We absolutely loved our stay at Muri Villas - it’s perfectly located in a green garden, super clean, quiet and only a short stroll to all Muri attractions. Mii is an outstanding host and made us feel welcome at all times. We‘d love to come back!

Perfect for our family. Beautiful deck and surrounds.

Nothing! Was great

Well equipped wee unit. Very comfortable. Great location. Perfect for our needs.

Bed in 1st bedroom is very firm, 2nd bedroom more comfortable. Tame dogs & wild chooks roam everywhere on the island, which didn’t bother us, but crowing roosters & barking dogs woke us up from 3.30am every morning. But this is the same everywhere on Cook Islands & you can’t escape it, so I recommend bringing earplugs & don’t sleep with the bedroom windows open.

We loved relaxing on the huge covered deck & enjoying the breeze plus views of the hills. Both bedrooms & lounge have screened windows & fans. We didn’t need to use the aircon in the lounge. Set back from the busy main road, but just a short walk to the bus stop, Muri night markets & the lagoon. A 24 hr store with a great takeaway food counter at the back was just around the corner. Our hostess Mii was lovely to deal with. Great unlimited WiFi. Reasonable price. The washing machine (with washing powder) & covered clothesline on the deck was a bonus, which we used most days. We loved our stay in the Hibiscus villa & we had all the facilities we needed. It’s not 5 star luxury but it was great for us.

Only the fact that air conditioning was only located in the one room, would be good in living area however there are fans provided so you can get some airflow.

Huge deck, all facilities that were required for stay including bonus of a smart TV, impeccable location, beds were comfy, amazing host.

Nothing - it was great.

We stayed at the stand-alone Muri Bliss Villa, right next door to our hostess. It was spotlessly clean and well - equipped. Mii had even left fruit juice, as well as milk and water. The bus stop was just at the end of the drive, and we were in easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. The beach was only 5 minutes away. We would definitely return.

Unfortunately, we had a pretty terrible sleep most nights because of the many roosters on the island all screaming their lungs out from 4 -6am, a couple of which roamed right outside the window. They seem to be all over the island so I don't think anyone can fairly hold the owner accountable however I think it's important to know before you consider a stay here.

This place was clean, had all the amenities we could need for a self sustained stay. The host very kindly had a fruit platter prepared for us upon check in which was a very sweet touch. There was also some milk and orange juice in the fridge which was a welcome sight when you first arrive and haven't found the local shop yet. I think this place was great value for money, only 2-3 minute walk to the beautiful beach and was close to all the other main attractions in Muri (shops, markets etc.). Lastly the inclusion of aircon was a welcome feature at night and it worked without any problems.

Our entire stay was wonderful. The unit was beautifully furnished and perfect for our stay in Rarotonga. Great little kitchenette with mini fridge. Comfortable beds and ample storage should you wish to unpack for your stay. The place has a deck where we enjoyed having breakfast or you could dine at the picnic table at the front.. Great location too - an easy walk to the night markets, koka lagoon cruise, cafes and restaurants. I would highly recommend staying here. Thank you Mii, for your warm hospitality - it made us feel at home. We'll be back.

The shower temperature was hard to control. Communication with the owners was slow and intermittent sometimes.

It was well appointed, comfortable and close to all amenities and the beach / lagoon. The welcome pack was great. Fruit bowl, fruit juice and milk with all cooking condiments provided also. Overall one of our very best holidays.

Wi-Fi poor but was not their fault as island has Wi-Fi issues anyway… dropped off and on but not being on phone was good when on this kind of trip! 😊

Bright, clean and had everything you need for self catering. Very central. All nightlife nearby and bus stop 2 minutes away. Beach 5 minutes away. Also air-conditioning worked well and meant we slept well 😎

I have no issues with the place. Our family were very happy with the accommodation.

Location and size of the home. Sleeps 5 comfortably.

The tiny ants, but this is probably just an island thing. Not a reflection on the house. (Just need to remember to empty the bin in the morning)

Fantastic little house, perfect location and great host.

The wifi was not working but the owner is looking into it (:

Loved the location, right on Muri beach and a 24hr convenience store, and that the kitchen was fully equipped

Nothing, it was perfect!

We loved the front and rear decks that overlooked the property gardens, it had aircon and was clean and wonderfully kept. The host Mii was gorgeous and gave us fresh fruit and bits on arrival. The location was brilliant and we had the best time!

Nothing really, Good value for money.

Loved the location, 24 hour shop, Captain Tamas Lagoon Cruise, Muri Markets & the beach is literally down the driveway, you can absolutely walk there. If you stay at any of the villas you’re able to hire a car at a very reasonable price through Mii your host. Went with my 4 children & found it very handy, 3 bedroom house itself is very spacious, tidy & private with all the amenities you’d ever need, including towels.

Nothing, this place is perfect, I couldn’t recommend it enough, don’t give your money to big corporations or resorts, support a local business and a local family and stay here. You won’t regret your decision

Beautiful views, peaceful, clean, modern, comfortable. Mii is one of the best hostesses we have ever stayed with, very kind and friendly, always leaving a bag of fresh tropical fruit for us to come home too after a long day snorkelling and exploring the beautiful island. The wee studio we had was perfect, it had a smart TV with Netflix to unwind with in the evenings and the internet was fast and reliable for the odd bit of remote work I did.l whilst on holiday. Everything was clean and modern, such a beautiful place to recharge and rest from the business of life back home.

Nothing at all, cannot fault it!

The location, walking distance to Muri beach and night market/cafes. Great spot!

Nothing

Very easy access to Muri beach but very quiet even when Muri is busy. Great views and decks to enjoy them from. Good air conditioning, cooking facilities, spacious, welcome fruits and water, and host very helpful.

Maybe chicken crowing will be a problem. But it doesn't matter to me. The whole island is full of chickens, so nowhere else can be better.

The space is enough for a small family. And Good location, just 2mins to beach. Good price for staying. Clean and you could grab the fresh fruits by yourself in the yard.

There was nothing I didn’t like

Everything about the property was nice

Stayed in December 2023

I'm someone that's very particular and need communication to be as clear as possible and everyone on the same page but should you come to raro, be prepared for casual communication and laid-back attitudes which is something I didn't know I needed. It was actually very stressful for me because I just want things sorted ahead of time BUT actually dealing with Mii once I arrived in raro, was real nice and casual and ended up being a wonderful, breezy experience so even though I didn't like that part, it turned out awesome regardless.

Venue is absolutely beautiful, close to night markets and overall just a great place to stay. Was so sad to leave the house. Mii was very considerate when we arrived and basically made sure we were enjoying ourselves. Nice and clean facilities in general. loved the AC!!!

Wonderful host. So lovely and provided us with a welcome pack on arrival which was very handy.

Everything was amazing so handy to everything we had planned to do, such a beautiful house that has everything included. We loved our stay here and plan to book in future wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else. Highly recommend and the host is lovely
