Der Blick aus dem Zimmer direkt auf die Lagune ist traumhaft - die kleine Terrasse direkt am Strand lädt zum Träumen ein

beautiful property right on the beach with a pool and 9 ( soon to be 12) bungalows with ocean views. the bungalows are well built and well maintained with a pleasing decor and well appointed kitchenette. The bathroom sink and outdoor shower are two highlights.
Lawrence and Simone are both friendly and helpful. They have a great staff as well. They have electric cars and a couple of e-bikes for hire.

As soon as we arrived the atmosphere and view just chilled you out immediately. Jayne was very informative and helpful for things we wanted to do, and all of the Magic Reef Crew were friendly.We were well looked after, they seem to have thought of everything, from mask and snorkel, to electric cycles and cars. Would recommend a visit you will not feel as relaxed anywhere!
As far as we were concerned you could not fault the place or the staff.

property manager and staff are extremely supportive, nice and friendly. the property located beachfront with great view, free wifi, smart tv, air con, and fan. worth to mention, not all hotels provide them on the island. culturally decorated bungalow gives bit of taste of the island tradition and heritage. also it’s nice and quite, all u can hear is the ocean breeze, maybe some local dog barks, no need to worry to be waken up by d roosters

I thoroughly recommend this resort.Lawrence and Simone are excellent hosts. Every chalet has a view of the beach.The grounds are well endowed with plants and shrubs, and the beachfront has several coconut palms to provide shade.The gardens are regularly tended to by able gardeners.The resort faces west which is perfect for cocktails while watching the sun go down.(please see the attached photos)All chalets have very private outdoor bathrooms.There are electric vehicles available to hire(and electric bikes)at this resort.3 restaurants are accessed by short walks along the beach, and an excellent cafe is within walking distance along the road.
The beach is quite rocky but a small sandy swimming hole is about 40 meters away.Otherwise the lagoon is too shallow to swim in easily.However this is overcome by hiring an electric car from the resort and driving to nearby swimming spots. We snorkeled every day,Our favourite spot was near the Rarotonga resort.

Hands down the best place I have ever stayed at. The hosts are incredible, the villa is amazing and the bed is the most comfortable bed I have ever lay on. It's literally like sleeping on a cloud.. Hoping to stay there again next year.
Not staying long enough, and discovering it at the last minute

We loved our beach view bungalow which had everything we needed for an amazing stay. All staff were lovely and super helpful and we especially enjoyed the fresh ice and water always available. Also loved the outdoor bathroom. We hope to come back one day and see the whales crossing by again !
Roosters next door kept us awake / woke us up early every day

We had a lovely stay at Magic Reef. The property has everything you need- beach and pool and the bungalows are gorgeous. Magic reef kindly provided a fruit platter on arrival with fresh juice and bread. they also gave us momentos for our stay along with shell necklaces on departure which is very thoughtful. the bungalows are amazing with an outdoor bath and shower. the beds are extremely comfortable. the owners were kind and keen to help in any way. we loved our stay there and we will be back! thanks so much Magic Reef.

Nice comfortable bungalow with plenty of room. Outdoor shower, fridge, cooktop, air conditioner, complimentary filtered water and ice. Lovely garden and beach front area, nice pool area. Swimming with the complimentary snorkelling gear and reef shoes is best when the tide is in. Some great eating, drinking & sunset spots within walking distance. The paid wifi was good. There are electric cars and electric bikes for hire. Currently with only 9 bungalows available the property is personal yet private. Bungalow 1, 2, 3 & 4 have the best views.
The TV reception not so good and in Covid time was required.

What fantastic location! Lovely place right on the beach. The owners and staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. The bungalow was lovely with an outside shower and bath as well as an inside toilet and basin. Good quality crockery etc and water bottles for the fridge were all super. Loved the swimming pool as well. Plenty of restaurants nearby.
An extra bonus was being able to use the hire cars that they have.

The view was perfect from our room. Room was light and well presented, loved the outdoor shower. The fresh fruit and breakfast provided on the first day was a bonus. We found the best restaurant just down the beach. Very easy to check in even when the office wasn't open.
A little bit pricey, especially as we were there in the low season. Could only hire the bikes for the day, would be good to have 1/2 day options at least (maybe 2 and 4hr option). No free wifi.

The beach is beautiful and the set up on the property to enjoy the views was excellent. Lots of lounges, and chairs and tables. A very nice way to enjoy your meals watching the tides.
