We had a good time and I prefer Ikurangi to a large busy hotel, but I think for the price it is in need of maintenance. We stayed in a traditional room. These were spacious and had a lot of privacy. But a few things were broken, rusting etc. We also had about 4 paper wasps come in our room every day even with windows and doors closed (they weren't aggressive but a bit unnerving). Vicky and Alan were great. They gave us spray for the wasps, and lots of useful information on arrival. Everyday Alan makes a new breakfast. They are not large but were always delicious and waking up each day to a new surprise was a joy. So we had a nice time. Hopefully they can do some maintenance to get the place up to a resort standard, or lower the price. We paid $250 per night. But based on other places we stayed in Rarotonga and the Pacific, I think $190 would be more appropriate. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e7362dfb-41a2-4622-a69c-315dca917dfb-1753948595843.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b2e5e81f-196f-4e41-a14f-b4f1673cb3c4-1753948596060.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/62c1ea2b-2cad-4635-948f-0c3ba651b6d3-1753948595567.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Nadia Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eva Oct 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I was looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway and Ikurangi certainly delivered. I stayed in a luxury tent and it had everything I needed for a great stay. The facilities are well maintained and Vicki and Alan are incredibly welcoming. The daily breakfasts were wonderful. The bus was only 5 minutes walk away and the access to bicycles was also great. I will return! ##### Eva Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gregory Jan 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Ikurangi Is such a great way to not only stay on Raro, but fully experience the local culture of the island. The resort is in a peaceful neighborhood but still close enough to hear the ocean. The pool is at the right temperature and each day we were treated to a different breakfast with locally sourced food and the portions were plenty large. Our accommodation were clean and comfortable and you never felt any of the world around you. This is a great way to experience Rarotonga. ##### Gregory Stayed 8 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simon Oct 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We really enjoyed glamping, including the outdoor bathroom and composting loo! It was very clean, convenient but one or two things were a bit tired, eg basin shelf, toilet lid. The breakfasts were a great start to the day, and there was so much room not just in the tent area, but the immediate vicinity which contrasted so well with some of the resort facilities where rooms are on top of one another and conversation with neighbours is hard to avoid. The gardens are lovely and well maintained. We had a car which was very useful but not essential. ##### Simon Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Graeme Sep 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Arrived early hours of the morning. Reception unmanned. Driver of airport minivan is your concierge. Might be pot luck if he knows where your tent is. Ours wasn't sure. Tent 4 overlooks carpark and office. Not as private as tents 1, 2, 3 and uncomfortable with people looking directly into tent 4 from the carpark. Roosters roam all over Rarotonga including Ikurangi - crowing all night long. Noisy road outside Tent 4 - sleep may escape you. Equipment within the tent is poor/cheap quality. Bedding smelt damp. Ensuite benchtop varnish is peeling off. Breakfasts are varied and delivered to the tent around 8.30am each day. Mostly tinned fruit and gloopy coconut stuff. There were no children and related noise whilst we stayed which was the big bonus for us. Other occupants kept to themselves as we did. Location is not near the ocean and is away from the resorts - another bonus. No outside light for sitting on the deck in the evenings. For this to be real "eco", we would have liked the electricity to be solar powered. Overall, we enjoyed our stay mostly as we simply accept what is without fuss. We thought the use of the word "luxury" was a stretch but maybe not in comparison with a 2-man tent from KMart. Expensive for what it is. PS. room not serviced on the first day! Charged a lot more for 1 extra night (as we had a late arrival) than what we paid via Expedia despite the retreat having a "price promise"- not honoured Such is life. ##### Graeme Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Engela Jul 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff are professional, friendly and make you feel at home. Very helpful and cared for their guests. Nice and clean place to stay in a quiet area and you are walking distance to catch a bus. ##### Engela Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine Aug 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great spot away from the main road Nice quiet location off the main road, exactly what I was hoping for with the glamping tent with outdoor bath/shower, well looked after and great service ##### Catherine Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### david Jun 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities super nice owners, very clean and natural location, quiet, ##### david Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jesse Aug 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our stay at Ikurangi Eco Retreat was wonderful from start to finish. The staff were warm, welcoming, and very accommodating. