Koka Villa - on a large 3/4 acre setting ending on Muri Beach - no roads to cross! Stroll down the lawn straight on to Muri Beach facing the island 'Taakoka'. Set 30m away from the road in central Muri on a Beach Setting. Read the many recent reviews.
On the 'Muri Golden Mile' with use of a 11m shared pool 20 steps off the deck, the beach, kayaks & golden sand a few more steps away ! Only Muri has four in lagoon 'Motus' to explore and one of them 'Taakoka' is set in the lagoon right in front of the beach. Head out your back door and 30m along the lawn will face you right in front of Taakoka island on the beach.
You can pay $700+ to be at Muri Beach in such a central sought after location, this villa represents great value for up to four guests staying together fully self catered for much less.
Explore Taakoka Island (motu) in the lagoon or in one of the kayaks or with the provided snorkel gear (excl flippers).
Central Location - 400m to the famous Muri Night Market, Cafes, Hotels, Restaurants, Water Activities - Muri is the tourist 'hub' of the island !
Muri Beach - the only place to be with everything on your door step ! This family friendly two level villa is fantastic value for money on Muri Golden Mile with a private, landscaped and fenced pool 10 steps off the deck!
Enjoy the shared pool or take a few steps to our private beach access leading directly on to the famous Muri Beach, snorkel, kayak around the island named 'Taakoka' which is right off the beach ! Only Muri has Motus (islands) to explore and Taakoka is right there when you step off the lawn.
Our setting is walking distance to everything @ Muri including the now famous 'Muri Night Market'
This two level (with stairs) villa has two bedrooms and ensuites both with air con, both upstairs, we can split beds to singles and there is plenty of wardrobe storage .
Downstairs there is a additional bathroom with washing machine. there is a full kitchen including dishwasher, hob, oven, fridge freezer, microwave, BBQ outside and all the cooking utensils needed to cook some tasty island food !
The outside are is private with sun loungers , BBQ, a deck with outside dining and lots of seating. the sun area captures the sun during the day and there are sun loungers to use, the deck is large and great when you need some shade.
The lounge has a smart TV and books to enjoy.
The salt pool is just a few steps from the villa - less than 20 steps.
*Please note - there is a 14 years and over age limit for this property
The setting is so quiet and peaceful, the beach is slightly away from the main resorts in Muri so when you walk on to the beach from the Villa it feels like you have the island to yourself!
The pool is just a dozen steps from the deck, while it is shared it is large and usually not being used. it has been planted out with lush tropical plants so is private and a great spot to relax, read or swim. There is a total of 3/4's of an acre of lawns and landscaped areas including our private beach area which is all for you to enjoy! our private setting is one of the last in Muri that hasn't been built out with multiple units or turned in to a hotel -which is why we are so popular!
There are numerous cafes, restaurants, delis, hotels and resorts, the muri night market and car/scooter hire all a short walk from the villa - our guests give the Villa 5 stars for it's location !
A car can be hired either on arrival or pre ordered and collected at the airport. there is a great bus service that runs the circumference of the island every 45 mins.
Scooters and bicycles are also common modes of transport and we can help to recommend either.
The beach has pure white sand and there is excellent snorkelling and kayaking directly off the beach access or we can help with other spots around the island to explore !
A easy booking process will confirm your booking. we live on the island and are on hand for advice and assistance during your stay with loads of info including our comprehensive 'guide book' with everything you need to see and do here.
As kiwi owners we operate a award winning accommodation business and were awarded 'best private rental' in the 2013 Air NZ Cook Islands Tourism Awards and again a finalist in 2016 & 2018. Koka Villa was Cook Islands Tourism Council Accredited for 2024.
We get such great feedback on our villa, it is so popular with families as there's lots of space for everyone. Koka Villa is just perfect for your island holiday so be sure to enquire as it is always so popular and heavily booked !
As 'Premier Hosts' we are help to make the booking process as easy as possible. and a 'instant book' option to get you quickly confirmed ! Since the pandemic we have refined and polished our practices. We work full time to ensure your comfort and the best possible holiday !
Throughout the booking process and during your stay we are on hand to help and only a message away.
As we are living on the island but not onsite we will stop by at some stage to say Kia Orana (hello), other than that we leave you to it - it is your property for your entire stay and we can help as much or little as needed! .
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.
We want you to experience the island and what it has to offer for yourselves and our guests always go back home and spread the word on our little paradise island in the Pacific !
