Loved the hosts most of all. They put you to ease and at home as soon as you walk in. Our room number on the front reception board had all our names and a printed personalised memo in our room of the things to know about the premises and house. The villas are artistically built and for someone like me, I could just sit and admire the construction for hours. Beach and swimming pool were awesome and the fact that the pool is open all night long was the best thing ever for us to cool off late in the night as many hotels/motels forget that it’s not practical often to be in a pool during the day due to strong sun. So much thought has been put in almost everything - the pool depicting a 16th century ship, its mast used as comms tower, it stern hosting a small viewing area along with a shallow pool (deeper pool further in). The villas have practical, aesthetically pleasing and ergonomically thought-out layout. Large fridge, free ice from nearby icemaker and the welcoming fruit platter made us all fall in love at first sight.
Nothing I can fault them on. Although they have spared no expense in installing rather high-end expensive hardware ie hinges and door locks, the door locks are easily damaged and hard operate but with the place so safe, and with the owners around asking if you if you need anything else several times in a day, you don't need all that security either anyway ;)
Best stay ever for me and my family to date. Can't wait to visit again!

Lovely smaller accommodation with the friendliest staff thinkable. You get a spacious room with a gorgeous bed and outdoor shower (none indoors but you don’t really have to with the weather). You get decent kitchen wear so you can cook yourself (2 induction pits) and a good toaster and coffee maker.
Only downside for us was that they don’t have an onsite restaurant so you have to get groceries for breakfast, or any other meal, if you don’t want to go out. There are two restaurants close by (2 to 10 min walk) that offer lunch and dinner but they are not open all days. I would recommend getting a car so you can get to places to eat or swim as the reef right in front of the accommodation is nice but it doesn’t leave room to swim. The onsite pool however makes up for that too.

We rented e-bikes and were able to get to town, dive shop and snorkling reefs just fine. I felt safe waking and biking along the roadsThere are 6 good restaurants within walking distance (15 min). Staff was very friendly and helpful. The bungalos are clean and well maintained. I enjoyed the garden, bungalo porch and beachfront hammock.

We would recommend Magic Reef for an excellent trip. Very lovely place and owners. We were greeted with a great fruit platter, fresh squeezed orange juice and a breakfast bread. Wonderful visit to Rarotonga.

We found Magic Reef to be an absolutely ideal resort property. The bungalows are very well designed and appointed and each has a view of the beach. The gardens are beautifully maintained and the waterfront gazebo and deck area was a lovely place to spend time watching the waves crash on the reef in the distance. Cars were available for rent on site which was very convenient and there were restaurants within walking distance along the beach - how great is it to walk along a sand beach to a table overlooking a Raro sunset? Magic Reef shows great pride of ownership and the staff is super helpful. There are three new beautiful bamboo bungalows with more than one bedrooms just being finished in the same design - which build on your vision of what a South Pacific ideal vacation place would be. You simply won’t find a nicer place on Raro.

Lovely well equipped bungalows on the west side of the island. Good location. Clockwise and Anticlockwise bus runs past resort every 30 mins I think it is. Or you can hire a car or scooter. Nothing is far. Our bungalow was closest to the beach. Balcony with sun lounges. Comfy bed. Free wifi was a bonus. Filtered water and ice free for guests. Nice pool and outdoor area. Beach unfortunately isn’t for swimming due to the reef scattered through it and the shallowness. I walked out to the breakers one day at low water, was good. They also have snorkel gear and reef shoes free for guests to use. Lawrence and Simonne are excellent, and will help with anything you need, also Jayne is there in the office as well, she can hook you up with anything needed. They also have electric hire cars and bikes. It’s a very relaxing place to be. You can do a lot, or you can just relax in a sun chair and do nothing. We had an outdoor shower and sunken bath at the rear of our bungalow, brilliant idea. We will definitely be visiting again.

Hidden gem. Felt like a home away from home. The local staff were very friendly. Pool was lovely. Perfect sunset location. Very quiet, boutique experience. Amazing to fall asleep to the waves. The cabins were superb offering an authentic Polynesian experience with unique outdoor bathrooms.
Only negative was not good for snorkelling or swimming straight off the beach. However just jump on some hire scooters, or catch an bus and pop down the road for Amazing snorkelling experiences.
The location also offered hire EVs and electric bikes. Also free snorkeling gear.

My husband and I had a fabulous holiday at the beautiful Magic Reef Bungalows. The bungalows have every amenity (including reliable wifi) and are incredibly comfortable. The gardens, pool and beach front are immaculately maintained with gorgeous views, especially at sunset. Lawrence and Simone were welcoming and happy to help with anything we needed. We will definitely be returning with our whole family next year.

Simone and Lawrence have made Magic Reef a unique and wonderful holiday getaway. Bungalows are right on the beach. Excellent ocean view from the deck of our bungalow. Staff and crew are amazing. Electric cars for rent if you don’t want to take the bus that you can catch right up the road. Excellent snorkeling just up the beach and many restaurant options within walking distance. I would highly recommend Magic Reef for your Rarotonga holiday.

This was exactly the high end, casual, accommodation I adore - ie. very high standard of lodging (comfortable bed, beautiful aesthetics, well appointed etc) but without the trappings of most generic hotel rooms (phone in bathroom and next to bed, room service etc. Instead it was glorious to stay in a place with only 7 other bungalows and consequently have the pool and beach almost exclusively for my partner and I.
E-bikes, snokeling gear, ice, bbq, hire car and so much more always available. Just perfect given my preference for simple, elegant and beautiful.
This is not a 'I had a wonderful holiday' rave - I am comparing it with many resorts around the world. I would recommend unless you are looking for a place with a lobby, bar and lots of other people.

The best part of our stay here was the owners and staff. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a pleasant stay, and accommodated our unique itinerary. Their commitment to sustainable tourism is quite evident, and little gestures, such as a sample of fresh muesli or a staff member coming in early to use your rental car to drop you off at the airport added the personal touch that’s so hard to find