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and set in such a peaceful environment. The retreat itself is beautifully maintained—the pathways are swept daily, and the gardens are kept lush and immaculate. One of the highlights was enjoying breakfast each morning on our balcony—such a perfect way to start the day! ##### Jesse Stayed 10 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ash Sep 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good place to stay if you want to try something a bit different ##### Ash Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Aug 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Fine but overpriced Checked in at 4pm, no one at reception but a big booklet. There’s no luxury about the tent, you can’t close it all the way up, never mind lock it. Despite the adverts it does smell a little. It was fine but completely overpriced. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan May 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved the peaceful ambience and location. Attentive hosts, highly recommended. ##### Susan Stayed 10 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacob May 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We loved our stay at Ikurangi - in fact, it was the highlight of our trip to Rarotonga! Vicki and Alan have created a beautiful, relaxing atmosphere for their guests, and we were taken aback by their thoughtfulness. The luxury safari tent had everything we needed, and both Vicki and Alan provided great guidance on how to make the most of our time on the island. Alan’s breakfasts were also amazing, and the cherry on top of our stay! We can’t wait to come back! ##### Jacob Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vanessa Jul 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities What a piece of paradise in paradise. Quite romantically beautiful in the glamping tents. Vicki and Alan are fantastic hosts, nothing is too much drama and breakfasts are deliciously homemade and vary each day. They have push bikes for free on site but would suggest hiring a car just so you can explore all the beauty of Raratonga and get to the wine shop to enjoy a glass on the balcony of the tent and absorb the view and serenity. We loved our stay :) ##### Vanessa Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trina Joyce Jun 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 🌺This picturesque sanctuary was just what the Dr ordered. It's away from the hustle and bustle and beautiful. The glamping experience was exceptional, just the way we remembered it from nearly a year prior. We love how we both breathed a sigh of relief and contentment, when we arrived, and we're very sad to leave. Vicki & Allen, we will definitely be back. ##### Trina Joyce Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacob Aug 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great relaxing place to stay ##### Jacob Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [voco Chicago Downtown - Riverwalk by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Chicago-Hotels-Voco-Chicago-Downtown.h76459163.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with smoking rooms in Kingston](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingston-Hotels-Hotels-With-Smoking-Rooms.0-0-d6057821-tHotelswithsmokingrooms.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias, A Trademark All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Bucerias-Hotels-Grand-Decameron-Complex-Bucerias.h485427.Hotel-Information) > > [Super 8 by Wyndham Kenora](https://www.expedia.ca/Kenora-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-Kenora.h855716.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Riviera Paradise All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Ocean-Riviera-Paradise-All-Inclusive.h15099903.Hotel-Information) > > [Family Hotels in Barbados](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Barbados-Family-Hotel.0-0-d16-tFamilyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Toronto Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-By-Hilton-Toronto-Airport.h911236.Hotel-Information) > > [101 Adrianou Luxury Urban Stay](https://www.expedia.ca/Athens-Hotels-101-Adrianou-Luxury-Urban-Stay.h27873636.Hotel-Information) > > [Rivergrass Condos](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Rivergrass-Condos.h63071978.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Resort Bukovel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bukovel-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Resort-Bukovel.h5270360.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d42-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Quality Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Suites.h12397.Hotel-Information) > > [Al Seef Heritage Hotel Dubai, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Dubai-Hotels-Al-Seef-Heritage-Hotel-Dubai.h27546056.Hotel-Information) > > [Lagoon Breeze Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-Lagoon-Breeze-Villas.h3007255.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Waterslides in Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Hotels-With-Waterslides.0-0-d178276-tHotelswithWaterslides.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [WestJet Calgary (YYC) to Saskatoon (YXE) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/westjet-from-calgary-intl-to-john-g-diefenbaker-intl/ws/yyc/yxe) > > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Taoyuan City (TPE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/tpe/vancouver-to-taipei) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Miami (MIA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/mia/halifax-to-miami) > > [SATA International-Azores Airlines S.A.
