The house was awesome. Had everything we needed. The weather wasn't kind to us. House leaked in places but didn't disturb our stay. Great location and was great to have access to kayaks and snorkels at the house. Was so handy to bar and eating places plus the small supermarket across the road. Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely home.

We stayed at the Laurie Residence for 5 nights, the views were lovely, the house was homely. Shine was fantastic to communicate with and answered all emails promptly. Close to shops, restaurant etc. use of kayaks was great. We had a lovely time.

A beautiful place to stay and unwind with friends. Close to ammenities and services an a short stroll to restaurants and cafes.

This accommodation was PERFECT for our family. Location is exceptional, facilities on point and our host made everything so easy for us to book and arrive. We snorkelled daily, walked to night markets, wandered across the road for cocktails and had all the privacy a holiday home can offer. The 5 days spent here in our two week Cook Island holiday was the highlight simply because this property was perfect. We will be back again!

The location is stunning - million dollar views. The house is wonderful - there is nothing you'd want that's not provided. The garden is glorious, lush and beautiful. The 4 decks provide for all weather. Mai'i and the shops across the road are great. Laurie Residence is an absolute stunner - you won't want to go home!!

Lovely. Really enjoyed the deck and the view in particular.

We literally clapped when we walked into the house because of the amazing lagoon view. Loved listening to the crashing waves at night, comfy beds, the bachy feel of the house, loads of space, that it had a bath, books to read, pretty gardens, kayaks and snorkel gear. Only negatives were probably the loud bar across the road (but usually finished around 10:30ish) and property said a good dvd collection but it definitely wasn’t that. But we were ok chilling with a book.

Thank you Shine for your excellent communication, and for renting your awesome property to our family. The location and view was amazing and the house was perfect for our needs. We had everything we needed and the house was very private. Also very convenient to some shops and food outlets in Muri. Thank you!

Had a great stay. Very good location and friendly hosts.

Loved our stay at Laurie Residence at Muri Beach. Great position right on the beach where you can swim and snorkel. Easy walk along the beach to other resorts for a drink or something to eat. There is also a cafe/bar (that plays music from about 4pm), convenience store and take away just across the road. The house is well set out and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We never got tired of the views over the lagoon from inside or on the deck. Shine is an excellent host - very helpful and responsive.

Amazing place lots of space well equipped great location absolutely perfect!

This house was perfect for our family of 5. So close to all we needed and a pool just across the road. Very friendly family. Right size for our family of 5, will book again next year for sure.

Snorkeling every day just down from the deck. BBQ on one of the 3 decks each night. Shop just down the road for groceries. Perfect place to relax and chill which is what we were all after.

An amazing space (and lots of it!). Air con in the bedrooms was a nice surprise! Most of the appliances are brand new. A great place to stay - just be aware you do get loud music from the restaurant opposite, but only from 5pm to 9pm, and you can hardly hear it from the back deck and bedrooms. Easy access to everything in Muri Beach. We'd definitely stay here again!

Amazing place to stay, had a fantastic time.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house was immaculate when we arrived, our host had supplied plenty of extras including milk, cereal, bread and more this made our first night there soo much easier. We thank you and we will definitely be back. Highly recommended :) Thank you Shine

Looked at a lot of properties and was drawn to this one right on the lagoon with beautiful views and beach access. Description was accurate, however the house was more spacious than it appeared in the pictures. Lots of privacy as well!! Kitchen was amply stocked (counter tops could use a little updating as they are quite water-marked) and the hostess was very responsive to any of my inquiries. I had a little whoopsie with one of the appliances and she was gracious to fix it in a very reasonable manner. One of the reviews said the bed was a little soft however I found it to be marvelously comfortable!! There's a bar and hamburger place across the street which has great fish hamburgers! Also a small grocery and liquor store a very short walk away. To really get around, I highly recommend a rental car ( at least part of the time) as the bus system can be very consuming. I was a solo traveler and felt safe. The locals are wonderfully friendly and helpful! Snorkeling was good most days, depending on the tide and weather conditions. I tried three different places. Rarotonga has a stray dog issue which can be sometimes annoying or entertaining depending on mood of the day! I would stay here again in a heartbeat! It is indeed a "gem on the lagoon!"

This place was absolutely perfect for our holiday, great location, amazing views, and loved all the outdoor areas.

We had a fantastic time. Hopefully we'll be back sometime soon :)

Very much enjoyed the stay, house and location exactly as described. Improvements could include, an informal welcome visit from owner as well as more information on Rarotonga such as a copy of the free tourist publication Escape. Also more detailed info on how to get wifi working. Fix the sink taps, people expect a much higher standard irrespective of whether they will soon be replaced or not. We also picked up a significant amount of broken glass in front of the property. A general inspection and regular clearance of debris would help. We would happily return in the future, thanks.

Lovely spot, easy walk to lots of lovely restaurants/ cafes. Kayaks were great as fantastic location to get out on the water and lots to see. First time to Rarotonga and absolutely loved it !

Such a beautiful location and property! Came with everything you could possibly need and more would stay here again for sure!! Recommend highly 😊

The location was wonderful, plus lots of good kitchen utensils, plenty of space and good indoor outdoor flow
