Muri Beach Studio - built for two guests this modern Studio beats a hotel room on price and space with two private outdoor areas incl a secluded 'sun spot' for sunbathing.

Just steps 20 steps down the lawn to the kayaks, beach & lagoon with Taakoka Motu (island) right in the lagoon to explore with the provided snorkel gear (no fins)!

Value For Money Year Round compared to a Muri Beach hotel room with use of our 11m shared Pool, and just steps to the beach.

Central location 400m to the Muri Night Market

Muri Beach Studio - premium accommodation at an amazing beach front location.
Muri is the jewel of Rarotonga and we are in one of the best settings !

*Compare the price to a hotel room - why pay up to $600 per night?
* SO POPULAR, UNBEATABLE LOCATION & BEACH
*POOL / KAYAKS / PRIVATE SANDY SUN AREA / UNDER COVER OUTDOOR DINING AREA / BBQ / LOUNGERS / COD CHAIRS / SUPER KING BED /AIR CON ++

* SET ON THE 'MURI GOLDEN MILE' of golden sand, and crystal clear lagoon at the 'quieter part' of Muri where you will have the beach to yourselves- really !!

* The Studio is central to 'everything' in Muri including the famous Muri Night Market, cafes, restaurants, water activities - lots of our guests return their rental cars after a few days as you dont need them !

Located in Muri but away from the resorts and bustle, the Studio is self contained and situated on a large 3/4 acre section that starts off a long driveway well off the road and ends on the white sand of Muri Beach

With private outdoor areas, modern decor, Aircon , kitchen, BBQ , super king bed, outdoor dining, a large pool to cool off in, complimentary kayaks and all within a few minutes stroll to all the activities, dining , night market , restaurants, resorts and bars the Studio really does tick all the boxes

The Studio is totally 'Self Contained' and not shared or part of another property - it is your Studio, like a Hotel room with much more.

It is very popular, mainly due to its great nightly rate making it affordable to stay slap bang in Muri without paying the $600+ resort rates

Our private access and beach area is only for your use, the kayaks sit 10m from the waters edge so you can grab one and hit the lagoon and explore the island of 'Taakoka' which is right in front of our section in the lagoon. There is great snorkeling around the lagoon and island. Rinse off in the outside shower then relax in the newly added 11m salt pool or catch some sun in your private outdoor areas that have loungers and table / chairs - no sharing with other guests like in resorts!

The Studio is part of a Air New Zealand / Cook islands Tourism award winning business so you can book with confidence. we help to make the booking process easy and are on hand when you're here to say 'kia orana' and help out to make your island experience truly amazing! Our Studio gives you privacy yet you become part of our tiny beach community where everyone is so happy to be here and you can sit on the private beach areas and gaze at the island in the lagoon or grab a kayak off the lawn and go explore it !

There is a Guest Compendium that tells you everything you need to know, do and see to help you maximize your stay. Before arrival we also send our guide book to help plan your stay.

Perfect in Paradise
Muri Studio was perfect for a couple on their first visit to Rarotonga. The location was ideal with many local attractions within walking distance. The picturesque Muri Beach was on our doorstep along with the free use of kayaks, snorkeling gear, paddle boards and swimming pool. The studio itself was clean, equipped with all our needs, private and peaceful. The staff were friendly, helpful and respectful. The refreshments upon arrival were very much welcomed and appreciated. Thanks Adam and Sarah for your hospitality. We are looking forward to our return!

Privacy and great location
We had a great 8 day stay at Mûri Beach Studio. Adam and Sarah were fantastic hosts, from sending information and tips ahead of time and arranging our pickup at the airport, to answering questions during our stay and dropping by to say hello. The studio is cozy and very private, good air conditioning, and in a fabulous location on Mûri beach. We loved taking the kayaks that are provided and paddling out to snorkel by the little island offshore. Highly recommend!

Cosy Cottage
We enjoyed the privacy of the accomodation. It is basic accomodation set amongst the lovely grounds and great beach access. The bowl of fresh fruit on arrival was a nice touch. Muri is the ideal place to be, close to the night Market and other activities. We would stay here again in a heart beat.

Great place to stay for a couple
The Studio was perfect for the two of us and had everything we needed. The kayaks were great and the snokelling around the back of Taakaka Island was fabulous.

Nice location, great access to amenities
The house was like the pictures on the site. Loved the air conditioning. Adam and Sarah were very accommodating with any issues and helping us get some laundry done, since we were there for several days. No ocean view, but the ocean is still only steps away and accessible. The groceries when we arrived and the fruit plate was very much appreciated. We would definitely go back and stay.
