Both of us were lost for words when we first reached the property. It was away from the road and quite private. Gwen, the owner, only has 2 cottages and 1 pole house. She lives in another house just beside. She was super nice and welcoming. She spoke to us and told us what was available and what we could... More

We stayed here in Jan 2012. The owner Gwen couldn't have been a nicer host. The location was excellent. We stayed in one of the cabins. Great ventilation, very clean. Nice shower/washroom. Good kitchen with all you need. Her cat and dog were great entertainment too. The area is fantastic for walking and is minutes to either Muri or Fruits... More

We stayed in the pole house. Fantastic location right on the beach with 180 degree views and snorkeling in the lagoon out front. You are in walking distance to shops and restaurants and transport options. Gwen was really excellent and was always around when we needed her to answer our questions - it was our first time on the island.... More

The cottages have to be one of the best ever locations on the planet to have a break. Due to extending my time there I ended up staying in all three accomodation options. All were great, but the beach cottage location can't be beaten. The kindness of Gwen and the generosity of fellow guests went above and beyond any expectation... More

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...

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
