This is our second time staying at Muri Vaiiari Cottage, and obviously we love it. Perfect place to stay when you want to truly unwind and relax. Quiet and private with everything you need for a couples getaway. Close to Muri and the beach, cafes and restaurants when you don’t feel like cooking. Great hosts , would highly recommend.

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.

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!

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

A perfect little home away from home
A wonderful place to stay and relax. Had everything that we needed and a nice addition finding a supply of goodies in the fridge on our 1am arrival. Mere and Jean are fantastic hosts and Mere makes an awesome curry at the night food market! Would love to return sometime

It was a piece of paradise
We stayed 14 days in this lovely Cottage and resume: It was a piece of paradise. The Cottage is perfect for a couple and you will have everything what you need. The garden and the Cottage was totally clean and we feeled good and enjoed every day. Muri is the best Spot where you can stay on the Island. You will find Restaurants, bars, shops, Museum, hire stations and the best place to snorkel or realxing on the beach. As well you will find the Muri Night Market with a lot of local delicous food. We can recommend this place for 100% and hope we can come back on one day.. Thanks for all!

Honeymoon perfection
This wee home is just perfect. Fully equipped kitchen, huge sunny deck with a gas BBQ. Easy travelling distance to the night market and the beautiful beach. Two fans to keep the unit cool at night and insect screens on all the doors and windows. Highly recommended.

So relaxing
A great spot close enough to walk to Muri beach and the night markets, yet far enough away from the hustle and bustle.
A very clean, beautifully presented studio that is quiet and relaxing.
The owners are magnificent hosts

Everything you need!
We had such an amazing stay, would definitely recommend this accommodation! We stayed for over a week and the house had everything we could have needed. They have really thought about all the small things which makes it a wonderful and easy stay. It was so handy having a fully equipped kitchen, as well as a laundry. Such a great space for a couple as there is a secluded deck out the back aswell. Mere and Jean Marc were wonderful hosts which we were very grateful for. Make sure you try out their amazing curry at the muri night market. Location is a short walk to muri, but we hired a scooter which we could do in muri also. We hope to be back.

Beautiful setting, amazing hosts, wouldn't stay any where else, this is perfect
Having your own outside space to relax in no one can see you, its private, quiet, close to everything so that you can walk if you like, but far enough away you hear only the sea. The hosts are beautiful people. If you would like to stay in a new, clean, tidy. comfortable, romantic one room cottage, then stay here. I will be back for sure. Rarotonga is magical for its snorkeling, swimming with the turtles, culture and warmth.
Thank you from a first time visitor.
