Beautiful setting with amazing views, good communication throughout the booking process. We just loved it.

The property was in a perfect location - easily accessible to busy Muri beach. We could kayak across to the islands and enjoy snorkelling there, or just enjoy the abundance of sea life right off the jetty. Accommodation was comfortable and we had everything we needed for our stay. Staff were so friendly and helpful.

Perfect get away

Great location, right on the water at the mouth of the estuary. Jetty was great for fishing or jumping off. Beware of the current. Big apartment with all the essentials you need. Kayaks n snorkel gear for free use, nice pool n hang out area. Friendly staff, close to Muri centre.

Hidden Gem

You'll not find a more genuinely friendly, helpful, and amenable accommodation host on the island than Desiree; she truly goes the extra mile to make your stay special, and that makes this a 10/10 stay. The studios are generously sized and well-appointed (with AC), the pool and pool seating is perfect to relax next to, and the free kayaks life jackets and snorkel gear make it super easy to explore the lagoon. Walking distance to the Muri markets is a great bonus, easy bus access to everything else on the island. We would not have changed a thing, and we wouldn't hesitate to book here again.

Waterfront beauty, relaxing & peaceful

The location is breathtaking, right on the waterfront of the historic Avana harbour. Complimentary kayaks, beautiful salt water swimming pool & very helpful friendly staff. So laid back & peaceful. Just north of Muri lagoon, we hired bikes for transport. We’ll be back

Had an amazing stay. Having swimming and snorkelling right outside our door was wonderful.

Had everything we needed. Staff were amazing and very accommodating. The pool was an added bonus on those windy days.
