Was a great place to stay. Nice to be away from the crowds of tourists. Plenty to do with the pool, canoes etc - there is a lot more sea life in the water than further up the lagoon. Desiree was so helpful and accomodating- nothing was too much trouble. The cleaning staff were excellent and very friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

Very spacious studio apartment with all cooking amenities. Full size fridge. Had everything you needed. 1.5kms walk to Muri beach. You can swim off the jetty. Great base for exploring. Off the main road and great view of the ocean.
Desiree is amazing. Would definitely stay again.

Our room was clean, quiet and private with great access to the lagoon, beach and pool. A 2km or 20 minute walk to all the facilities in Muri, we hired a car and could park at our door.

Studio unit was fully equipped with all cooking utilities needed, towels and toiletries also provided, bed was comfortable and room was a great size. Staff were very friendly and happy to help with any questions. Wifi was only avaliable in the pool area. They have life jackets, snorkles, flippers and kayaks you are able to use, and every unit has an outdoor shower to rinse off under. Lovely place to stay.

This was our second stay at Avana Beachfront Apartments with manager Desiree and friendly staff. The studio has all the amenities , and a wonderful view of the lagoon from the deck. It’s close enough to Muri restaurants, stores and the night market to make it easy for dining options and breakfast coffee. Had a lovely time paddling in the kayaks and swimming in the pool when the weather was windy. Friendly, helpful staff who do their best to make sure you get a wonderful holiday. We loved our 2 weeks here and look forward to returning .

The scenery is stunning, and the accommodation is excellent. The staff are especially warm and attentive, making the stay very enjoyable. The only downside is that the air conditioning doesn’t cool properly, making the room quite hot. If this could be improved, the experience would be perfect.

Lovely pool, clean and tidy. Desiree is very helpful.A great understanding lady. Any problems, see her. The studios are very clean, tidy and have electric ceiling fans, heat pumps and gauzed sliding widows.. Apartments are literally 10 to 15 meters away from the beautiful lagoon. Would definitely stay there again. One word of advice. Anyone taking a DSLR Camera to Rarotonga take a CPL Lens filter. Just to take the ripple effect off the water when windy.

We had an upstairs room that was large & comfortable with a balcony ,bed was good plenty of chairs ,the view from the deck was good although impaired by trees which could do with a bit of thinning out , beach & pool were good & closeby. plenty of choice with kayaks single & double with great paddling to the nearby Island & round the lagoon although launching was hard at low tide on the stones . Allthough advertised with air conditioning
we found on arival it was an extra cost per day because of expensive power.however we had an enjoyable time at this location.
