We chose Muri beachcomber because of the location and boy, were our expectations surpassed. Our room was so close to the water we could see turtles cruising past!
Great facilities and vibe without the volume of people at some of the larger resorts, truly a place that we were able to unwind.
Highly recommended for the location, facilities and service.
We stayed in a lovely garden unit. We had direct access to the beach and it was next door to where the lagoon cruises departed. We were in walking distance to a lot of nice restaurants. The property had bikes and snorkelling gear available to use.
We had an amazing stay at Muri Beachcomber. Although the accommodation is looking a little tired, it was so comfortable and absolutely perfect for our stay. The location was also perfect, right in the heart of Muri and close to everything we needed.
From start to finish, the communication and dealings with the were fantastic. The recommendations and information they sent through before our arrival were also incredibly helpful and made everything so easy.
If you’re looking for somewhere to stay in Rarotonga, I would highly recommend Muri Beachcomber. We loved our stay and would happily return!
We enjoyed our stay at Muri Beachcomber and can reco.mend it for its closeness to the ocean, great walks along the beach, close to restaurants and night market next door.
Sadly for myself and my husband we were unable to manage the steps down to the beach so would choose a close walk next time but we wish the access was closer so we could come again as Muri Beach is really excellent.
Shelly was so lovely, nothing was too much trouble! Beautiful grounds and surroundings and so central to everything in Muri! Thank you for making our stay memorable.
Can’t beat the location! Staying right at the waters edge with boards and kayaks ready to use. Good cafes a short walk. Snorkelling with turtles in the lagoon. We’ll be back.
Great place to chill at your own pace, close to a lot of good places to eat. Ideal if you want to go to the food markets or glass boat tours.. Our 2nd time staying there 😀
I had a really enjoyable stay at the Muri Beachcomber. I was met at the airport on arrival, which made everything easy from the start. The few interactions I had with the staff were excellent — everyone was warm, helpful, and welcoming.
My room was in a great spot, with the beach and amenities just steps away. It made it really convenient to relax or head out for a walk. I also loved the restaurant across the road; the food there was consistently good and added to the overall experience.
A very comfortable and hassle‑free stay.

Staff really good. Proximity of room to beach front great
We found the property perfect for a family holiday, great location and the facilities were in excellent condition. Very friendly staff, we would happily stay again next time.
I loved our little unit that was our home for 8 nights. The view from the deck over the lagoon was amazing, and there are plenty of activities in a close range as well as a variety of places to eat. Caters for all needs I think.
