We loved our stay at Te Vakaroa! We had an upstairs two bedroom villa with an awesome view across the lagoon to the ocean… walk out the front past the pool and your on the sand and swimming! Two bedrooms, two bathrooms upstairs, another toilet down stairs with a washer and dryer.. big lounge area and balcony.. right next door to the sailing club with cafe bar… a short walk to the pacific resort or nautilus where we went for food and cocktails… Awesome location and we are booking again for next year, loved it!

Liked: Communication
The hotel’s location is great, with convenient transportation and many good restaurants within walking distance, especially with a night market right next door. However, the hotel’s facilities are quite outdated, and the cleanliness of the rooms is average. There is even a leakage issue with the ceiling. The breakfast options are limited, making the value for money quite average for the price. Not highly recommended.

Absolutely loved our stay here. The villas are modern and clean. Only 6 in the complex so does not get overcrowded. Daily breakfasts delivered to our villa were superb - fresh fruit, muesli and even choc croissants!!! Beach few steps away, lovely pool, and spa. Washing machine and dryer if you need it, night markets short walk away. Poko and Nick were fabulous hosts. Poko even allowed us a late checkout which was greatly appreciated. Our stay was not long enough and cannot wait to return.

great location in muri

This place is really nice, people are great and the facilities top rate. The only reason for a 4 not 5 is that it is small and if it is full than you are vulnerable to the antics of your neighbours. We had 2 nights of the 3 we stayed here with only one other couple and the place was wonderful. The 3rd we had a group of 10 mates arrive keen to party which was fun to watch for one night but would have frayed a little if we had stayed on. The good news though is the rooms are very quiet even when it is going off round the pool! If you want privacy seek an upstairs room. If you want direct access to the pool go downstairs.

Luxury in the perfect location

If you like small, private holidays with all of your home from home comforts (possibly with a little luxury thrown in too) then Te Vakaroa Villas is perfect. Conveniently located for the night markets, boat trips and cycle hire you can be as active or as inactive as you want Nick and Poko have it covered

Perfect location right on the beach.

If you are planning a vacation in the Cook Islands this is the place to be, right on the beach in beautiful Muri lagoon. Our villa was well equipped and spotlessly clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. Even though we rented a car in advance we were met at the airport, helped with our luggage and guided to the villa. There is plenty of entertainment and good restaurants in easy walking distance. All in all a perfect Cook Island experience.

Awesome Locations. Wicked Pool!

We just spent 4 nights here on our mini break. The staff are friendly and helpful. We had a 1 bedroom villa and it was beautiful. We were underneath a 2 bedroom villa and we could here the people above us walking around so if you are a light sleeper it may pay to pack some ear plugs just incase. I was worried about the pool being really cold after reading the reviews but it was beautiful. It is cold but perfect on a hot sunny day to cool off. The spa pool was great and nice to relax in while the sun goes down. Breakfast was nice and light. It was perfect for the 2 of us to have a mid winter break and would highly recommend.
