Amazing and will be returning.
Pros:

The staff were amazing. The villa was comfortable, large and always clean. The property was beautiful, overlooking the ocean and is in a great position on the island.

Cons:

Due to the weather, the crashing waves made it difficult to fall asleep sometimes. And this is not in the control of the owners, so it’s not a fault. But if you are a light sleeper, the waves can keep you awake if it’s stormy or windy. This is only for the beach front and not the garden villas.

Great villas for couples.
Pros:

Amazing location, great for couples wanting a more relaxed, private, holiday.
The local shops, cafes etc are not far away and Muri beach close too, but a car gives you more flexibility.
Spacious villas with great views of the beach, amazing sunrises. The pool was never busy as only a few villas.

Cons:

There was nothing we didnt like.

Fabulous, quiet and comfortable place
Pros:

Fabulous views over the reef, close to Muri beach, attentive owners, extremely quiet and peaceful. Appreciated the loan of a heated electric pan to allow us to cook our own meals, on top of the provided microwave.

Cons:

Ideally you should visit with a car, however there is an hourly bus. Muri beach is a 20 minute walk, but no footpath.
