We discovered this place slightly out of town but still at walking distance where we could enjoy the lagoon with Kayaks or even walking during low tide. We could enjoy the beaches on small islands facing the deck only inhabited by beautiful crabs. #LifeAtExpedia](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6055262/0a7a11cd-31f5-48e4-adf8-e9e0eca68daa.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Avana Harbour 3 min drive \- 1.7 miles - ![F70NJ0 Beach with palm trees over tropical water at Muri lagoon, Rarotonga, Cook Islands](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248621532611404/4089e2d1-66c9-4db4-a32a-b8bf27e36362.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Muri Lagoon 3 min drive \- 1.9 miles - ![Muri Beach which includes tropical scenes](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6055267/2a662e9a-fcb0-4422-924d-ae96403bf801.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Muri Beach 7 min drive \- 3.3 miles - ![Tikioki Marine Sanctuary which includes tropical scenes and a sandy beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6127390/e02911f9-2556-403b-a503-fd0755d9eec2.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Tikioki Marine Sanctuary 9 min drive \- 4.5 miles - ![Aroa Beach featuring a beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6142568/e187d45e-74b6-4f0e-88da-69c4de2432fe.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Aroa Beach 19 min drive \- 9.7 miles ### Getting around - Rarotonga (RAR-Rarotonga Intl.) 18 min drive ### Restaurants - Tamarind House 6 min drive - Palace Takeaway 10 min drive - Vili's Burger Joint 12 min walk - Trader Jacks Bar & Grill 8 min drive - Superbrown Take Away 4 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Shine AwayHome-Family Beachfront with Free WI-FI, A/C pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at Shine AwayHome-Family Beachfront with Free WI-FI, A/C? ### What time is check-in at Shine AwayHome-Family Beachfront with Free WI-FI, A/C? ### What time is check-out at Shine AwayHome-Family Beachfront with Free WI-FI, A/C? ### Where is Shine AwayHome-Family Beachfront with Free WI-FI, A/C located? ## Have a question?
