Turou Retreat was a great set up for pur family of 6. Plenty of space to spread out and a well stocked kitchen for meals at home.Loved having a coffee on the deck and enjoying the visiting chickens, dog and cat from nearby!Although it seemed up in the mountains, it was only a 10 minute walk down to a great snorkelling spot too.
Great property we had a few issues as things happen but our host was very responsive and ensured any issues were resolved as soon as possible. Nice quiet location great for large families.
Awesome place would definitely stay again. Great spacious layout, awesome location perfect for a family

Our stay in Rarotonga was nothing short of paradise. The island itself is simply stunning — crystal-clear water, lush greenery, and that relaxed island atmosphere that makes you unwind the moment you arrive.The house is absolutely lovely — spacious, cool, and perfectly set up for a family stay. It truly feels like a home away from home. This is actually the second time we’ve stayed here, and we’re already thinking about when we can come back again!Thank you, Linda, for sharing your slice of heaven with us. Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed the stay and we are so grateful to you and your family for allowing us the use of your beautiful home. We can’t wait to return.
The Host emailed clear directions to get to the property. On arrival, we couldnt fault the cleanliness or believe how spacious it was. Just perfect for my large tribe.The beach and nearby shops were easy to walk to 10-15 mins.We were lucky enough to have brilliant days so beach and swimming everyday.Kitchen facilities and outdoor BBQ was awesome as we shopped for a small grocery items such as breakfast and a few dinners. Was lovely to read about the families beginnings and how Turou Retreat came to be.Also had a variety of brochures about all the different activities in and around Rarotonga which was superb.Thank you so much for this glorious opportunity to experience Rarotonga for all of us.Meitaki Maata. God bless We already trying to plan our next trip home

We had a fantastic time. Everything was as it showed. It’s a perfect venue for a large family stay. If I had 1 complaint it would be the hot water supply. But we managed and as it was very warm it didnt really matter

Thank you so much for your kind feedback! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay at Turou Retreat.
Apologies for the issue with the hot water — it’s possible the booster was working hard to keep up with the high usage from multiple guests.
I truly appreciate your 5-star rating and look forward to welcoming you back again in the future.
Kia Manuia,
Turou Retreat was everything I hoped it would be. It is a lovely, clean, spacious and well equipped family home. The large deck lends itself to relaxing, eating your brekkie, enjoying a G&T or whatever takes your fancy. We had a birthday BBQ lunch and everyone agreed it was the ideal setting.Thank you so much Linda to you and your family for making your home available and welcoming.We loved our stay. I did not want to leave!!Best wishesGlenys

This was an amazing property and perfect for what we qere looking for. Lots of room to spread out and close enough distance to walk to Muri. We did have a car which made exploring the island easy, especially if it rained. There was everything you needed for your stay. Thanks for letting us stay and being so helpful.

We stayed for a month and had an enjoyable relaxing time mainly dining on the deck or lounging on the lawn. The house was ideal for our needs with our party size growing to 9 for a few days. Kitchen well equipped along with two fridges ideal for our needs. Definitely worked for an our family. Thank you

Beautiful house , shame it’s full of black mold, you have to refil gas bottles and water tank
The house its self is lovely. However the smell of mold is terrible. When we actually went searching for the smell there is black mold on every single mattress in the house. And on the couch too. There was algae in the main water bottle that is for drinking water.
If you run out of water you have to pay for a truck to have it refilled, if you run out of gas your expected to pay for it too. We payed over $4k to stay here and sleep on moldy mattresses. This property should be pulled off stayz. Owners did not care just thanked me for my honesty
Save your money and stay in a 5star resort

I find this review very harsh as there are clear instructions for our guests in my arrival email, and at the house in our compendium and welcome notice. The instructions state that if there are any issues during their stay that they need to contact our On-Site Property Manager. To notify us till after their 2 week stay was over, then asking for a partial refund is not a fair practice. It is also insulting to say we did not care, I needed time to follow up with our On-site Property Manager to access the problem. The first complaint to me was about 2 of the mattresses and now it is all of them (after their departure) which was not the case. I assure you that if we had been contacted at the first sign of any problem during their stay, any issue would have been rectified immediately, as we pride ourselves on our guests comfort, as our previous reviews show.
Our family (3 generations) enjoyed staying at Turou retreat. The house provided the space we needed and gave us the option to cook our own meals. The location is great. Everything is close by on Rarotonga. We loved going to ice cream and had some amazing meals at local restaurants. Thank you Linda and family for letting us stay in your house!

We super enjoyed the stay at Turou. I think the online pictures don't do it justice. This place is much bigger and nicer than we expected. Its tidy and nicely laid out. The air conditioned bedrooms make it very comfortable. Thanks Linda and family for letting us stay here. Massive memories.
Turou Retreat is a great place to stay, we loved the personal touches of the books about the family & there journey of buliding Torou ❤ there was everything you needed there for a great holiday, close walking distance to a snolking beach and not far from Muri, we hired a van which was great, it was only a couple of hundred more than paying for transfers for 8 of us. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to all families. Thankyou 😊
