Magic Reef Bungalows

Lovely beach bungalows, location is stunning, with beautiful ocean views and easy access to the beach. Clean, comfortable, and well equipped, perfect place to relax. A peaceful tropical atmosphere and warm hospitality by Lawrence, Simonne and Team. Will definitely stay here again, highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing beachfront getaway.

Highly recommend a stay here, the bungalows are unique, amazing and well thought out. Fruit platter and breakfast items on arrival are a nice touch.
Sunset location is fantastic and walkable to some great restaurants & cafes.
Hosts Lawrence & Simmone and Alix on the front desk make your stay easy, plenty of local knowledge and as an added bonus they have their own onsite rental cars.
You won't go wrong staying here on your Cook Islands holiday.

Magic Reef is true to its name! A magical retreat beside the warm lagoon waters and looking out to the awesome waves over the reef!
Our beautifully appointed Beach Villa was divine! The bed was bliss!
We were just a short stroll to the best café on the island, Beluga!
Simonne and Lawrence are the perfect hosts!
Their electric cars, available for hire, are great to explore the delights of the Island. Magic Reef made our stay!

We had the bestest time and we cant fault anything about this place, Lawrence and Simonne are amazing hosts they definitely know how to make you feel welcome along with there very friendly staff. Beautiful views. Our bungalow inside and out was very clean with everything we needed for our stay and the fruit platter on arrival was perfect. We will definitely be back.

Everything was excellent. From friendly hosts, beautifully landscaped grounds, great bungalow with sea views, to an amazing beachfront area to relax and unwind. We loved our stay.

The best spot on Rorotonga, Bamboo Cottage on the beach, BEAUTIFUL Sunset every night. Cottage equipped with kitchen or just a hop skip and jump either way take to a Beach Bar/Restaurant. Can't wait to go back.

Living on Raro it is tricky to slip into holiday mode when life is full on. Well I read my first book in many many years. That is how relaxed and 'magical' reef bungalows are. Meitaki for a much needed getaway and for such warmth & welcome from the team.

I love this side of the island. The staff are friendly and very accommodating. The bungalows are incredible. I highly recommend the fruit breakfasts they’re great. My only complaint is very minor, they state they have snorkel gear to borrow but it’s all in various states of disrepair. But this isn’t a dive resort so it’s expected. We didn’t rent a car from them but the fleet of cars looked very nice (and new). The drinking water was excellent, I would 100% stay here again.

We absolutely loved our 1 week holiday in Magic Reef.
Everything was perfect… it's worth every penny.
The owners were very accommodating (small things like umbrellas, yoga matts, BBQ grill etc) and clearly loved what they did.
Excellent location with nice restaurants easy walking distance.
We ended by using the BBQ few nights which was great also.
We will for be back at the same place if/when returning.

We absolutely loved our stay at Magic Reef Beachfront Bungalows. It’s peaceful, beautifully maintained, and has that perfect mix of resort comfort and relaxed, self-catering independence.
Our one-bedroom bungalow was stunning — private, spacious, and filled with Pacific charm. The outdoor bath and shower were amazing, and the Shipwreck Pool was my favourite spot; I swam every day and often had it all to myself!
Lawrence and Simone, the hosts, are incredible — friendly, genuine, and always up for a chat or to share local tips. Their warmth and the lovely staff made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived.
We loved being slightly out of the busier areas but still close enough to everything we needed. The gardens, the beach, and the overall vibe are just magic.
A perfect place to unwind, reconnect, and soak up true island life. Highly recommend – we’ll definitely be back!

We had a fabulous stay at Magic Reef. Our Bungalow on the beach was perfect. The views were divine as were the sunsets. We saw Whales breeching from the beach. Simone & Lawrence looked after us and there were many special touches to make us feel at home. We highly recommend.

A beautiful beach side location (very few people there) Certainly felt peaceful and uninterrupted. Great room, a whole cabin with double 4 poster. Exterior shower… delightful. Lovely pool — only one child seen all week!
Great value for the location and small number of chalets — away from the crowds and the buffet madness. Clean, comfortable, lovely staff on site to lend a hand or offer advice. Shuttle service (a cost) will collect and drop you from the airport.
Fruit platter on arrival, juice, milk, cereal and ground coffee all available.
Set away from the road so no noisy trucks — just the lapping of the waves to send you to sleep. Certainly recommended and an onus is the Waterline restaurant walking distance 5 mins on the beach form the Bungalows. Great spot for cocktails and a sunset dinner. The 'On the Beach restaurant' also a firm winner, a little fuser up the beach.
Definitely the west coast is the way to go for this holiday experience. Whale season gave us an added treat! Plenty of passing mothers and calves.
Highly recommended! I'll book again.

We absolutely loved our stay at Magic Reef Bungalows! The place was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had such a relaxing vibe. The staff were super friendly, welcoming, and went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience – highly recommend Magic Reef to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable stay in paradise. 🌴✨

They were all warm and welcoming. Jason was kind and helped us with airport drop and pickup. He also gave us good suggestions as we were new to the town. Simon was really sweet and gave us muesli jar whenever we asked. Rooms were clean. The best part was the outdoor shower!

We stayed in one of the two-bedroomed bungalows, which was perfect for our family of four. It was decorated very tastefully, with the kitchen kitted out perfectly. Our highlights included the outdoor shower area, the lovely deck, and the manicured tropical gardens, all of which were a credit to the friendly and welcoming staff. With a beautiful little pathway to the beach, and close to many of the good eating places, Magic Reef is a perfect location. We would highly recommend Magic Reef Bungalows and we will definitely return again. Thank you, Simone, Jane and all the team.

Our week at Magic Reef was awesome! The villas are beautiful and modern. There was a lovely platter in the fridge for our first breakfast along with fresh orange juice, milk, and water. The outdoor bathroom is wonderful, the bed very comfortable, great Wi-Fi, TV with Netflix, comfy sofa, and the view from the deck lounges of all villas is spectacular. Simonne was so welcoming and helpful and we loved the availability of electric cars to hire which came in very handy on a couple of rainy days. We had access to a laundry, pool and great seating and lounges beach front. The grounds of the Magic Reef are immaculate. Loved Magic Reef!

Loved our stay at Magic Reef.
The location is perfect, peaceful, and right by the ocean. The bungalow was clean, cozy, and beautifully set for a relaxing getaway.
Simone was truly amazing — kind, attentive, and always ready to help with anything we needed. Her warmth made all the difference and made us feel completely at home.
The entire staff was just as wonderful, their attention to detail and kindness made the whole experience unforgettable.
Can’t recommend this place enough — 10/10 experience from start to finish!
