매직 리프 방갈로

Air conditioning in main room missing. No instructions on how to use range top. Owner on vacation and nobody was shown how to work it. So we really couldn’t cook on it. When I got it to work after 10 minutes it shut off.

Property and room are cute. Staff are friendly and helpful. Extremely convenient to be able to rent a vehicle from the property. Aside from the friendly service and great amenities, the property did not exceed in individual guest service and villa maintenance. I booked a king bed villa yet my villa was setup as 2 twin beds in preparation for the guests who arrive after me, as explained by management. I expected the property to prepare for my stay before the next guest after me. The bathtub for my villa did not hold water. This was a known issue but not repaired before my stay. This amenity was a part of the reason I booked but I wa unable to enjoy this in my room.

Staff were amazing. Rooms were really nice. Having rental cars to hire start from magic reef was so convenient as finding a rental car was very hard once we moved locations. Would recommend staying here

Incredible bamboo bungalow for our honeymoon, and even better hosts!

It was a great choice for us. The property is lovely, and the location is quiet and accessible. It felt calm just to walk into the place and local food and walks were a great feature. Would stay again if we return

Great Hosts. Beautiful Rooms. An amazing way to celebrate 20 years of marriage.

Simply a great place to relax and unwind. A loved and cared for property which exudes warmth and charm.

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.

Amazing we loved the property so clean and well presented with everything u need an extras n the bungalow. Friendly staff an very helpful hosts.

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!

A completely relaxing holiday. Our Villa was amazing, staff amazing & friendly , can't wait to return next year.

Beautiful and luxurious ☺️

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.

Love my stay there highly recommended

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.

We had such a wonderful stay at the Magic Reef. Simone and Lawrence were such nice hosts. We can’t wait to return and would highly recommend the Magic Reef to anyone

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.
