Paradise
Our stay at this gorgeous location was absolute paradise. It had everything we needed. Fantastic access to a karaoke bar/restaurant, Vibe Cafe, beauty parlour, grocery/liquor store and more right across the road from the property. The view from the deck is breathtaking. Shine was a great host and her communication was excellent. The house is very private which we appreciated. We will definitely be back soon. 10/10!

Highlight of our Cook Islands Holiday
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!

Great house on Muri Beach!
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.
