Kept up to date, quick tour was much appreciated. When booking again will arrange a scooter, to explore more. 👌👌👌 ##### Celeste Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Jan 24, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Living Space: The area is compact and organized, with an efficient kitchen joining a large room with bed. The lofted ceilings make it roomier and uncrowded. Kitchen was well equipped. Patio area is spacious with nice view. Sunrises are gorgeous. Bathroom: Large space with walk-in shower. No tub. Large mirror above sink. Water pressure was excellent and hot water was plentiful. Towels are large and soft. Cleanliness and Amenities: My unit was spotless and well equipped. Large tv has Netflix, Prime, etc. (You use your own login). Overhead fan made a/c unnecessary (I was there in January, summer time). Health and Well Being: Tap water is filtered. No need to buy bottled water. Expect some insects; this is the South Pacific. You'll find geckos all over, including the bed. But they eat most of the annoying pests. All windows and patio doors are screened. Area is quiet. However, free range chickens are common in S. Pacific, so if early morning roosters bother you, cheap earplugs can fix that. Overall: Highly recommend Muri Retreat. Hosts go out of their way to orient you and make sure everything goes smoothly. ##### John Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Luis James Dec 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We had an amazing stay at Muri retreat!

So peaceful and quiet and beautiful grounds. I was downstairs and asked to move to the vacant upstairs room when new guests moved in above me. Every noise they made carried downstairs... but there was little to no noise carried through to the adjacent upstairs room which was great. If you want peace and quiet, go for upstairs! You'll also get a view out towads Muri beach. It's so close to everything - Muri Night Markets, Koka Lagoon Cruise, Te Vara Nui, cafes, Te Ara Museum and Cafe and Artspace, resorts (for day-tripping or meals) and rental car/bike facilities. Your hosts are chilled, laid back, friendly and just bloody good people. They'll ensure you have the best time at their place. ##### ProjectAroha Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Johanna Jul 18, 2022 I never went to Rarotonga. I cancelled this stay due to medical conditions and large increase in covid numbers in NZ and Expedia never actioned this via Liv Johnson, Muri retreat. We both checked and the dates I had cancelled and these were still NOT available for anyone else to book. I tried to contact Expedia’s virtual assistant to cancel but it would NOT accept my email address or the Muri booking retreat number. I contacted Liv Johnson and she said Expedia has not replied to her also. I now have asked Liv for Expedia’s contact but no info as yet. Just to add this booking should never have happened with Expedia as Liv Johnson said they were offline with Muri retreat. When I contacted Liv , Muri retreat, the initial booking wasn’t even loaded with them via Expedia. Liv then made me a booking which I had to end up cancelling. This whole process was a mess and still is as I want a full refund and don’t know how/whom/find expedias contacts.I have asked Muri retreat to email me a letter that I cancelled booking and for Expedias contacts due to medical reasons. I have still not received this from Liv Johnson, Muri retreat ##### Johanna Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 16, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Located in a quiet area But theres a phone thay dosen't go ordered a pick up form airport but didnt turn up ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Oct 10, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved that this great place was slightly tucked away, but such a quick walk to everything you could need - including the beach!

Highly recommend the Muri Retreat if you are wanting a quiet place to stay. Located a wee way from the main road, only a short walk to shops and the beach. ##### Patrick Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dallas Jan 19, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 3 weeks in paradise A little paradise- Phoebe and Steve are the best hosts you could ever hope for. The accommodations had everything we needed for preparing our meals, laundry, comfie beds and a refreshing pool. Short walk down a hill to the restaurants, beaches and shops at Muri Beach. Loved it!
