The studio was absolutely perfect for what we needed, the location couldn’t be any better, everything you need is within walking distance (beach, convenience store, food stores and the night markets). The hosts were good communicators and we both appreciated Harry’s efforts. Will definitely be back!!

Great property, great location

We loved staying here. It was a quick walk to great food and the lagoon. The property was a great size for our small family and had a beautiful green outlook from the deck. The bed was super comfortable and the air con in the bedroom worked really well. We would definitely recommend staying here.

This was our first time in Rarotonga and we heard Muri Beach was the place to stay. It was great for the eating out choices with the night markets down the road. just a short walk to the lagoon where we enjoyed walks along the beach with a dog as company and good snorkeling. We booked this place as it had air conditioning which was much needed.

Great location, clean place

This accomodation was amazing and we were so glad we chose to stay there! It’s in the perfect location, 1 minute from the beach. There’s so much to do around and lots of things are in walking distance. The place was tidy and clean with utensils, etc, for cooking. We loved having access to a washing machine to do our laundry. Definitely recommend staying here - we would stay again!!

We booked this bach as we had been told this was THE place to stay on Rarotonga. Having never been to Rarotonga, we were flying blind, but Sians bach was brilliant. The location couldn't be surpassed, close to a great beach, amazing food etc etc. We recommend this place absolutely

Great location

Great shower and air conditioning made this accommodation perfect. The bed is comfortable and the location is private. Well stocked kitchen if you are cooking your own meals. Only request would be to upgrade from plastic to glass wine glass. A mat inside the front door would be helpful.Thanks Harry and Sian. Loved my stay!

Perfect accommodation in a prime location at Muri Beach. So close to bus stop, cafe's, Museum, the Lagoon, Te Vara Nui Village, TEM shopping (food and alcohol including spirits), Captain Tamas Cruise and Koka Lagoon cruise. A few car/scooter hire places close by as well. Property Manager, Harry, was very attentive and available when and if needed. Recommend for couples.

Although first impressions were good the 'batch' is a little tired. Seats could be more comfortable,dining table and chairs too. The view from the deck was not very appealing with a compost heap complete with cardboard boxes in full view. The entire area needs some TLC as it is the only area to sit out in. There is a dangerouse hole in the deck by the door. We were not informed regarding the inability to use the toaster,jug and microwave at the same time . On a positve note it was well equipped,the bed was comfortable. It was in a good location convenient for restaurants and the beach and all other amenities. The museum next door was very handy for coffee and other drinks. The bus stop across the road was a great help. For the price it was good value but probably more suitable for young people. The house in front would suit us better if we visited again.

Ideal accommodation

This is an ideal modern little studio for a couple. Beach across the road and cafes and night food market within short walking distance. Takitimu tapas are amazing! Harry was very helpful and friendly. We were there during heatwave and appreciated air con and fan! Suggestion as discussed would be a blind or outside awning etc over kitchen window as it became sooo hot in there. A great stay. Thank you Harry and Sian

Host experience, amenities and more. In all my 50 years of travelling it was the worst accommodation I've stayed in. When I arrived at the apartment All the windows were wide opened which was very unusual. When the owner arrived and gave me the keys I realised why the windows were all wide opened. The apartment had a horrible musty smell, as though it had been locked up for years. The kitchen, bathroom cabinets and closet when opened emitted the same horrible musty smelI. When I picked up my hat from the sofa where I had put it a cockroach ran out from under it. On several occasions I opened the kitchen drawer to find cockroach crawling over the cutleries. While staying there I kept whatever I used in the kitchen washed and wrapped in Glad wrap or I poured boiling water over them before using them. I found that the owner would go into the apartment without telling me each time I left. I believe he went in to treat the roach and bug infestation, because during my stay there, each morning I woke up after he had been into the apartment, I found the floor littered with dead cockroaches. I knew he had been going in because I would leave the dead cockroaches on the floor when I went out, and return to find them gone. My electric toothbrush and it's travel case were mysteriously broken. My stay in this apartment was made a nightmare by his constant surveillance day and night. He lived above the apartment and constantly banged on the floor day and night. He was a dreadful host.

Location fab, heart of Muri

Even better that the photos showed. Great little studio that was in the heart of Muri but also very private. 2 doors down from LBV cafe and great coffee, across the road from lagoon. Studio was well equipped with everything you need. Easy walking to everything in Muri and Bus stop just down the road. Hired a scooter from Pacific rentals in Muri which was very easy. Overall a fab relaxing stay, highly recommend.

In the heart of Muri

Tamaine Studio is located in the heart of Muri Beach. The studio is in a ideal location, across the road from the beach, and near to restaurants and the night market. The studio is clean, modern, and the kitchen is well equipped, with new appliances in good working order. The bedroom and bath are a comfortable size. The living area is a bit small, but perfectly adequate. There is also a deck that wraps around two sides with an outside table and two chairs. The grounds are well maintained, and the studio was freshly painted. Sian responds quickly to questions and concerns, and Sam is a wonderful local contact for the same. The studio is a perfect place for your Rarotonga holiday.
