We really loved our stay at Mama Tara’s. Was very clean & had most of what we needed. The only problem we had was poor communication, no directions & found no signage. Some lovely locals helped us immensely as it was late at night when we arrived.. Thank goodness! Would definitely stay again xx

Was a really nice place to stay! Very clean and tidy and in really good condition. There was a sick as old dog that kept trying to sleep on the deck and would bark at ridiculous hours of the night and wake up our kids which wasn’t ideal. We didn’t realise there was a hot water booster until the hosts came to visit on the second day so had cold showers until then but that booster is a game changer!! Really close to everything in muri ! Would stay again!

The property was beautiful and clean. Would go there again. However, now that we know where it is located its not a problem. We couldn't find the place and drove for some time to find it. Had to ask the locals. The owner of the land doesn't want a sign there??? Instead it is signposted wirh amother name. Go figure...

Great accommodation, the unit has everything you could possibly need to self cater. Its a super easy walk to the best beach, but private enough to be away from the main road. The units allows access to facilities and pool of the Muri Beach Club resort which is a bonus. The air conditioning is a lovely addition to those hot afternoons just to cool the bedrooms for sleep and every room has a fan to circulate the cold air. The kitchen is well stocked with all the cutlery and plates you need to cook up meals. The hot water is super hot and the water pressure great. The owner is super responsive with text messages or phone calls and is happy to cater to your every need for a comfy stay. The beds are firm and soft at the same time, no sagging. The units comes with plenty of bathroom towels & beach towels so you won't need to pack those. It also comes with a washing machine to do any laundry. The dining area comes with a lovely dining setting and the loung is comfy and large. There is also a lovely porch at the front of the unit to enjoy sundowners or a BBQ. There is also a smaller porch out the back to sit and enjoy the back yard garden or feed the local chickens and chicks. There is a couple of super friendly dogs so be sure to pick up some dog food at the local grocery store or give them some of your left overs, the offer great company. There is a local bakery & smoothie/ coffee bar near by that offer a great selection of baked goods and vitamin rich tropical smoothies.

It's in a great location and the accommodation is lovely. Most things areat your finger tips. Sera is lovely and helpful. My few suggestions would be to add - some microwave dishes, instructions for the washing machine (unit 2 - dont know about other units) and a fitted sheet for the mattresses would be great, as the others move around & the bed making comes apart. Highly recommend as a place to stay. Thank you.

Better than amazing - Better than any 5 star resort if you don't mind no pool - GET A BIG SIN ON MAIN ROAD will finish it off beautifully.

This was a great choice for our family. 3 separate rooms, a big bathroom and a laundry. The villa looked brand new and was immaculate. I would highly recommend over a hotel as you have living space to relax in.
