Watersports:

We are located close to what is locally considered the best swimming beach on the island. The Sailing Club and Windsurfing School are just down the road from us, as is the starting point for glass bottomed boat lagoon & snorkeling tours. Kayaks can also be hired. We also recommedn Cook Island Divers to all of our guests for the best SCUBA diving on the island: please visit their website for more information : www.cookislandsdivers.com

Location:

Muri Beach is considered the nicest beach on Rarotonga, and for good reasons. Here the lagoon is at its widest. The water is warm and clear. It is the only beach with little islets [known locally as Motu’s].
Our guests like to picnic or explore this area then head back to Sunrise for quiet relaxation or wine on the oceanfront sundeck or beside the pool. In the other direction the main township of Avarua is 12 kms away [airport 14 kms].

Getting Around:

....

We can help organize car or motorbike hire and get you the best island deals. If you are more energetic hire a bicycle from Sunrise at only NZ$6 per day. All the major tours stop at or outside the Sunrise for your convenience. Buses stop at the end of Sunrise driveway in either direction hourly, cost is just a few dollars for one stop or right round the island. One thing in Rarotonga is that nowhere is very far away!

Eating Out/Local Nightlife:
Some of the best restaurants on the island are close-by, The Flame Tree, Sails and Sandals. The Beachfront Café at the well known Pacific Resort is set right on the beach with an extensive food menu and wine list.
A great place to relax and gaze out across the wide lagoon.
Nightlife is not a central focus of our surrounding area outside of the main resorts and restaurants.
The Pacific Resort does have a weekly ‘Island Night’ Buffet and Show featuring local dance and music. These are open to the general public at a one-off cost.
