    “This was a beautiful, private,small scale resort. Excellent service by staff and the fact that there wasn't a bar or restaurant on-site meant that there were no passers by wandering thru the grounds. Absolute beach front and all 12 Bungalows have views directly to the water.”

  • Exceptional choice of accommodation for people wanting to relax and enjoy the local vibe.

    “Al Magic Reef appena arrivi ti senti in vacanza in una posizione meravigliosa con il mare a due passi. I bungalow sono molto belli e curati nei dettagli. Un unica pecca è stato avere la doccia e la vasca all'esterno che con 20° e aria che tira se proprio non fa caldo non è piacevole lavarsi fuori. Lo staff gentile ,accoglienza premurosa .”

  • Peaceful and beautiful.

    “Welcoming friendly staff, excellent location and the bungalow far exceeded our expectations. The all electric hire car was a must to see all rarotonga has to offer, and avoid the island fuel prices.”

  • A great boutique style beachside getaway.
