Excellent location between town and Muri, on the beach (but better for sunsets than for swimming); the staff were friendly and delivered fresh coconuts to our door(!); and the place was lovely. Minor point: the curtains in the rooms offer little protection from the morning sun. Highly recommend and we wish Barry all the best (he was away for medical... More

My partner and I recently got married at 'Magic Reef Bungaolws' in Rarotonga. The day was perfect and everything we imagined. Judy & Barry at Magic Reef organised everything for our specal day - celebrant, photograher, catering, marquee, flowers, hair & makeup etc. We were contacted by Judy (our wedding planner) regarding everything and found Judy & Barry to be...

We spent 8 wonderful nights in Rarotonga staying at the fabulous Magic Reef Bungalows. My husband proposed to me on the beach on our first day :-) Barry and Judy were very friendly and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble for them! However you do need to make sure that you understand that everything and everyone is on island time... More

On our 5th visit to Rarotonga, we enjoyed a relatively new spot...Magic Reef. West side always has best sunsets. We don't rent own wheels while there, since we enjoy the bus so much. Individual bungalows were well placed with King canopied bed. It was way too firm for us, but staff tried to help by layering under linens with several... More

BEWARE! I provisionally booked 4 bungalows at Magic Reef for my upcoming wedding. Our original plan was to also try and host our wedding there, however, Magic Reef only offer one package and have no flexibility of what can and can't be included. When I talked to the owner Barry Ford about the fact that we had booked a company... More

We have just come back from a week at Magic Reef and loved every minute. The setting is gorgeous, right on the beach. The tropical gardens and pool are immaculate. There are just 9 bungalows set so they all have a view of the sea. They are lovely especially the carved wood furniture and the king size four poster bed.... More

Been there for 4 days. + clean accommodations (big and nice ornaments everywhere) + friendly personnel, very helpful (host will drive you if needed) + great view to ocean (and listen to it at night from your bed) + great swimming pool (best idea ever!) - you won't be able to swim next to it (all plane, no depth)

This was our first visit to the Cook Islands, and we only stayed in Rarotonga for one week. Magic Reef helped make our visit well worth the long travel from the SF Bay Area. It is an ideal location with an almost private beach. All bungalows have an ocean view, so no need to spring for the beach facing ones.... More
