We had 5 days there and the hosts were lovely couple, greeting us on arrival with huge tray of fresh fruit and bringing more mangoes and bananas than we could eat! Beautiful views of the sea from the house/apartment and gorgeous flowers in the laneway all the way to the main road, a couple of minutes walk. Snorkelling beach just... More

We had 4 weeks here, and it was excellent value, so cheap. The owner come up once day or every second day, which they would do any thing for you to help you have a nice stay. I most enjoyed the pool and BBQ area. You can have a swim to cool down and cook dinner and then swim again.... More

We loved our stay at Muri Retreat. Steve and Phoebe made us feel very welcome and the apartment was simple but very well equiped and the garden and pool are exceptional. Ask Phoebe where her daughter Kaura is performing. She was singing for the diners on the beach at the Pacific Resort. A romantic spot on the lagoon good food... More

We really enjoyed our stay at Muri Retreat. Recommend you book the large room on the second floor - stunning views and a lovely balcony to watch the sunrise and sunsets. Also I think this room provides the most privacy. Unfortunately it rained for the first four days we were there, plus it was Christmas day and Boxing day so... More

I found with some discrepancies with a few of the reviews, and I would like provide detailed information to help out inquiring travelers. For my 9 day stay, it was a mixture of pros and cons, with most of the cons out of anyone’s control. The price on the room for the week was a very good deal and one... More

Phoebe and Steve, we haven't forgotten about our stay at Muri! My husband and I stayed in the Moko (gecko) apartment for 12 nights in September of 2011 and loved it! The property is set back off of the main road, so is very peaceful and quiet. The grounds are immaculately kept (we saw the owners out almost every morning... More

Phoebe and Steve are great hosts, they make you feel home and are helpful in every way to guarantee for a pleasant stay in their place. We stayed in the Kaute apartment for two weeks and enjoyed the location and nearby beaches. There are a few minor issues, which I take into consideration when given a rating to the Muri... More

They made every effort to ensure we had everything we needed and we thoroughly enjoyed meeting them. The apartment was clean, spacious had everything we needed for our stay. The air conditioning worked well... More

We loved our return trip to Muri Retreat. Phoebe and Steve are the "best hosts" you could have in Rarotonga. They are very keen to make sure you have everything you need and are always interesting and fun to talk to. Their apartments are always very clean and Phoebe makes sure the final touches are there with flowers and fruit!... More
