Koka Villa - on a large 3/4 acre setting ending on Muri Beach - no roads to cross! Read the many recent reviews.

On the 'Muri Golden Mile' with use of a 11m shared pool 5 steps off the deck, the beach, kayaks & golden sand a few more steps away ! Only Muri has four in lagoon 'Motus' to explore and one of them 'Taakoka' is set in the lagoon right in front of the beach, just
head out your back door and 25 or so steps will face you right in front of island on the beach.

You can pay $700+ to be at Muri Beach in such a central sought after location, this villa represents great value for up to four guests staying together for much less.

Explore Taakoka Island (motu) in the lagoon or in one of the kayaks or with the provided snorkel gear.

Central Location - 400m to the famous Muri Night Market, Cafes, Hotels, Restaurants, Water Activities - Muri is the tourist 'hub' of the island !

Muri Beach - the only place to be with everything on your door step ! This family & child friendly two level villa is fantastic value for money on Muri Golden Mile with a fenced pool 10 steps off the deck!

Enjoy the shared pool or take a few steps to our private beach access leading directly on to the famous Muri Beach, snorkel, kayak around the island named 'Taakoka' which is right off the beach ! Only Muri has Motus (islands) to explore and Taakoka is right there when you step off the lawn.

Our setting is walking distance to everything @ Muri including the now famous 'Muri Night Market'

This two level (with stairs) villa has two bedrooms and ensuites both with air con, both upstairs, we can split beds to singles and there is plenty of wardrobe storage .

Downstairs there is a additional bathroom with washing machine. there is a full kitchen including dishwasher, hob, oven, fridge freezer, microwave, BBQ outside and all the cooking utensils needed to cook some tasty island food !

The outside are is private with sun loungers , BBQ, a deck with outside dining and lots of seating. the sun area captures the sun during the day and there are sun loungers to use, the deck is large and great when you need some shade.
The lounge has a tv /dvd player with dvd's and books for use

The salt pool is just a few steps from the villa and is 11 metres long and fenced .

The setting is so quiet and peaceful, the beach is slightly away from the main resorts in Muri so when you walk on to the beach from the Villa it feels like you have the island to yourself!

The pool is just half a dozen steps from the deck, while it is shared it is large and usually not being used. it is fenced so kiddie safe, there are 3/4's of an acre of 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!

There are numerous cafes, restaurants, delis, hotels and resorts, the muri night market and car/scooter hire all a short walk from the villa

A car can be hired either on arrival or pre ordered and collected at the airport. there is a great bus service that runs the circumference of the island every 45 mins.

Scooters and bicycles are also common modes of transport and we can help to recommend either.

The beach has pure white sand and there is excellent snorkelling and kayaking directly off the beach access !

A easy booking process will confirm your booking. we live on the island and are on hand for advice and assistance during your stay.

As kiwi owners we operate a award winning accommodation business and were awarded 'best private rental' in the 2013 Air NZ Cook Islands Tourism Awards and again a finalist in 2016 & 2018. Koka Villa is Cook Islands Tourism Council Accredited for 2024.

We get such great feedback on our villa, it is so popular with families as there's lots of space for everyone. Koka Villa is just perfect for your island holiday so be sure to enquire as it is always so popular and heavily booked !

Look forward to seeing you in paradise! Adam & Sarah

Slice of heaven
The perfect location to enjoy Muri lagoon. The snorkell & masks were provided along with the reef shoes which was great. Amazing fish & so many different types. The insect screens were great. The fresh drinking water provided was great as you can’t drink the tap water. The lemon loaf left for us in the fridge was so kind . Thank you so much, Jenny Lea

Muri accommodation
Perfect spot to stay on Muri beach villa was very dated but presented clean and tidy. The pool is lovely if you didn’t want to spend time in the beautiful lagoon waters. The roosters did drive us nuts but that’s all part of Rarotonga lifestyle.

Did not disappoint
The photos and description do not lie. It was as nice as depicted and the proximity to the beach was great. Our hosts were organized and helpful so the check-in process was hassle-free. I made the mistake of reserving the property a day short of our actual flight departure and didn't notice it until I got a call from the hostess who let me know. Then she offered a last-minute, extra day's rental that saved my bacon. The place is well maintained and we had a great stay!
