The Cook Islands, spread over thousands of kilometers of the Pacific Ocean are famous for their magical coral reef lagoons providing safe warm water for swimming and snorkeling year round. Daytime temperatures here are usually between 25C and 30C with breezes from the Trade Winds for most of the year.

The location was perfect, just 5 minutes away from a beautiful beach. The accommodation was comfortable and had all the necessary to be self sufficient. The hosts were very nice and helpful.

Leanne, United Kingdom

Amazing! Everything was good. Kitchen was well equipped, bed very comfortable and everything was nice and clean upon arrival. I had messaged the host a few times before we arrived and she was always friendly and quick to respond. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Beth, United Kingdom

Self contained apartment was great, the hosts were awesome, very responsive to emails before we arrived and arranged transfers for us. We didn’t make full use of the kitchenette but it had everything you would need and more. Close to local beach but not to main areas such as the town or Muri. TV and hard drive with plenty of movies on for quiet nights.
