Muri Shores

Dear Krystina, it´s been a few weeks now, since we´re back in Germany and back to normal work-mode. But every now and then, we think of our great 6-week-journey to New Zealand, which ended with a special treat at Muri Shores in your litte paradise on earth. Traveling to New Zealand was the fullfilling of a long dream and it truly was an experience of a lifetime. To be honest, the "icing on the cake" was our stay at your accommodation on Rarotonga. We would like to thank you from our hearts for the wonderful stay, the beatiful beachvilla, the perfect housekeeping and very warm welcome. We enjoyed it to the fullest and had the chance to visit Aitutaki, the nightmarket and the local museum. We loved kayaking in the lagoon, having a swim right infront of the villa, soaking in the relaxed vibes of the island or simply waking up in the morning with that georgous view. Thank you guys so much for this true little paradise. We´re sure, we will re-visit New Zealand in a few years and when the time comes, we will definitely visit you again at Muri Shores. :-) We wish you all the best, keep up the great work and enjoy your little paradise. We´ll recommend you to everybody we know and who are planning a trip to Cook Islands. Thanks again. Best regards from cold rainy Germany, Christian and Thomas

What fantastic accommodatoin and location. We had a wonderful two weeks in one the lagoon view villas and it was everything we wanted and more. A warm welcome note and lovely fresh fruit bowl. Great food options for those meals we didn't cook - Muri Night Market and the Sailing Club. Wonderful coffee from The Fix (now serving breakfast) across the road (next door for a great massage). Lovely outside seating on the deck and plenty of loungers available on the beach. Thanks for Krystina and Eugene for this wonderful spot to escape too.

Arrived at Muri Shores, was not disappointed, the bungalow was beautiful and certainly as described, the view took my breath away, a tropical paradise without doubt, facilities were great, small kitchen, nice bathroom and wonderful lounge area with a large double bed, the decking outside offered fantastic views of the lagoon and we spent many ours just looking out over it, private beach area with sun loungers, free kayaks and bicycles, just perfect, fantastic value for money, some of the other places on Muri Beach were 3 time the price, a big thanks to Krystina and Eugene who popped in to see us and make sure everything was ok, they arranged the airport transfers for us which were flawless both ways. The gardens were immaculate tended to by Albert and Edna. Nice cafe and bakery, a small supermarket and the fantastic night market literally behind the bungalow serving some wonderful food, plenty of activities including Lagoon cruises, swimming with turtles and rays, great bus service around the island and car hire nearby. We will certainly return here when back in New Zealand Highly recommend

I have stayed at several accommodations on Rarotonga over the years and I can safely say that Muri Shores is my favourite. Prompt and friendly communication with owners Krystina and Eugene. Excellent location at the centre of the beautiful Muri beach. Close to restaurants, tour operators, the night market, cafes and convenience store. Super clean villa with very comfortable bed and everything you need to enjoy your stay!

Ahhh Muri Shores is heaven on earth. The location is perfection. The accommodation is perfection. The perfect place to fly, flop and relax. Watch the sea turtles from your balcony, morning swims, midday swims… swim all day. Can’t wait to return. We stayed late Jan 2024. The service from staff was incredible.

We spent 4 idyllic nights at one of the Muri Shores villa's (which we realised was a much too short a stay!). The hosts were absolutely fantastic thoughout- both with communication before & during our stay, organising a swift taxi to & from the airport & popping in during our stay to check everything was OK. The villa is well equipped & the view from the veranda & the bed are dreamy! We found it difficult to pull ourselves away from just sitting there & savouring the tranquility. During our stay - we barely saw anyone else - other than folk walking past on the shoreline. It feels like you have the beach to yourself. We walked around the shore line in both directions and honestly feel the villa's are located in the most beautiful part. It is also brilliantly located for using the local bus, a 24/7 convenience store & a number of different eating options - including the night market (which we did sample - but felt it was worth paying just a little bit more at one of the beach side restaurants). Loved the enormous walk in shower & the air con was superb. Can fully understand why all the reviews here are 5 star & why people keep coming back! Memories of a lifetime! Thank you so much.
