September 10, 2017 by Rosemary Neave Leave a Comment

I think we made a great choice with Muri Beach Cottages - three small cottages each with their own view to Muri Lagoon, private but close to facilities and shops at Muri  a smaller one on the water - you need to be able bodied to cope with a ladder to bed, but the view is amazing - nothing between you and the lagoon. another more spacious one with a lovely … [Read more...]
