Muri is a lovely location but if you hire a car or a scooter every place is just as convenient as another. It all depends on what kind of service you want.

While it is amazing that you’re in front of the muri lagoon, the bungalow at the back is very run down, the window up stairs is broken and rotten and won’t close, the air con is broken and won’t turn off , the cleaning was sub par, looked like it hadn’t even been wiped, the advertised washing machine is broken, there is no paddle boards as advertised and only one leaking kayak that sinks AND there is only one deck chair that is so broken you cant sit in it. We still enjoyed our stay and it was suitable for a family but could certainly use some improvement. The pictures do not accurately portray where you’re staying, fine if you’re not too worried.

Hugely disappointing. Our holiday was compromised by grossly misleading and false images of the property. The bungalow is poorly maintained and presented. Meantime it should be relisted with accurate photos that represent its true condition and contents. The Fair Trading Act “prohibits traders from making misleading claims, meaning that the property must be as it was advertised to you when you booked”. This was not the case. All issues have been directed to the owner and Expedia for attention. A refund request is pending.
