Lovely to stay in an Eco retreat in a luxury safari tent.

“it was an excellent choice”

beautiful garden, simple but efficient facilities like good water pressure and loads of hot water, comfortable bed, privacy, delicious breakfast daily delivered to your door. lovely hosts who are so accommodating.

“The glamping tent accommodation provided a unique and comfortable experience in a scenic setting.”

The property has a well-designed setup, with beautiful gardens and a nice pool. Its location is convenient, situated between the town and, in our opinion, Muri Beach, which we found to be the best on the island. This made it easy for us to enjoy everything the island has to offer. The host Allan had great tips and advice for restaurants and activities and he was never wrong.

“makes us want to find these places in other destinations as the experience was very pleasant”

the slecuded. quiet peaceful grounds, the air circulation of sleeping in the tent, air flow thru mesh mosquito mesh, out side enclosed bathroom facilities,the yoga barn and good selection of books to to read in comfy arm chairs very nice plunger coffee with plunger ,over all a very pleasant 5 nights spent at this echo retreat

Beautiful scenery, lovely staff and delicious breakfast.

Great location with bikes that allowed you to get around the island easily. Allan was a great host with plenty of great recommendations, and breakfast every morning was divine !

“A great place to stay, accommodation a bit tired. Would definitely stay again.”

Location was great. Garden was beautifully maintained. Pool was lovely. Views were fantastic. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Very comfortable stay in Rarotonga.

The location is a bit away from things. Our unit had mountain, papaya, and coconut views.

3 Geckos were in the room, running around the wall at night

“friendly and helpful hosts; yet basic, camping style accomodation”

Friendly hosts Good breakfast

“Immersive nature experience at the eco retreat”

We really enjoyed staying at the Eco retreat, we arrived a bit early but Vicki got us checked in which was appreciated. She also gave us lots of information on how to get around, on what to do etc.. They have lots of maps and booklets at reception which are handy. The tent was bigger and better equipped than we expected from the photos. It doesn't feel like camping at all, it's more like a spacious room, the bed is huge and extremely comfy, we slept really well and the pillows were perfect for us. Other highlights were the swimming pool, super refreshing after a sweaty day and we had it all to ourselves every day! We also loved the outdoor bathroom, showering under the palm trees looking at the Pacific pigeons was a great experience. We had milk, fresh water and a room turndown everyday, breakfast delivered to our tent and even a chia pudding in the fridge ready for our 6am wakeup. We found the bikes really handy, yes they are vintage and a bit old, but honestly the road is so flat and in this area of Raro there are no potholes, we made the most of them and used them every day, to get to the start of the Needle track, to go to Town for shopping and to go snorkelling at the Fruits of Rarotonga. If you like cycling it will be a breeze, 20 mins each way maximum and you get to see so much more that way! For a couple of our dinner reservations we caught the bus which was handy as well. It was great not having to use a car for 3 days.

“Would come back”

It was quiet and relaxing - Alan and Vicky were amazing hosts and their cleaner was so helpful

“Our stay was peaceful and memorable, with thoughtful service and a perfect location”

Our stay at the Ikurangi Eco Retreat was wonderful. My partner and I wanted something different for our holiday and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. My partner and I arrived late due to unforeseen circumstances and was worried when Alan and Vicky did not respond to our messages. However, when we arrived they had printed out a notice for us regarding the location of our cabin. It was nice to have breakfast served every morning and they also provide a local phone to make calls if needed. We are very appreciative of Alan who gave us a lift into the nearest island car hire the next morning. Thank you Alan! The location of the accommodation was perfect and quiet. Close to the bakery where they also serve really nice coffee. On the property there is yoga and a salt water pool which we thought was amazing, but we didn't use. There is also a giant avocado tree which had heaps of ripe avocadoes which were delicious! We had a fabulous and unique stay, thank you Alan and Vicky.

Everything was on point, would recommend gladly.

Our hosts!!

“Real natural experience”

External bathroom was amazing with a million star over your head The breakfast really delicious and new every morning The garden is beautiful and well kept

Awesome and peaceful location, loved our stay at Ikurangi! Breakfast from Alan was something we looked forward to every day and Vicky was super helpful with helping us book activities.

“A great place to relax and unwind.”

We were looking for a base from which we could visit all the sights, but also be able to return and relax. Ikurangi proved ideal. It was conveniently located, but had a degree of serenity which is not easily found in the beachside areas. We very much enjoyed our walks around the area and the locals were always friendly and courteous. The pool was a great spot to relax on a quiet day, Possum the cat would pop over to say hello. The hosts and staff could not have been nicer. We walked to M & R Roast for dinner, it was a great meal, whilst being serenaded by a local singer. There are also cafes and convenience stores not too far away.

“Awesome location to base yourselves or spend a restful day enjoying the quiet!”

The breakfasts were amazing, hosts were helpful. The location was so quiet and restful!
