Best family holiday

Muri Lodge exceeded our expectations. It was the perfect place to stay for our two families. Excellent location and very private. The living spaces and kitchen were spacious and the pool was a highlight. First timers in Raro and we absolutely loved it. Will definitely be back and would stay at Muri Lodge again.

Jojo was great - and very reassuring - we had very little advice or communication with bookabach host.House was perfect for 11 people - tho two rooms are very small and one had no insect netting so very hot at night. Great facilities (no wifi - hotspot wasn’t discoverable) and awesome pool! (Do come prepared for daily dawn chorus of hens & rooster! Great alarm if you want to get up for the sunrise!) Excellent short walk to Muri and good dining options - highly recommend Beach Hut & Nautilis!

First time in Cook

Stay was great!!! Loved the fact that we could stay in a house rather than resort. Made us feel part of the comunity rather than captured in a hotel room.Easy access to all beaches and had a car to explore all the island hidden secrets.Would definitely advise to stay here

This was a great location and we are very grateful they were able to accommodate us at the last minute when our booked accommodation fell through. It is set a little way up the hill from the beach and, whilst that means a bit of a walk to the sea, it also means it's quiet and has cooling breezes so that AC is not really needed. The house is part way through a renovation but everything functions well, the rooms are great and the outdoor areas are perfect for the family to gather. I would recommend this as a great place to stay in Rarotonga!

Generally pretty tidy, however, one of the bedrooms smelt like a smoker had been in there and the whole house was very musty upon arrival.It was a lovely touch to have fresh fruit available.We managed a late check-out due to late flights which helped with the young children. That was really appreciated.

The pool was perfect with a cute water feature and we spent a lot of time swimming. The kitchen was nice clean, and the complimentary items were great. The alfresco dining area was perfect for our big family. Gardens are beautiful. Bathroom facilities were great. The location is private, clean with beautifully manicured gardens. It is close to many popular amenities like the Muri Night Market, Cafes, and the beach. Our property manager Jojo attended to all and any issues promptly. Jojo is a beautiful spirit and so sweet. This accommodation would be the perfect spot if there was air conditioning but the pool and fans worked for us too. If I had to mention anything, the lounge suite and security could use an update. The accommodation was better than it was deacribed. We loved our stay at Muri Lodge. Meitaki ma'ata, we hope to visit again soon.

We absolutely loved the home we stayed at. The home was clean and tidy. The pool was the highlight for our family of 12 people including children. The kitchen l loved because it was spacious and the indoor grill was convenient to use, and we also used the outdoor BBQ. Everything was in its place. The location was central to everything and close to Nautilus Resort where we had our daughter’s wedding. And l would like to mention a special thank you to Jojo who looks after the place he was so accommodating checking in on us and also making sure the pool required a clean. He was so lovely and friendly. I recommend this place to anyone with a large family. You have the privacy of the home all to yourself. We will book again. Thank you so much for having us.

Our Rarotonga stay

Muri Lodge was the perfect location for our extended family and the pool was in continuous use. We had some complications to our travel dates and the host was very accommodating and we were able to extend our stay. The property is being updated, so some parts are not as modern as others, but it is perfectly fine the way it is. We had some nights we sleep was disturbed by the neighbours dogs, but not every night. Be aware that your booking on this site is in US dollars and not NZ dollars, so there is extra expense in transaction fees. I would stay there again if I have the chance to go back to Rarotonga.

My family of 8 adults and 3 infants stays at this accomodation for 8 nights. We loved our time here and would highly recommend it to big groups. The accomodation was well stocked with cooking equipment, cleaning supplies, games, pool floaties and it had absolutly everything we needed and more. Perfect location close to the swimming spots, cafes and ‘supermarkets’. The location was private, quiet (other than the neighbours dogs but I suppose you get this everywhere) and very clean! There was many entertaining areas and spaces to get away from the family haha. The only thing I would say is my parents had trouble getting through immigration with only the address and accomodation name. Some more prior up to date information about the host would have made this process a lot smoother. However, I loved our time here and we will be back! Thank you!

Some great things, some not so great

Awesome: the pool, the amount of space, great size table for dining, the number of towels provided, owner was ok about us leaving our bags after check out and before we got our airport transfer Not so awesome: lots of things are in need of an update - 1 shower door doesn't shut, corroded shower taps, fan in 1 bedroom clunks, sheets and pillows old and stained, mice in the kitchen, neighbours dogs barking through the night, fridge leaking brown gunk across the floor on arrival. Overall our group loved the stay and loved Rarotonga but would have appreciated some updating and better cleaning.

Great for a large family

We were a party of 7 adults, including 3 couples, and the size and bedroom configuration of Muri Lodge was perfect for us. It's in a great location; just a short walk to Muri lagoon and shops, but far enough away to be very peaceful and private. We used the pool and spacious living area a lot. The beds were comfortable. The property could use a bit of TLC; don't expect a palace. And the proximity of the wildlife could bother some people.
