Muri Retreat is a perfect place for enjoying the fantastic nature of Rarotonga. We stayed there for 5 days in a apartment on the first floor of the house located in a peaceful quiet spot midst of meadows and trees. It takes about a 5 minutes walk on a paved but private road down to the fantastic Muri beach a... more

We stayed in the gecko room (downstairs) for 3 nights. We had cooking facilities, king bed, big bathroom and barely saw the other guests. It is in a great location for snorkeling & swimming at Muri beach, without the high expense. The walk was about 5-10 min to the beach (down hill). This didn’t bother us as we hired a... more

It has been my wife's and my pleasure to again spend 2 weeks holiday at Muri Retreat. It was another awsome experience with great accommodation and the excellent hosts Steve and Phoebe. This place is a rare find and once found never to be lost. We have today returned home but are already planning our next return!! more

We spent 16 days at Muri Retreat and didn't want to go home!! We chose to walk or bus everywhere and not hire a scooter or car as alot of people do. Why rush around the Island? What's the hurry? We were there to relax and slow down the pace of our lives, which we certainly did do! Muri Retreat... more

We stayed at Muri Retreat for a week at the end of our round the world trip. It was just what we needed. Peaceful location, stunning views of the lagoon from our balcony, and a large comfortable, well equipped room. We were greeted by Phoebe, one of the owners, who made us feel immediately at home, and as though it... more

This place really is a winner. Whilst there is much talk about staying on the beach itself, murie is set back on a hillside with views to the ocean and is so peaceful. And only a short walk down the hill to the beach itself. The rooms are very well kept and equipped. We stayed downstairs but I am sure... more

Together with 5 others, we booked all four apartments at Muri Retreat for a 9 day holiday with 7 of our friends (2 of our number were just down the lane). Notwithstanding the group holiday, this was such a romantic setting! I couldn't take enough photos to capture the beauty of the older style building, with its balconies and patios,... more

We spent a week of our honeymoon in one of the upper apartments which had a large patio deck with a breath taking view of the ocean and mountain side. It was incredible to wake up every morning, sit outside with a fresh cup of coffee and eat breakfast, while embracing our little piece of paradise. The room was very... more

We travelled to Rarotonga in August 2009 for a family wedding and Muri Retreat was a fantastic choice for our 8 night stay there. We stayed in the Kaute apartment. Steve and Phoebe were absolutely marvellous hosts - we certainly felt very looked after! The apartment was impeccably spotless, modern, had fantastic views and was set in a lovely environment... more
