I loved our stay - we took the kayaks out to the islands around the lagoon.

Amazing lagoon-front location at 1/10 the price of others on Muri beach. Free kayaks, good dining close by, and really friendly owners.

While the bungalow was basic, it was a seperate cottage, large and very comfortable and our verandah was just 15 meters across the beach to the beautiful lagoon.
Were a retired couple and it was perfect for us as we did not want to stay at a crowded impersonal resort.
I loved using the kayak to go out into the lagoon and around the small island that is part of the lagoon.
I wish I had taken a mask and flippers to swim in the lagoon and see the many turtles that live there.

The property is dated. The Villa was clean and had all the basics that you need for your stay. I couldn't see where the laundry was so I washed by hand. When I eventually got in contact with the owner, she was very pleasant and accommodating.

A basic hideaway on a beautiful beach, fabulous location.
If not expecting anything flash, this is for you.
Get to experience waking with Roosters and barking dogs at times, but all part of Rarotonga experience.
Feel like a local. Kitchen pots pans could be renewed.

The property is exactly as it said on the box! It is a comfortable basic accomadation right on the beach front. Communication was a bit ropey initially but this was due to internet connection issues (which we are also currently dealing with!). Once the issues were fixed the communcation was awesome. My only negative comment would be that there is no road sign for the property and it took a while to find it. It is on google maps but there are a number of small driveways in the area and we did enter the odd wrong one. All in all, a nice place to stay.

On the beach, but tired but good
Anna was very good host, it was difficult to get in touch with due to issues with mobile phones and Wi-Fi in CI. Place had been closed due to COVID so needs a big clean/overhaul… but they are doing great job- fresh fruit and fluffy towels!

It is absolutely nice place to stay in Thianas Beach . the only thing is to take a flashlight with you for evening movement, a certain part of the central road without lighting, so as not to miss your turn to the bungalow

Tianas has to be in one of the most amazing spots on the island, the sea views are amazing and although the accommodation is a little rustic it is still well worth lowering your expectations to experience the piece and tranquility of this spot.

We arrived at the property at night and I was pleasantly surprised - an incredible beachfront location just a short walk from central Muri and the bungalow looked really cute, a good size and quite private. However in the morning our view quickly changed as we realised it desperately needs air conditioning, the bed is old and needs replacing and the whole unit needs a good deep clean and some investment put into upgrading the furniture, mosquito nets, and shower. Unfortunately during our stay we experienced swarms of flies, dirty sheets and a gas leak in the oven. We decided to leave 5 nights early even though our booking was non-refundable. If this property has a renovation I would 100% recommend it, but not in its current state.
