Lovely garden cottage
Very pleasant, comfortable and clean but it was the very gracious hosts who made it special- friendly and generous. They kept us supplied with gifts of fruit-mangoes and papayas. Close to nice swimming and snorkeling, close to restaurants and grocery shopping.

Relaxing at beautiful Muri Vaiarii Cottage
This little gem is tucked away and totally private with beautiful view of inland Rarotonga. Perfect for a couples getaway with everything we needed to be comfortable. Eddie and Mere are great hosts and really looked after us. Would definitely stay again as the location is perfect by the beach and close to restaurants and shops

A perfect little home away from home
A wonderful place to stay and relax. Had everything that we needed and a nice addition finding a supply of goodies in the fridge on our 1am arrival. Mere and Jean are fantastic hosts and Mere makes an awesome curry at the night food market! Would love to return sometime

It was a piece of paradise
We stayed 14 days in this lovely Cottage and resume: It was a piece of paradise. The Cottage is perfect for a couple and you will have everything what you need. The garden and the Cottage was totally clean and we feeled good and enjoed every day. Muri is the best Spot where you can stay on the Island. You will find Restaurants, bars, shops, Museum, hire stations and the best place to snorkel or realxing on the beach. As well you will find the Muri Night Market with a lot of local delicous food. We can recommend this place for 100% and hope we can come back on one day.. Thanks for all!

Honeymoon perfection
This wee home is just perfect. Fully equipped kitchen, huge sunny deck with a gas BBQ. Easy travelling distance to the night market and the beautiful beach. Two fans to keep the unit cool at night and insect screens on all the doors and windows. Highly recommended.
