    Uru was a lovely host and very responsive. The apartment was very comfortable and had all the necessary equipment for a comfortable stay. It was very close (in walking distance) to Vili's - best burgers in Raro and the convenience store. If you like sunrises the view is beautiful from the backyard!

    No pool, BBQ The kitchen is a heating kitchen not ideal for cooking a meal as there is no oven

    The view from our villa and great staff Easy to drive around the island and visit other beaches Great exploring the beach when tide is out Markets in town are great, and talking with the locals is interesting learning about where the food comes from and ideas Enjoyed Bite Time eating hut at the markets

    Wifi was a bit of an issue - in the detailed information there is a note that it is available at additional cost. I ended up buying an ESim which worked fine but the reception within the villa is pretty average due to the heavy concrete construction.

    The Deluxe Villa is a large space and was immaculately clean. It looks out over a deck to the beach about 25m away. The beach and the lagoon has a rocky coral surface and the sunsets are spectacular. The open sea breaks on the reef at the edge of the lagoon which is about 50m wide. The villa faces due west and the coast at that location is quite exposed in an easterly wind which is prevailing for part of the year. There are plenty of restaurants nearby if you have a car or bike - if you are walking then Muri is about 2.5kms away. There is a great coffee and french bakery a few doors to the south and opposite that there is a small superette, gas station and Villis Burgers - all quite useful. About 2km to the north is Love Coffee which is a pretty good cafe.

    The room was a bit big, and a lot of free space. A number of loose fittings, which we highlighted to the maintenance staff.

    The ease of knowing where the key was and allowing us to enter by ourselves. Due to an issue with our payment card, which we we're able to sort, no pressure to completed. Wonderful hosts.

    Not easy to navigate for non locals, Google took me to the local football club. Had to call the Canadian number I assume the landlord who then gave me the number for the lady who helped me inside the apartments , wasn't sure what room I was in had not been specified prior arrival.

    Lovely accommodation, beautiful views! You can hear the sounds of the ocean at night which was very theraputic. House was absolutely stunning had everything we could have needed! I enjoyed every minute of our stay. Affordable and just as pictured! I would stay here again. Lady (unsure of name I apologize) was super kind and inviting!

    The Tv sound wasn't great so we shifted the couches closer. you will need to hire transport or use the buses

    The highlight was the whales I could see from my bed!!! Great views, really close to the sea, not suitable for swimming but beach walks OK. Snorkling and swimming a short drive or busride away. The house had 3 very large double bedrooms with 2 large ensuits and dressing rooms. the third bedroom used the main bathroom. Huge living area and a kitchen almost like a commercial kitchen. Everything you could need. downstairs were 3 double bed flats which looked very big. A family or wedding group could book out the whole property. We were upstairs and didnt hear any downstairs guests. We had a lovely big verandah providing sun shade, and from the rain. Also good for drying racks. There was a washing machine and dishwasher. An excellent array of DVDs were available as well as a good selection of novels which we added to. It was an internet hub so we just had to buy time from the vodaphone shop at the airport. we rented a car at the airport but you can also rent motor scooters. One of us rented a push bike as well and had fun riding round the island. Highly recommend this property. Room for 3 couples or in our case 2 singles and one couple. The shops down the road in walking distance, were excellent. A supermarket, a petrol station and a great fast food place with the best hamburgers - great prices. Not far further down the road was a great pizza place. There were evening meals available about 4 nights a week at the Muri beach market. And the main town market is so big you could spend half a day. we arrived early to get fruit, stayed for pancakes/waffles and had a great look around.

    That we couldn't stay our whole trip and had to move. Couch could do with softer squabs. Wish bed was where couch is facing out to sea - that'd be magic.

    Great location, excellent view of the ocean, clean and comfortable, good cooking facilities. Excellent toilet and shower. Great outdoor deck. Saw a whale breach.

    Just felt it could've had more in the way of kitchen things, no platters , no scissors, only 3 chanpagne flutes and 3 wine glasses. For a house that could accommodate that many people it should have more for the self cataring aspect. and the cupboard doors fell off in the kitchen.

    Lovely clean spacious accommodation, great view, that deck is amazing. Loved having such a big house, my daughter and her bridesmaids all got ready at our accommodation, so it was perfect. Excellent they let me have an extra bed for my sister who stayed 2 nights and the lovely hist popped in to say hi as well.

    The home was lovely and spacious, the only thing worth noting was there was no A/C and just had ceiling fans which in the heat of the day did not cool the room down much.

    The villa was lovely with a private deck looking straight onto the ocean. The location was also good, with a shop just across the road. A fully equipped kitchen was much appreciated as we were there for a full week.
