The property is walking distance to EVERYTHING in Muri including the famous Muri Night Market, all the deli's , cafes and restaurants, resorts and day trips and activities yet the house is 50m off the road so when you've had enough action for the delay you can retire to the house and deck and soak up the lagoon view

Perfect
The property and location were even better than we expected. The view was stunning and the layout of the property and grounds made it super private. The snorkelling was amazing around the motu and the house had everything we needed. Loved having the beach as our "road" to walk to the little shops, night markets and cafes. Perfect holiday in a perfect spot.

Awesome place
We booked a full week here and was everything a couple could want. Location location location. Right on the beach with beautiful lagoon waters right out your door. The fish life was spectacular and the catch and release fishing out near the reef was over the top good. Adam and Sarah were great hosts and when we came home one evening to find the solar water heater spraying the roof they had a guy fixing it in a thunderstorm!! Book this place!!!

Absolutely Perfect!
I agree with previous reviewers that it is the best property on Muri Beach, which is arguably the best location to stay around the island. It was very clean, the bed and pillows were comfortable, and we loved looking out at the water. It was only my husband and me but it would be a great place to take the kids, or for two couples. The private pool is great – no sharing with others like at the resorts. Adam and Sarah were very responsive to any questions and provided us with an amazing fruit place and other welcome essentials in the refrigerator. The property was very accurately represented in the online photos. A car is not needed, we rented a scooter, and the bus is also convenient. We used kayaks or SUPs every day and walks down Muri Beach can’t be beat. We went during low season and many bars and restaurants had discounts and happy hours. RSC (Rarotonga Sailing Club) Beachfront bar, Beluga, Charlie’s are worth checking out. A day trip to Aitutaki was one of our highlights and well worth the time and money. If you are coming to Rarotonga, don’t look any further.

Beautiful villa right on the Muri beach.
Lovely place with everything one needs for a perfect tropical holiday. The garden & swimming pool are immaculate. All amenities are top class, feels like home. Fantastic experience after 18 minths of lockdowns! All you need to bring is yourself and swimsuits. Muri beach at the end of the lawn is just magical. Having access to kayaks, paddling boards and snorkelling gear is excellent. Only couple of things- the top floor bathroom needs a proper door and it would be good to have couple more warm blankets for when it gets chilly.

A perfect holiday
We have just returned home from a wonderful stay at Taakoka Muri Beach Villa. We enjoy a bit of at home cooking and dining whilst away on holiday and this place is so well kitted to accomodate this. It really has everything you need to be able to relax (private pool A++) and enjoy all Muri beach has to offer (use of kayaks etc). Adam and Sarah are great hosts and it truly was a perfect holiday for us. 10/10 will be returning to Taakoka! :)
