Avana Waterfront Apartments
Room was perfect for a couple. Clean and spacious. Great view of the lagoon. Facilities were good including own kitchen and shared resort pool. Only a 25 min walk to Muri which we did most days. Nearest cafe restaurant was just a 10min walk away.

Avana Valley Heights
Pleasant rural outlook, away from area of bars and resorts, but a short drive to Muri shops, beach and dining. It is a comfortable apartment. The driveway is a bit rough, and I was glad to have got a taxi there, and hired a car next day, as it would have been hard to find in the dark.

The Edgewater Resort & Spa
The breakfast was so good. Staff was so friendly and always smiling. Good energy from everyone. Activities were so fun. Good location and good snorkeling spot. I'll definitely go back.

Muri Motu Outlook
Very well equipped, everything one needed was there. Air-conditioning working well. Easy access to the beach. Took a little effort to get the kayak into the wayer but it was well worth it 😁
