Our "Peace of Mind" cancellation policy means you can book knowing your dates are flexible and payment refundable due to COVID issues. Limited total guest numbers = a safe bubble. Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Trying to be more eco-friendly & sustainable is one of our goals. Staying with us is like staying with friends. We are easy going and happy to share our local knowledge or just let you go your own way. Adventure packages are our forte, let us know if you want more of an experience.

Coupled with the Flying Turtle Café in Muri we can provide a full or partial “Eat Stay Play” package. All our guests receive priority booking and 10% discount. You can hire a car or motor scooter either on arrival or pre ordered and collected at the aiport. There is a great bus service that runs the circumference of the island every 45 mins or we hire Fat-wheeled MTBs from our café which is a great way to see the island. We also have some great walking tracks in close proximity. We live on site, so we are available as much or as little as you need. We are located close to Avana passage, the launching site of the voyaging vaka that left to go to Aotearoa. We are also within 5-mins of the restaurants and cafes of Muri. Muri Lagoon is a watersports hotspot and our Flying Turtle Café is located in the heart of Muri.
