This brand new accommodation is perfect for a stay in Muri. Set a small way back from the main road it's quiet and private but easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, car rental and the beach/Lagoon. Krystina was a fantastic host, communicating quickly prior to and during our stay. The accommodation has a comfy bed, great shower, well equipped kitchen and lovely deck with table and chairs to sit outside. We were also offered access to kayaks and bikes and no extra cost which was a massive plus! Thanks for having us we loved it.

    An absolutely gorgeous spot. Very comfortable villa, wake up and look out at stunning lagoon views. Great to have a BBQ, kitchen and laundry facilities. Lovely staff, the villas and grounds are beautifully kept. Very convenient to Wigmores supermarket and easy walk to a couple of nearby eateries. We loved this place so much we ended up having our wedding ceremony on the beach there!

    Only half an hour walk to town. Easy at low tide or along the road. Lovely setting. We could whale watch from the verandah and go snorkelling from the beach. The Fishing Club is 3doors down and great fun on a Friday night with the ukulele band.
