We discovered this place slightly out of town but still at walking distance where we could enjoy the lagoon with Kayaks or even walking during low tide. We could enjoy the beaches on small islands facing the deck only inhabited by beautiful crabs. #LifeAtExpedia](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6055262/0a7a11cd-31f5-48e4-adf8-e9e0eca68daa.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Avana Harbour 3 min drive \- 2.7 km - ![Sunrise at Cape Tourville, Freycinet Peninsula, Tasmania, Shutterstock ID 439005910, Purchase Order: -](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248621532611404/ed7788f5-79e7-418f-8bad-24f64fde8e9e.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Muri Lagoon 3 min drive \- 3.1 km - ![Muri Beach showing tropical scenes](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6055267/2a662e9a-fcb0-4422-924d-ae96403bf801.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Muri Beach 7 min drive \- 5.3 km - ![Tikioki Marine Sanctuary which includes tropical scenes and a sandy beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6127390/e02911f9-2556-403b-a503-fd0755d9eec2.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Tikioki Marine Sanctuary 9 min drive \- 7.2 km - ![Aroa Beach featuring a beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6142568/e187d45e-74b6-4f0e-88da-69c4de2432fe.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Aroa Beach 19 min drive \- 15.6 km ### Getting around - Rarotonga (RAR-Rarotonga Intl.) 18 min drive ### Restaurants - Tamarind House 6 min drive - Palace Takeaway 10 min drive - Vili's Burger Joint 12 min walk - Ka Kite Cafe 12 min drive - Trader Jacks Bar & Grill 8 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Shine AwayHome-Family Beachfront with Free WI-FI, A/C pet-friendly? ### How much is parking? ### What time is check-in at Shine AwayHome-Family Beachfront with Free WI-FI, A/C? ### What time is check-out at Shine AwayHome-Family Beachfront with Free WI-FI, A/C? ### Where is Shine AwayHome-Family Beachfront with Free WI-FI, A/C located? ## Have a question?
