In the quieter South of Muri where the lagoon is crystal clear and the snorkelling is great

A large expanse of lush lawns and landscaped areas including our private beach area which is all for you to enjoy, our private setting is one of the last in Muri that hasn't been built out with multiple units or turned in to a hotel -which is why we are so popular!

Very well equipped house and location was perfect. Host and site managers very easy to contact if needed and the location is excellent for attractions and eateries in Muri. Pool was a bonus and lots of information on the local area in the property. Highly rated
Lovely house close to the lagoon and great local eating places. Not too close to the main town.
Thankfully there is air conditioning in the bedrooms and fan downstairs.
Great house close to the beach. We where two adults and kids (6 and 9 years). The kids loved the pool. House was spacious and had everything needed for a great holiday. Would stay here again anytime. Thanks Sarah and Adam.
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The home was as described and very clean and comfortable. The location was very convenient to Muri and we loved how quiet the area was. The beach is gorgeous and we had so much fun snorkeling and kayaking out to the motu each day. We also enjoyed the pool and used it more than I had expected. The fresh fruit platter was a lovely touch which we appreciated.
The whare was great, enjoy the facilities that it provided. Thanking you very much. Our only thing was a clothes line, separate from the other villa. Provide a clothes line. Othan then that the house was good to stay for the duration we were here.
Amazing amenities, the villas very clean and the hosts provided a few home treats! Lots of local information! We loved the salt water pool and had enjoyed having the use of a kayak. Close to alot of great restaurants and cafes also so a fully usable kitchen Will definitely go back to Adams and Sarahs Taakoko Muri Beach Villas
What an amazing villa, gardens were beautiful, hosts were great. Loved the lemon bread and fruits provided on arrival. Perfect location and the lagoon at your backdoor. We will be back.
Fabulous location, beach and pool on your doorstep. Villa is well appointed and has air-conditioned bedrooms, a big plus! Adam and Sarah are excellent communicators and hosts. It's our second stay here, definitely not our last. Thanks
The villa is spacious, relaxed and well equipped and was a great base for our trip. Just a 20 meter walk out the door and you are on the beach. Muri is a great area to stay with lots of cafes and the night markets on your doorstep. Thanks Adam and Sarah!
We loved the location (right by the best beach in Raro, with great snorkeling and safe swimming), the managers (cheerful and helpful), the amenities (pool, air-conditioning etc) and the cleanliness.
Exactly as advertised - the house was only a couple back from the beach and a gentle stroll between palm trees down to the water! The pool is only shared with a couple of other places, and so all in all it made for a great little base for us.
2 Couples stayed for 10 nights in this very well appointed property. Great pool and so close to the lagoon at Muri.
We have already rebooked for our next trip.
Thanks so much Adam and Sarah
Adam and Sarah were gracious hosts. The villa had everything we needed (2 x adults/ 2 x kids ages 8 & 11). Plenty of room for a car out front, meters to the pool and a short walk to the beach. Muri itself had lots of food options and local attractions, such as lagoon cruises. We would definitely rent here again.
We had an awesome holiday. The property is well appointed and in a great location on Muri Beach. The beach was literally a hop step and a jump away with great snorkeling and use of the Kayaks which was excellent. Swimming pool was lovely to if you didn't fancy the beach and wanted something closer ;).. Would highly recommend accommodation. We are definitely planing a trip back.. Thanks...
We loved our recent stay at this villa. It’s in a great position in Muri, is very clean and well presented with everything we needed. (Having a washing machine was a real plus.) The pool is superb. Adam and Sarah are great hosts. A big thumbs up too to the gardener who worked so hard and provided us with pawpaws all the time! Gary & Jilly.
Cannot speak highly enough of these properties. Sparking clean, comfortable and perfect for a family with a large lounge area. The pool is lovely and a real treat after lounging on the beach :) Location also fantastic- central to everything and directly on Muri beach. We really really did not want to leave!!
