Everything! Peter & Vaiora were fabulous hosts and perfect with communication both before and during our stay. We appreciated the airport pick up option as well to get our bearings. The villa is much bigger than expected and allowed for our group to have their own space as well and come together. Fresh clean water provided, only a 2min walk to the beach, and everything else you'd need is provided! Also a great bakery at the end of the drive for $2 breakfast treats!

We opted to get the air con on for 4 nights at the end of the trip. Hosts did make it very clear in description that aircon was extra 50 per night. But i would suggest adding it to the overall cost

We absolutely loved our stay here! Great value for money. Great location in walking distance to shops, scooter hire, muri markets & beach. The villa was soo clean on arrival. Our hosts peter & vaiora were the best hosts you could ask for. Easily contactable, went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable. So many handy things available, kayaks, life jackets, games for the kids, containers for packed lunches & a much needed water cooler which they refilled when empty. Our 3year old loved sleeping on the fold out couch. A++ hosts, we highly recommend this villa and would happily stay again

Peter was very helpful and accommodating. Loved the bowl of tropical fruit on arrival. Our plane didn't take off until 4 pm. We were able to check out later. The villa walking distance to small shops and night market for dinner and the lagoon.

There was nothing to dislike.

Loved the location and the space itself. A one minute walk to the beach and all Muri has to offer a wee walk up the road. Lovely hosts and the welcoming bowl of beautiful tropical fruit was delicious and lasted our stay.

I will take ear plugs next time, as unfortunately local roosters are very vocal through the night. Not used to that noise, but just a minor thing for all tourists to be aware of.

Location and the space and great facilities in the villa were all fan

Might have been good to have the heat pump for air conditioning, but found that the house remained comfortably cool with the ceiling fans going and windows open.

Host personally welcomed us and went over everything. Brought us a local potato salad dish the next day and to check if everything was good. The house was bigger than what we had imagined from the photos. Definitely better than expected, the water cooler and WiFi hotspot was handy. The local shops at the end of the driveway were much cheaper than NZ dairies and the bakery was excellent.

Only a minor suggestion - The ceramic tiled floors are very clean and tidy, but a little harsh underfoot. A soft rug in the lounge would be nice.

Great location, private but close to a small beach and shops and eateries within walking distance. The outstanding feature of Vaiora Villa is the spacious, well furnished rooms which is important since with the hot and humid climate one spends much time indoors. Peter and Vaiora went out of their way to make us welcome.

The fact that we had to leave it and go home eventually ;-)

The villa was absolutely perfect for us! Just a short walk from Muri village and night markets, plenty of space for our daughter to run around outside, super close to the beach but also good that it was out of sight so not tempting for her to run away ;-) The house itself was perfectly clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts were also super friendly! It was really handy having the kayaks available too so we didn’t have to rent them.

The owner was waiting for us and there was fruit for us on arrival. The house was well equipped and comfortable. They resolved issues that came up (the washing machine was not working properly) and were happy to give advice.

Travelling close to Christmas a few of the local restaurants/supermarkets were closed but we survived!

Absolutely beautiful home so close to the most beautiful beach perfect for young children safe and shallow with clear turquoise waters. Home was comfortable and spacious with excellent amenities. Hosts were kind and friendly. Our kids absolutely adored it and my son will forever be talking of the big crabs at the bottom of the garden! Highly recommend and would definitely stay again! 😊

Cock crowing all the time

Very clean, large two bedroom house. Handy location, two houses away from beach, large and tidy yard. Surrounding holiday houses, it is good one. Very good house owner, ganerous, a large plate welcome local fruit, star fruits, papaya, banana, so lovely, especially they delivered a salad, so special and yummy.

Lovely hosts, they do that bit extra to make your stay great. So handy to lagoon, cafes, night market, bus etc. Everything you need

Stayed in May 2022

The only complaints we’d have is no wifi for those that need it. We enjoyed being without it! And the roosters that crowed all night long! Nothing ear plugs won’t fix though!

The property was clean and tidy. Perfect for our family of four. There was a filtered water cooler supplied and a washing machine and drying rack which was very helpful. I would definitely recommend paying the extra for the air con if staying in the warmer months as it gets very hot inside. The communication from the owners was superb.

Very comfortable place, well equipped, beautiful location 10 steps to the beach. Stream in the garden with fish and eels, friendly chickens. The owners were really nice and helpful and extended our stay no problems

We were met at the house by Peter who gave us the keys and explained things about the house. The hosts also supplied a fabulous fruit bowl (bananas, passionfruit, and paw paw) and two drinking coconuts in the fridge. We really appreciated the fruit and coconuts as it had taken ages to get through customs and we were so hot and tired. The villa looked exactly like the photos and there is lots of room. The kitchen has everything you need which was great. Dvd's available and we loved using the kayaks. The beach is really close and we had such a great time. The location is great, as lots of really good cafes close by and the Muri Night Markets are a 10 min walk. We will be back!!!
