What a great location, not far from the airport and Avarua township. The resort itself is lovely, if you want a peaceful holiday, with beautiful accommodation look no further. There are plenty of 1st class restaurants close by, serving excellent food. One of our favourites was THE WINDJAMMER which belongs to the Crown Resort. The staff help to make your... More

So happy we chose to stay at Magic Reef Bungalows to celebrate my 30th birthday! The entire stay was absolutely perfect - relaxing stay right on the beach in an "absolute beachfront bungalow". Woke up each morning to the sounds of the ocean, had the beach to ourselves each day & then witnessed some of THE most magical sunsets ever!... More

This was by far the best choice we made staying at the Magic Reef Bungalows on our honeymoon. The place was quiet, comfortable, relaxing and everything you could imagine it being on your honeymoon. The staff were so friendly. The rooms were clean and spacious. The finer details in the room really made me appreciate staying there. I loved the... More

I stayed at the Magic Reef for the second time in April 2013. Everything about the place is fantastic, especially the staff - from the receptionist to the considerate cleaning staff who keep the bungalows immaculate and beautiful. The layout of the bungalows is perfect; it's private and serene, and I particularly loved sitting out on the sundeck in the... More

We stayed at Magic Reef for three nights on the second half of a quick weeklong trip that took us first to Aitutaki and then back to Rarotonga. In short, Magic Reef was exactly what we had hoped it would be. The bungalows are large, clean, private, the kitchen well-equipped, the outdoor showers were great, while the units have a/c... More

We spent the last five nights of a 15 night Cook Islands holiday at Magic Reef in one of the Absolute Beachfront bungalows, B1, and it was fantastic. It was the most expensive of the three beachfront bungalows we stayed in (one in the south of Rarotonga at the start of the holiday, and another in Aitutaki), and I was... More

When we arrived we found the hotel's beach was littered with quite a lot of broken glass. We were warned to keep our bungalow doors locked because there had been a robbery the night before we arrived. While the pool was lovely, it needed cleaning and the surround needed maintenance, the wooden surround was coming away in places and rusty... More

Had a wonderful 4 nights at Magic Reef and very impressed. Gorgeous private bungalows, wonderful pool, peaceful and relaxing. Lovely friendly staff, friendly cat also :) Was with my mum for some much needed time out, probably more a honeymooners place but totally lovely nonetheless.

Friendly staff and relaxing venue. Great honeymoon location. A little room for improvement (minor issues with the cleanliness of the pool) but otherwise good value for money. Nice sense of independence due to the bungalows being separated, and outdoor shower areas were really unique. Staff were fantastic and helpful. A brilliant stay and would definitely recommend to others.

We spent a couple of days at the Magic Reef during our honeymoon and after a 21 days travel across NZ. Our bungalow was located just in fron of the sea shore. The view of the sea, the reef, the palms was awesome. At the back, wild nature, hills and forests... amazing. Inside the bungalow you can fing anything you... More
