Avana Waterfront Apartments

We stayed here as a couple for nine days and nights in August 2024 and loved it. It is about 20 minutes walk in to Muri where there are plenty of places to eat and drink. You may want to have your own transport if you stay here, although the bus stop is only five minutes walk and buses every half hour. We had bicycles for the entire time and rode everywhere on the island, the only downside being that we needed to be off the road before dark, around 1815 in August. Desiree was a fabulous host and we would definitely stay here again on a return visit.. Andrew and Alice Australia

Great accommodation and beautiful views over the lagoon to the 3 small islands. Close to town, close to Muri Beach and all the activities. Clean, well maintained Studio apartment. But the biggest plus is Desiree and her staff. No matter what we needed, Desiree had an answer or a solution and always offered to help or sort things for us!

Be careful when booking of you need to cancel .. they take your money straight away but if the currency rate changes you will be out of pocket even though they state no cancellation fee Be aware when booking

Typical of what you would expect from apartments. However….. right on the inlet with their own jetty. Lovely to walk out either morning or afternoon and feed the fish. Your own reef fish on the doorstep just as good as any other location. Kayaks and snorkelling gear provided. Turtles off the end of the jetty. I don’t think you would get that anywhere else. Close to Muri beach with the food market and a whole host of activity options. It was the nice touches like a personalised welcome note on the door when you arrive, fruit and bread already there that made a difference. But the main asset was Desiree. Nothing was a problem and she was always there to assist with anything.

The staff was awesome, location was good. Gardens and pool were awesome. But there was cupboard’s falling apart, The wardrobe had a real bad smell so I wouldn’t hang my clothes. Very hard to get out of the driveway on to the main road. We never got any replenishment (milk, coffee, tea,suger) Room was only serviced every 3-4 days.

We absolutely loved our stay at avana waterfront! Desiree could not have been more lovely and made us feel so at home. She was so accommodating letting us arrive early, and stay right up until we had to leave for the airport - so kind and so appreciated! Our portacot was set up for us when we got there and bits and pieces in the fridge to start us off. The apartments are in an amazing location right on the water and the jetty to watch and feed fish. Lovely swimming right outside your apartment door! A nice 20 min walk into muri or a short drive. We will be back to stay again. Thankyou for everything!
