My husband and I had a fabulous holiday at the beautiful Magic Reef Bungalows. The bungalows have every amenity (including reliable wifi) and are incredibly comfortable. The gardens, pool and beach front are immaculately maintained with gorgeous views, especially at sunset. Lawrence and Simone were welcoming and happy to help with anything we needed. We will definitely be returning with our whole family next year.

Simone and Lawrence have made Magic Reef a unique and wonderful holiday getaway. Bungalows are right on the beach. Excellent ocean view from the deck of our bungalow. Staff and crew are amazing. Electric cars for rent if you don’t want to take the bus that you can catch right up the road. Excellent snorkeling just up the beach and many restaurant options within walking distance. I would highly recommend Magic Reef for your Rarotonga holiday.

This was exactly the high end, casual, accommodation I adore - ie. very high standard of lodging (comfortable bed, beautiful aesthetics, well appointed etc) but without the trappings of most generic hotel rooms (phone in bathroom and next to bed, room service etc. Instead it was glorious to stay in a place with only 7 other bungalows and consequently have the pool and beach almost exclusively for my partner and I. E-bikes, snokeling gear, ice, bbq, hire car and so much more always available. Just perfect given my preference for simple, elegant and beautiful. This is not a 'I had a wonderful holiday' rave - I am comparing it with many resorts around the world. I would recommend unless you are looking for a place with a lobby, bar and lots of other people.

The best part of our stay here was the owners and staff. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a pleasant stay, and accommodated our unique itinerary. Their commitment to sustainable tourism is quite evident, and little gestures, such as a sample of fresh muesli or a staff member coming in early to use your rental car to drop you off at the airport added the personal touch that’s so hard to find
