which was convenient. Sisi was professional, quick to reply and accommodating to my requests. Photos do not do it justice! Highly recommendMeitaki maata Sisi!
