Right across from the beach, perfect for rolling out of the bed and into the ocean. Also right across from several turtle snorkelling groups. A short walk to Wigmore's Superstore and a water tank to refill bottles which was necessary in the heat. Would recommend a car or scooter to get around as it is a little far from the main centres. ##### Te Huinga S.

It had everything needed to be self sufficient and a beautiful beach just across the road that was perfect for swimming. It is on a main road so can be a little noisy during the day but wasn’t a problem at night. The bed was comfy and the shower was amazing. The only thing I could fault is the room that the toilet is in could be a little cleaner but other than that everything was perfect. ##### Sarah R. Stayed 5 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fiona A. 19 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The villa was spacious and equipped with everything we needed. The supply of books and snorkelling gear was an added bonus, as was the washing machine. We enjoyed being a mere 30 steps across the road to a gorgeous beach. As we like to snorkel, the villa was well positioned between two great spots - Aroa beach and Fruits of Rarotonga. We were a bit concerned before we went about the proximity to the road. It could be noisy at times but feel this is reflected in the reasonable price and it didnt impact on our overall enjoyment of the villa. The bedrooms are at the back of the villa, and traffic virtually disappears by 9pm, so we slept well every night. It is less than a 25 minute walk to Wigmores store which was very handy - particularly for their mango sorbet ice creams! Would defintely recommend this villa. Great value for money! ##### Fiona A. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Helen B. 10 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Felt right at home It was just like staying in a Bach in NZ - homely touches like books and games and some swimming gear left from previous families. Loved the plastic kayak too. Yes the road has some traffic, (during the day) but you are so close to a lovely swimming beach and we liked being away from the busyness of Muri personally. We felt really self contained and peaceful in the house. ##### Helen B.

Eddie was very helpful and prompt answering any questions we had and there is a beautiful beach just across the road. We would stay again. ##### Nicole T. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2022 ---
