We stayed at Magic Reef for three nights on the second half of a quick weeklong trip that took us first to Aitutaki and then back to Rarotonga. In short, Magic Reef was exactly what we had hoped it would be. The bungalows are large, clean, private, the kitchen well-equipped, the outdoor showers were great, while the units have a/c... More

We spent the last five nights of a 15 night Cook Islands holiday at Magic Reef in one of the Absolute Beachfront bungalows, B1, and it was fantastic. It was the most expensive of the three beachfront bungalows we stayed in (one in the south of Rarotonga at the start of the holiday, and another in Aitutaki), and I was... More

When we arrived we found the hotel's beach was littered with quite a lot of broken glass. We were warned to keep our bungalow doors locked because there had been a robbery the night before we arrived. While the pool was lovely, it needed cleaning and the surround needed maintenance, the wooden surround was coming away in places and rusty... More

Had a wonderful 4 nights at Magic Reef and very impressed. Gorgeous private bungalows, wonderful pool, peaceful and relaxing. Lovely friendly staff, friendly cat also :) Was with my mum for some much needed time out, probably more a honeymooners place but totally lovely nonetheless.

Friendly staff and relaxing venue. Great honeymoon location. A little room for improvement (minor issues with the cleanliness of the pool) but otherwise good value for money. Nice sense of independence due to the bungalows being separated, and outdoor shower areas were really unique. Staff were fantastic and helpful. A brilliant stay and would definitely recommend to others.

We spent a couple of days at the Magic Reef during our honeymoon and after a 21 days travel across NZ. Our bungalow was located just in fron of the sea shore. The view of the sea, the reef, the palms was awesome. At the back, wild nature, hills and forests... amazing. Inside the bungalow you can fing anything you... More

We stayed in late october 2012. We were picked up very late at night from the airport by the friendly temporary managers Rod and Jo. They were so very nice and helpfull. We woke up in the morning to the sound of the sea in the background against the reef. we were in a cute bungalow at the rear of... More

Truly a gem. Quiet and very well kept. The resort has the pool that is themed in the style of a ship! It is not to be missed, and a great place to cool off. The bungalows also had an outdoor bath and shower which was truly luxurious. The beach is nice. But bring reef shoes! Many of the beach... More

We just had our wedding at Magic Reef. We could not have wished for a better venue. Magic Reef is one of our favourite places in the world. Everyone could not have been more helpful. They let us do what we wanted to do for our big day. We had 60 guests and booked out the entire place. The staff... More
