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 1 min walk \- 0.0 km - ![F70NJ0 Beach with palm trees over tropical water at Muri lagoon, Rarotonga, Cook Islands](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248621532611404/4089e2d1-66c9-4db4-a32a-b8bf27e36362.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Muri Lagoon 2 min walk \- 0.2 km - ![Te Vara Nui Village featuring indigenous culture](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6311846/9e38c9dd-871d-4eaa-b0e8-27f4246248fd.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Te Vara Nui Village 5 min walk \- 0.5 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 14 min walk \- 1.2 km - Muri Night Markets 9 min walk \- 0.8 km ### Getting around - Rarotonga (RAR-Rarotonga Intl.) 29 min drive ### Restaurants - Tamarind House 11 min drive - Palace Takeaway 14 min drive - Vili's Burger Joint 4 min drive - Trader Jacks Bar & Grill 12 min drive - Superbrown Take Away 8 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Does Mangavai Bungalow have a pool? ### Is Mangavai Bungalow pet-friendly? ### How much is parking? ### What time is check-in at Mangavai Bungalow? ### What time is check-out at Mangavai Bungalow? ### Where is Mangavai Bungalow located? ## Have a question?

House spacious, shower pressure great, A/C in master bedroom good, kayaks and snorkeling gear avalible,pool cleaned daily Just some updating and maintenance would be a great improvement But for a beach house serves purpose. ##### Elizabeth Helen Stayed 12 nights in Jan 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicole Jun 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Comfterable hourse and We were very close to everything needed. House needed a few things fixing but that didnt stop us from enjoying our stay. ##### Nicole Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Annemieke May 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Muri is a lovely location but if you hire a car or a scooter every place is just as convenient as another. It all depends on what kind of service you want. ##### Annemieke Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Linda Aug 31, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication While it is amazing that you’re in front of the muri lagoon, the bungalow at the back is very run down, the window up stairs is broken and rotten and won’t close, the air con is broken and won’t turn off , the cleaning was sub par, looked like it hadn’t even been wiped, the advertised washing machine is broken, there is no paddle boards as advertised and only one leaking kayak that sinks AND there is only one deck chair that is so broken you cant sit in it. We still enjoyed our stay and it was suitable for a family but could certainly use some improvement. The pictures do not accurately portray where you’re staying, fine if you’re not too worried. ##### Linda Stayed 9 nights in Aug 2025 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Jane Aug 26, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Hugely disappointing. Our holiday was compromised by grossly misleading and false images of the property. The bungalow is poorly maintained and presented. Meantime it should be relisted with accurate photos that represent its true condition and contents. The Fair Trading Act “prohibits traders from making misleading claims, meaning that the property must be as it was advertised to you when you booked”. This was not the case. All issues have been directed to the owner and Expedia for attention. A refund request is pending. ##### Jane Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2024 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Cabin Rentals Fairbanks](https://www.expedia.ca/Fairbanks-Cabins.d1190-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [The Cooks Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-The-Cooks-Oasis-Holiday-Villas.h4166939.Hotel-Information) > - [Club Raro Resort – Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-Club-Raro-Resort.h2434054.Hotel-Information) > - [Dvara Siruvani](https://www.expedia.ca/Coimbatore-Hotels-Dvara-Siruvani.h18712028.Hotel-Information) > - [bestwestern Hotels in Trenton](https://www.expedia.ca/Trenton-Hotels-Best-Western.0-0-d10615--bBestWestern.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [JJ's Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-JJs-Retreat.h16715716.Hotel-Information) > - [The Passage Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-The-Passage-Villas.h5180358.Hotel-Information) > - [AUBERGE EN ARDENNE](https://www.expedia.ca/Les-Hautes-Rivieres-Hotels-AUBERGE-EN-ARDENNE.h91184762.Hotel-Information) > - [B&B Solvang](https://www.expedia.ca/Solvang-Bed-And-Breakfast.d9797-aaBedAndBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Hotels in Downtown San Jose del Cabo](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-San-Jose-Del-Cabo-San-Jose-Del-Cabo-Hotels.0-n800063-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Natura Beach Pool Villa 2](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-Natura-Beach-Pool-Villa-2.h25779229.Hotel-Information) > - [Golf Hotels in Morningside](https://www.expedia.ca/Morningside-Salem-Hotels-Golf-Hotel.0-n553248635976471305-0-tGolfHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Village Pierre & Vacances - Moliets](https://www.expedia.ca/Moliets-Et-Maa-Hotels-Village-Pierre-Vacances-Moliets.h914001.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Healy](https://www.expedia.ca/Healy-Hotels.d113906.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Sunhaven Beach Bungalows](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-Sunhaven-Beach-Bungalows.h23942602.Hotel-Information) > - [Makayla Palms](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-Makayla-Palms.h26518112.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > - [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Ludhiana (LUH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/luh/toronto-to-ludhiana) > - [Flights from St. John's (YYT) to Miami (MIA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyt/mia/st-johns-to-miami) > - [Flights from Palma de Mallorca (PMI) to Mississauga (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/pmi/yyz/palma-de-mallorca-to-toronto) > - [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to North Charleston (CHS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/chs/toronto-to-charleston) > - [Flights from Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to Mexico City (MEX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/mex/edmonton-to-mexico-city) > - [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Salt Lake City (SLC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/slc/calgary-to-salt-lake-city) ### Cars > - [Car rentals in David](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-David.d500195.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > - [Lincoln Park Zoo](https://www.expedia.ca/Lincoln-Park-Zoo-Lincoln-Park.d6065147.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > - [Visit Vyšné Nemecké](https://www.expedia.ca/Vysne-Nemecke.dx553248635973483965)
