The rooms are functional, spacious enough and spotlessly clean. Our first room had a large bathroom,...

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely fantastic property right on the lagoon. Clean rooms, attentive staff, free continental breakfast, free laundry on site, nice massages on site, comfy beds, right on the water, free kayaks and snorkelling gear from the hotel. Two min walk to a 24 market. Very convenient location overall right on Muri Lagoon. Would absolutely stay again."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Tupapa Tapere?
The best time to go to Tupapa Tapere is during the dry season, which runs from April to November.

Families travelling with children will also appreciate the dry season.
