My friends and I stayed at the apartment for a week at Manuia. It was DELIGHTFUL. We had a marvellous time, and felt very well cared for by the staff - especially at the restaurant, which was lovely. Highly recommend staying here, you won't regret it.

    “The restaurant was fantastic for dinners. Outstanding meals in the evening. The pool area and surrounds were lovely although the swimming off the beach was very shallow so hard to snorkel. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and we appreciated the excellent customer service given by all.”
