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.

Peaceful stay
Off the road so quiet but not too far so still short walk to shops. Studio set up but big spaces. Great (huge) bed and shower. Thanks!

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
