John
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.

The communication from beginning to the arrival to the departure. Kept up to date, quick tour was much appreciated. When booking again will arrange a scooter, to explore more. 👌👌👌
Steven
Tucked away but so easy to get to the beach and local amenities. Simon and Denise are lovely hosts, great local knowledge and very informative. They made sure we were able to get the most out of our short stay.
Diane
Peaceful and perfect for my needs
Erica
We arranged for airport transfer, was provided with very detailed instructions on when and where to meet. The apartment was clean, spacious, and kitchen as fully stocked with utensils for cooking. Great location, very close to the beach. Would absolutely stay again
Tony
We had a very relaxing time and took advantage of the rental car option on site. No issues highly recommended
Luis James
We had an amazing stay at Muri retreat! Simon and Denise are great hosts who have thought of everything! The apartment was very clean and had all the amenities! We would highly recommend this place! Thank you for having us.

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

Loved that this great place was slightly tucked away, but such a quick walk to everything you could need - including the beach! The view from my top floor apartment was beautiful, especially at sunrise. Steve went above and beyond - a very kind, accommodating host! :)

week on Buis
First time to stay with this place and it was perfect, just far enough out of town to be nice and quite yet close enough to be walkable, which i didn't!! hosts are great people, I will be back, thank yopu
Patrick
A small but very cosy place with lovely, accomodating hosts, Steven & Phoebe. 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.

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! Would return in a heartbeat 💗

I was the only guest here for the first few nights. 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.
