Te Manava Luxury Villas & Spa

Beautiful. We loved our stay at Te Manava and the look on my wife's face when she walked into the villa for the first time was just priceless. Couldn't ask for more! The staff were helpful and it was convenient to be attached to the Pacific Resort also for their amenities. 5 Star

Excellent accommodation in pristine paradise location. Our Villa was amazing overlooking the beautiful lagoon and the staff catered to all our requests without exception and were great. If you're looking for premium outstanding accommodation look no further than Te Manava - you simply won't be disappointed.

We stayed in the Ultimate Beachfront Villa, what stunning accommodation. Stepping from your private veranda straight into the beach, swimming in your own private pool, snorkeling direct from the beach or just relaxing in your quiet spacious air conditioned room it was an unforgettable experience. The staff were super friendly and helpful, nothing was a problem. The free shuttle to Sandals bar and restaurant and charge back to your room is great. Handy shops directly across the road for snacks and essentials, and the Love Coffee Cart is definitely worth a visit. A great experience we hope to repeat.

Arrived from Sydney early in the morning. So when we arrived and informed our villa was not available this came at no surprise. We were allowed to use the facilities at the pacific resort until the vial was ready. When we were transfers back to our room we were so pleased with it. Private enclosed pool and court yard which led to a kitchen diner area with everything you needed washer/dryer , fridge, hob, microwave , and all the pans and utensil’s. A welcome pack of milk etc would have enhanced this although there were coffee pods. The sleeping /lounge area of the open room was spacious as well as the shower room. All to a good specification and comfortable. There’s a path that led through to a lovely beach although the waters too shallow to bathe in. There is across the not so busy main road a small supermarket to get essentials like wine. Also a Vietnamese street food outlet and in the mornings a coffee station that makes a good brew. We really enjoyed our time there in comfort and appreciated being always in clean clothing.

Great location, villas are lovely and clean and have everything you need, staff friendly, helpful and hospitable, close to great snorkeling, bars, cafes, restaurants, shops. We had a group of 25 and it worked well as we had privacy but also enough space in one of the villas for the adults and another villa for the teenagers. Also a bonus that they are associated with Pacific Resort just down the road so you can charge up food and drinks to your room when staying at Te Manava.

We were on our first trip to the Cook Islands and had no idea what to expect. The people on the island excelled, and I would have to say it has become one of my favorite places to visit. Arrival and Check-In From the airport to the villa was easy, just a quick shuttle away. The check-in was a breeze, and we were made to feel welcome from the beginning. Accommodation We had a beachfront villa with a plunge pool. The villa was well appointed with everything you need and a bit more. The villa comes with free Wi-Fi, which is important as the local Vodafone offering for tourists is quite expensive. The photos on the site don’t do justice to how nice the place is. Location and Amenities Straight across the road is a good mini-mart and coffee cart, and a great bar and restaurant called Mai’i Cafe & Bar about 250m down the road. The location is the best spot on the island. The Muri Lagoon has beautiful, turquoise waters that are magical. The night markets are close by; check out the “Yacht Club” as well. Tips If you are an AUS Telstra customer, global roaming does not work in the Cook Islands. There is a car and bike rental shop across the road called Cook Island Car Rentals. We had a buzz box car, a Toyota, for around $50.00 per day. We found prices like groceries and eating out about the same as in Australia and pub prices; there were no hidden surprises. Just go, you will love it!
