Room Information

Hotel Amenities

The beach directly in front of the Kabanas is very narrow and the tide comes right up to the grass at high tide. However, its a short stroll along the beachfront to the wider expanse of sand at Muri. The lagoon in front of the Kabanas is shallow and sandy bottom making it great for young kids to enjoy. At low tide, guests can walk across the lagoon to two uninhabited islets with a secluded sandy beach. It's a five minute stroll along the beach front to Muri Beach proper where the lagoon is better for swimming..

All bungalows have access to a large wooden deck overlooking the beach and lagoon where there are hammocks, sun loungers and BBQ facilities.
