We had an upstairs room that was large & comfortable with a balcony ,bed was good plenty of chairs ,the view from the deck was good although impaired by trees which could do with a bit of thinning out , beach & pool were good & closeby. plenty of choice with kayaks single & double with great paddling to the nearby Island & round the lagoon although launching was hard at low tide on the stones . Allthough advertised with air conditioning we found on arival it was an extra cost per day because of expensive power.however we had an enjoyable time at this location.

The scenery is stunning, and the accommodation is excellent. The staff are especially warm and attentive, making the stay very enjoyable. The only downside is that the air conditioning doesn’t cool properly, making the room quite hot. If this could be improved, the experience would be perfect.

I personally loved being away from the hustle and bustle of the more touristy spots. I am not so sure that my hubby felt the same!!You need a car or scooter - which are cheap as chips. The staff could not have been more lovely - they are superb. I will be back with the grand children.

I liked the view of muri lagoon from our studio and that it was situated off the main road. However, it is not a quiet place to stay as it faces the lagoon and on a windy day (which we had many during our stay) it howled through the studio. Roosters and barking dogs also made it a challenge to sleep. Ear plugs were essential.
