    Amazing location, best spot on the island. Absolutely beautiful outlook, with a great pool, and then the lagoon just beyond. The lagoon has decent snorkelling, with us seeing turtles just in front of the property. All staff were super friendly and helpful, room service was great too.

    Breakfast was very basic for the price paid. Probably expectations were to see a boutique hotel or standalone villas, but none of them was right. When stated 'entire villa', one should read 'appartment with separate entrance'.

    Location - Muri beach- is great, building is well positioned and next to the beach. Enough room for all the activities, only bedroom could have more daylight.

    Captain Tama’s cruises (next door) were noisy but they have a fun vibe and wasn’t as annoying as I expected!

    Location was perfect. Best area on the island. Stunning beach, safe swimming, great snorkelling. The villas are very spacious and solid. I had been worried about noise as shared walls but none at all. Breakfast was delicious and loads to eat. Host/staff attentive but not obtrusive. Very relaxing break.

    Nothing! Everything was amazing.

    Absolutely loved the location on Muri Beach, it was close to coffee shops, local dairy, Muri night markets and popular food restaurants. We also loved being able to use the paddle boards throughout our stay and relaxing by the pool to a beautiful stunning view. To top it off, the staff were incredible and always available to answer any questions we had. Tui was absolutely awesome and easy to deal with throughout our stay.

    Te Vakaroa Villas was immaculate, clean, well appointed and had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable. Add to this the property is sitting on prime real estate on Muri beach with lovely views of the lagoon. The pool was wonderful and the grounds always looked cared for.

    For the cost of accommodation at the higher end there should have been complimentary airport transfers (we stayed 6 nights). Our friends stayed in much cheaper accommodation which provided the transfer. There was a discrepancy with the information provided on the booking.com website which I was told on two occasions would be dealt with however it was not.

    The breakfast was a bit repetitive. A variety of pastries would have been nice so each day was different.

    The facilities in-house were fantastic including the washer and dryer in your unit, sky TV for those rugby games, and paddle boards available. The weather was sometimes average (middle of winter) so the heated pool and spa meant that we still swam, and the unit had loads of space to read uninterrupted (indoor and out). Being only 6 Villas in the complex it felt like you were in your own paradise.
