I stayed at Magic Reef bungalow, Beautiful place to stay nice and quiet with friendly staff, can see and hear the ocean from your room. I stayed for a total of 10 days, its just ashame the first 3 nights was living hell. I booked this accomodation due to aircon and massage within facility because i had a cast on my right foot and crutches. But unfortunately the air con wasn't working, we had to have cold baths twice a day and slept on the tilled floors with added cushion from the outside and inside chairs with the fan on high, it was so hot we slept in minimal clothing (swimmers). We spoke to both owners but couldn't do much because it was fully booked and maintenance wasn't available for 2 weeks . To end our vacation we thought the owners would give us some sort of reinburstment or a later checkout to make up for the horrible first 3 days but they smiled and proceeded like nothing happened and insisted we come back for a 10% discount. ***Double check Aircon is in working order because it is ESSENTIAL for surviving the heat in Rarotonga.***

We stayed in an 'Absolute Beachfront Bungalow' right on the beach and particularly enjoyed the outdoor bathroom (the toilet is separate and indoors). The bungalow didn't have good airflow and the thick material above the bed made it difficult to stay cool until we discovered the air conditioner had a turbo function which worked great! E-vehicles are available to hire for $NZ 75 a day, no cost for charging. Vehicles don't have to be hired for consecutive days which was great! The pool was a bit too warm for summer and the beach wasn't very good for swimming or snorkelling. The staff were friendly, and the bungalows are located within walking distance of a couple of restaurants.

We stayed in an Absolute Beachfront Bungalow and loved listening to the waves lull us to sleep every night. The accommodation was so fitting for the site, being a bamboo bungalow with a beautiful outdoor bathroom including sunken tub. The most amazing thing about the place though are the people, Lawrence and Simonne and all of the friendly staff, including resident dog, Magic, and cat, Captain, made us feel like we were in a second home. Little touches like bringing over ground coffee for us, booking dinner reservations and handing us fruit they had picked, really made our stay. We used the on site electric car available to rent too, which are perfect for island life. Rarotonga is an amazing place, and this is a fantastic place to stay while you are there.

We were here for 7 days and loved every minute. The hosts were lovely, welcome drinks, home made bread and jams, fresh ground coffee and complimentary fruit platter was just the beginning. Clean rooms where everything worked and right on the beach as well as a pool. We loved the fact that it does not offer a restaurant and explored all the surrounding areas by e bike. Active recyclers with e bikes and e cars was another unique part, fresh drinking water and ice, limitless wifi as well. Thank you Lawrence and Simone we will back.

Quiet. Private. Right on the beach. Excellent crew of people working here. We stayed for two weeks and had a great time! Four very good dining venues nearby (easily walkable). [Insider tip: Rent the e-bikes from Tik-Ebikes just up the road - the selection of e-bikes at Magic Reef needs some TLC.]

Never been to Rarotonga before so getting married there was a bit of a mission! But boy what a place and to top it all off Magic Reef Bungalows just can't be faulted. Immaculate accommodation with beautiful gardens and a location to die for. Simone, Lawrence, Magic, Captain and there super friendly staff just made our whole experience the best ever! Thanks guys, we will be back sooner rather than later!

Excellent choice of a place to stay - lovely view from spacious accommodation. Friendly and helpful staff. Pool was great. Be prepared to go out to eat. Food is expensive i. Rarotonga everywhere. Also take cash. Good position with the easterly trade winds being on the west side of the island.

Perfect location. Bungalows were clean and well decorated. Great outdoor shower and tub. Cute little kitchen area. Nice deck. Helpful and friendly owners and staff. Everyone was so nice! The ability to rent the EV was a nice touch. Close to 3 easy to walk to restaurants. Highly recommend!

We spent 5 nights at this wonderful small resort in one of the absolute beachfront bungalows. Lawrence, Simone and the whole team provided the friendliest service and made our stay comfortable and relaxing. The rooms are lovely, the views spectacular (we saw a heap of whales from our deck), the beds really comfortable, and we loved the outdoor shower and bath. Very highly recommend Magic Reef! Only thing some folk may want to note....the resort does not have a restaurant/cafe, so you do need to self cater or go out. We didn't mind this as it allowed to to explore many great eating places all within walking distance.
