“A wonderful relaxing holiday with all the comforts of home.”
Spacious family home with beautiful gardens and a deck to enjoy. Well equipped kitchen and extras like games, books and themed with the pineapples for a bit of fun. A immersion into Cook Island life with a menagerie of rosters, chickens, chicks, dogs and cats visiting the yard, the full island life experience!

“Excellent home away from home to experience paradise”
We loved our stay at the House of Pineapple! Its got a lot of space, very comfortable and a beautiful garden. The kitchen has got everything you need and more, its very well equipped. The home is located in the middle of Muri, close to the beach, bus stop and cafes/restaurant. You haven't got sea views but the chickens, roosters and dogs give plenty entertainment and it had a big deck in full shade (there is a side deck with the sun on it).

“Excellent stay. We’d recommend staying at the House of Pineapple, particularly for self catering”
The House of Pineapple was a great place to stay. It was really well equipped with everything we needed for a self catered holiday. The gardens are lovely and our toddler loved the chickens and finding passionfruit in the garden. The house was very spacious and clean

“Thoughtfully presented slice of paradise”
Beautiful house and gardens with loads of friendly local animal friends. Are Ara really stands out for how incredibly well-appointed it is. The facilities provided far exceeded the usual bare minimum setup that you usually find at holiday homes. Great location and easy walk to Night Markets etcc

“A comfortable home! Felt like our home away from home! Tha”
"I had a fantastic experience during my stay at this property. The amenities were top-notch, and the overall cleanliness exceeded my expectations. The property itself was lovely and situated in a great location in Muri. Amy, the host, was amazing to deal with. Her responsiveness and assistance with any queries made the stay even more enjoyable. A special mention to her trustworthiness – I accidentally left my jewelry at the property, and Amy went above and beyond by promptly delivering it to my mother-in-law. The attention to detail in cleanliness, from sheets to pillows and mattresses, truly stood out. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much, Amy, for your exceptional hospitality!"
