Stand on the deck and look out to the lagoon and directly in front in the lagoon is the island (motu) of Taakoka which you can spend your days snorkeling in the clear warm lagoon with the amazing tropical marine life or explore the island in your own supplied Kayaks or cooling off in the salt Pool the choice is yours!.

So many great reviews and so popular year round !

Guests comment on the spacious interior and huge deck with 5m outdoor dining table as well as the absolute beach front location.

Walk just steps off the rear deck to your own private beach access and the Golden Mile of Muri Beach and let the white sand seep between you toes. Kokacabana is in the heart of Muri yet you wouldn t think so as this house is so private and situated 100 meters from the road front and is accessed by a long driveway well off the main road that finishes at the house and of course the beach !.

There are so many places for sun bathing in privacy or stroll just metres along the beach to a 5 star resort that has lagoon front dining and infinity pool or walk further along to the many restaurants, cafes and water activities available only at Muri - it really is the only place to be and beach to be staying on in Rarotonga

Kokacabana was built and furnished with a genuine pacific island theme, a renowned local artists work is a big feature of the house and the attention to detail you can see in the finishing is something special. there are two dining options either inside or on the large deck that has a BBQ, sun loungers and lots of comfy couches and of course expansive lagoon views. the deck is sheltered and a great place to read, relax and dwell on another day in paradise

When you are ready to wind up the day there are three bedrooms , the master with ensuite and a large main bathroom with shower and claw foot bath. We can cater to your individual requirements by splitting beds or providing extra beds, just ask us ! of course with a house this nice there is full linen supplied as well as towels.

Cooking is a big passion in the Cook Islands and we are blessed with local fresh fruit and vegetables and the kitchen in Kokacabana has everything needed to whip up a island feast with a dishwasher to clean up after. there is a large fridge freezer and six burner stainless steel stove. the breakfast bar in the kitchen opens out to the deck for outside dining.

Kokacabana Beach House is situated on a large landscaped 3/4 acre section and is managed by a award winning tourism company so you can book with ease and know that your beach holiday accommodation will be of the highest standard.

As 'Premier Hosts' we are help to make the booking process as easy as possible. and a 'instant book' option to get you quickly confirmed ! Since the pandemic we have refined and polished our practices. We work full time to ensure your comfort and the best possible holiday !

Throughout the booking process and during your stay we are on hand to help and only a message away.

As we are living on the island but not onsite we will stop by at some stage to say Kia Orana (hello), other than that we leave you to it - it is your property for your entire stay and we can help as much or little as needed! .

There is a Guest Compendium that tells you everything you need to know, do and see to help you maximize your stay. Before arrival we also send our guide book to help plan your stay.

We want you to experience the island and what it has to offer for yourselves and our guests always go back home and spread the word on our little paradise island in the Pacific !

Friends Holiday
Couldn’t ask for a better location, right on the beach. When spent most days on the sun loungers or snoozing on the deck. Great having the Nautilus right next door and the Muri night markets for when we couldn’t be bothered cooking! We enjoyed LBV for breakfast a couple of mornings and the Pacific Resort for some drinks and nibbles. We all loved staying at the Kokacabana. It has everything you could need. Adam was awesome to deal with and checked in to make sure everything was ok. Definitely what to come back

Perfect house in a perfect location
Our family of 7 adults had a wonderful 10 day stay at Kokacabana. The house has wonderful communal spaces as well as allowing for privacy in the spacious bedrooms. Such a fantastic setting right on the beach, access to the shared pool on the property and easy walking distance to local shops and Muri night market with a bus stop right outside. Absolutely perfect, highly recommend. Thanks Adam and Sarah for such a wonderful stay.

Wonderful house in a stunning location
The perfect place for a relaxing stay at the best location on Rarotonga. The property is well equipped and spotlessly clean with direct access to the beach. It is set back from the main road so is quiet and has excellent parking. There's even a pool. Very highly recommended.

We absolutel loved our stay, great location beautiful sunrises walks on the beach, spacious house kitchen could do with a upgrade but didn't affect us. Beds were super comy and Im really fussy on comfort. Communication with Adam and Sarah was spot on and everything went very smoothly. Special touches of lovely big displays of fresh flowers adds that extra luxury, the view is better than shown in photos. Loved being able to walk next door along the beach to the Nautilus resort best meal we had on the Island, can't wait to come back!

Right on the beach, a lovely swimming pool a few steps from the house shared only with one other property. Ample, pleasant accommodation. Kitchen could do with a makeover, though.

Magical place to stay
Staying can be summed up in one word “WOW” , you are only steps away from the beach and the two main rooms plus dining room opens up to the beach , at night you fall asleep with the sounds of waves breaking on the reef , the house is well appointed and it was a comfortable stay second to none , when you want to have something to eat or visit the spa you have a great resort right next door , we will definitely be coming back

Idyllic Spot
Our whole experience was outstanding. Adam and Sarah made the booking, arrival and settling in experience effortless and pleasant. They were such friendly hosts and gave our nine day holiday a real personal feel. . Kokacabana Villa was perfect for a relaxing holiday. The indoor outdoor flow was great with plenty of spaces outside to sit, eat, socialise and relax, whether sunny or raining. The house is fully equipped with mosquito screens on all the windows so you can enjoy the breeze and the sound of the ocean at night without getting eaten. The beach is literally a walk across the lawn and onto the sand. The provided snorkeling gear and kayaks meant it was easy to enjoy exploring above and below the waters surface. As Adam pointed out, there was a good spot behind the Island. The location is the best you could hope for with The Muri Night Markets, a convenience store, a good range of eating places, 2 bus stops, scooter hire, the Te Vara Nui cultural village, plus the lagoon cruises all within a few minutes walk. With a great sandy beach, palm trees, and a few islands to look out on to, you can't ask for a better spot. We did Charlotte Piho's 'Swimming with the Turtles Experience' (booked just up the road) which was great, although it would probably have been even better on a sunny day. We also did the 'Raro Buggies Tour'. This was a real thrill and great fun. We were fortunate to do it when it was wet. The wetter the tracks the more exciting and memorable your experience will be. All in all we had a fabulous holiday with a great base at Kokacabana. (Tip: most locals know the address as Taakoka). Thanks Sarah and Adam for your friendliness and help in making our stay such a relaxing and rejuvenating one. We hope we can come back and stay with you again soon. Peter and Shiree.

Perfect location
A lovely property that is perfectly located towards the end of Muri Beach but still easy walking distance to everything in Muri. A spacious and well kitted out house with an especially lovely covered beachside deck area, which was just right for outside dining, BBQing, an evening drink or reading a book. Great snorkeling right off the beach with masks and snorkels provided. The kayaks provided were also appreciated. Adam was a great host who looked after us well and provided some good local recommendations. Be sure to order a platter from Island Platters to enjoy on the deck. This was our first trip to Rarotonga and it was quite the best family holiday we have had in a long time. We very much look forward to coming back soon.
