    Not a thing! The only improvement would be a sign to identify where the bungalows are when arriving as it was a bit confusing since we hired a car.

    Such a beautiful bungalow! Plenty of privacy from other homes. So spacious inside and out. Plenty of facilities.

    The bed is a bit soft for both room, would be great if could upgrade the bed in the near future :)

    This bungalow is right in the middle of Muri beach, close to 3 different car rental, walking distance to supermarket/take aways and Muri beach and Muri night market. Liana is the best host👍She not only provide outstanding service but also let us know the activities around the area. Liana tried her best to accommodated us even when I called her late in the night for additional blanket and towels, she actioned to it really fast. Hassle free check in, the bungalow got everything we need for our short stay! Thank u for having us Liana, we enjoyed our stay very much,will see you again in the near future.

    Was very hard to find in the dark when we arrived! Would be good to have a sign at the end of the driveway!

    Loved this accomodation. Very clean and tidy, amazing having air con in the bedrooms. Very central in Muri Beach, walking distance to a lot of food places and beaches! Also a car rental place at the start of the road was very handy. Right across from the night markets too!

    There were quite a few dogs and cats that (although cute) hung around, and were begging for food when outside. Felt like you couldn't sit outside and relax while eating as they would paw you/jump up on outdoor furniture.

    Great place set back from Muri Lagoon, we had bikes and it only took a couple of minutes ride down the road before we were at the beach. Staff were very friendly, and the opportunity to store bags at a local resort made things much easier when flying out at night.

    It's a very nice property. Not much to dislike. It catered very well to our needs

    The very clean, self-contained bungalow is spacious. We were in bungalow 2. The beds are probably the most comfortable on the island and the shower is amazing. It had a washing machine outside and you can hook up your netflix account to the TV to watch movies. The property itself is about a 5-10min walk from a couple of Rarotonga's must-do's: Island car and bike hire, Koka Cruises, LBV cafe and the Muri night markets. You could probably walk down to Koka Cruises and access the beach there as well as hire a kayak or SUP from next door. The person we were dealing with even had us drop our stuff off at another hotel nearby before we checked in so that we could go on our cruise. They dropped our luggage off later. Very accomodating

    This property is well set up with everything required for the stay.

    The stepping stones from parking area to the house steps. Stepping stones closer together would have been a whole lot better and easier. The dog and cat constantly sitting at our door and hanging around, nuisance. Yes, we shooooed them away, but they wouldn't move off. The shower entrance having to step over with no safety handle to hold onto, possible slipping hazard. No rubber bathmat for shower floor, again, slipping hazard. Use of non slip floor tiles throughout is a hazard, should have used a matte floor tile. Not having a proper clothes line to hang up washing. Lounge setting, kept slipping away when standing because of the slippery tile, hazard for anyone who is not steady on their feet.

    Location to Muri. Modern and clean look. The property was/is great with everything required for our stay. Presentation of property inside and out is great. A lovely feel to the property.

    Fantastic property, we had 2 bungalows for a family group. Bungalows well appointed, everything you will need. Beach towels, umbrellas. Staff very responsive if you need something. There are 2 kittens (black & white) live next door with the Mama Dog. Please feed them. Cat rescue (Paws & Claws) down the road know about the kittens. Please help them with food.

It was everything we could of asked for and more definately was beyond our expectations x also the staff were super friendly and whenever we needed something fixed they went above and beyond for. We are grateful to have such an awesome team look after us whilst we were in the Cook Islands ❤️ we will definately be staying here again !

    Great location! Far enough from main road to be very quiet. Less than a 10 minute walk to Muri Night Market, cafes, stores and buses on the road. Only negative, could use a new toaster, but not a deal breaker! Overall a great stay. Love Raro!!!
