We had a superb week at Muri Beach Cottages. We are the kind of people who normally like to stay off the tourist track a bit and this has the perfect balance of being at the quiet end of Muri beach whilst in easy reach of all local facilities. We stayed in the basic but comfortable garden studio, which is... More

I did a lot of research on Rarotonga before choosing Muri Beach Cottages, as I had been to Rarotonga 26 years ago and wanted to stay around Muri Beach in a quiet location. The Pole House here was a slice of magic -- quiet, phenomenal views (the deck is RIGHT on the pristine lagoon) and private. I took my mattress... More

We stayed in one of the two cottages here, which was a spacious room with cooling high ceilings, fan, glass fronted sliding doors, large covered terrace to watch the view protected from the tropical sun/rain, a good sized kitchen area with 2 ring gas hob and equipment so you can actually cook and nice ensuite bathroom. There are pretty rocks... More

This is our 2nd visit staying with Gwen at Muri Beach Cottages. A slice of paradise close to the beach and not to far away from the 1st cocktails.... The cottages are clean and well appointed with great views across the lagoon. Always feel that we have come home when we stay here.. We give it a 10/10... More

Enjoyed my stay there. Gwen the landlady was really hospitable and helpful. The location is excellent (the quiet - Southern - end of Muri) with the lagoon and the motu right beyong the palm trees of the property. It is next door to Te Manava Resort, for those wishing to google the exact location. My suggestions: Scooters are practical and... More

We had such a wonderful time at Muri Beach Cottages for the 9 nights that we stayed on the island! We stayed in the Pole House and loved the view and the quaint accommodations. This cottage is small, but is perfect for the honeymooners! The location is wonderful; we rented scooters and went to town many times and actually went... More

We stepped off the plane in rain and it rained for the following week with only half a day of sunshine. Not the best way to see the beautiful lagoon at Muri Beach. We found the location to be quite handy as the cottages were in a comfortable walking distance to a number of restaurents and also the local servo... More

We based our booking mainly on the reviews here on Tripadvisor. We'd decided Muri was the only place we wanted to stay on Rarotonga and Muri Beach Cottages looked like it would be everything we wanted. Gwen, the fabulous owner, responded very promptly to all of our enquiries. After discussion with Gwen we decided on booking the Pole House. It's... More

We loved our time at Muri Beach Cottages, so much so we stayed there twice in two months! The accommodation was spacious for two people and had a table and chairs inside as well as outside on the balcony. The cooking facilities were fine - 2 burners and a microwave - and there was a library of books and games... More

We stayed at Muri Beach Cottages for 8 nights and had an incredible time! We stayed in one of the Cottages, which was located directly above the beach with a stunning view over the Muri Beach Lagoon with its 4 Motu (islands). The Cottage was very good equipped with everything you need for cooking and having a pleasant time. Muri... More
