I personally loved being away from the hustle and bustle of the more touristy spots. I am not so sure that my hubby felt the same!!You need a car or scooter - which are cheap as chips. The staff could not have been more lovely - they are superb. I will be back with the grand children.

I liked the view of muri lagoon from our studio and that it was situated off the main road. However, it is not a quiet place to stay as it faces the lagoon and on a windy day (which we had many during our stay) it howled through the studio. Roosters and barking dogs also made it a challenge to sleep. Ear plugs were essential.

Loved the kitchen with all utensils and BBQ area to cook outside. Desiree was lovely to deal with would stay again if we go back.

Very homely, bachy feel..super helpful and caring onsite manager. The pool is pretty small, but the set up around it is fun bright colours, nice BBQ area and a bonfire site. We probably won't book again because the location is right on one of the 7 channels, which are sometimes dangerous depending on the tides...and my eldest kid is a very confident spearo and diver...and didn't feel safe to swim in the water. Though a very dynamic piece of water to look at, and the views are great from your rooms.

Our host made us feel very welcome during our short stay. Room had amazing view and great size for a studio. No beach out front but we just jumped off the jetty into clear warm sea. Great location too within short stroll to village shops. Would stay again.
