Muri Beachcomber

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay in early October. The sea view rooms are well positioned for views but also catch the prevailing SE winds at that time of year. The rooms are spacious with comfortable bed and kitchenette. The pool is sheltered so is lovely to sit around but is unheated so too cold for us (at this time of year)."
