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

Beautiful home close to everything
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.

Great Accommodation 😊
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 😊

Turou Retreat - a vacay_must stay perfect for families of all sizes
Definitely lives up to its name! It’s not only spacious, family friendly (and definitely ideal for large families and groups - just like mine), it has all the amenities needed to be self-sufficient (regardless of not having an oven). It’s in a great location accessible to all the bells and whistles of Rarotonga (and only a few minutes walk away from a beautiful snorkelling beach, Muri market just around the corner, and more) - it’s a home away from home! And, although the fruits weren’t quite ready for picking (because of the time we decided to travel) we can only imagine that this would have been the icing on the cake. Linda makes you feel so welcomed (before you even arrive on the island). The books that this family provide for guests to read - are superb - where you feel even more connected because you understand the journey this family has undergone to build this home. A definite “yes please, let’s stay here again” from our family.

Will 100% be back!
What a fantastic find! 5 minutes walk to the beach, and a cafe but not much further for more options. Set back off the beach so was a bit cooler and protected from the strong winds we had. Spacious, family friendly and so well equipped with everything we could need to be self sufficient. We loved being able to pick fresh passion fruit from the balcony and guava from the lane. Can’t wait to come back (but maybe with the kids this time as plenty of room).

Fabulous for a family!
Lovely spacious house for our family of two couples and two singles. We stayed a week and loved it. Everything worked well. It was great having the extras of a house like books to read, games to play, blankets to snuggle with on the couch, spaces to dry swimwear, and large tables to feast on. For those who like to cook not having an oven was annoying, however the kitchen is equipped with blender, yogurt maker, and electric frypan etc. Oh and I can’t forget to mention the amazing passionfruit!! Plus the the teens cooking night turned into a hilarious full scale drama as a rogue mouse had made a nest in the outside BBQ. Linda was so helpful with house info, tips on what to do and where to go. We would love to come back to stay next time we visit !!

Turou retreat stay
Overall we loved Turou Retreat . We got off to a rocky start as Linda had us arriving a day later but thanks to our resourceful taxi driver ,he helped us get in at 11 pm by finding the key, things improved. We never had a text that is usually sent prior to your arrival by Book a Bach, butLinda contacted us and apologised as she was away for a couple of days when we arrived. Turou was very well stocked with everything you could think of and is in beautifully designed gardens which are private and very sheltered. Easily accommodated the 7 of us and had an amazing deck which we spent most of our time on. A local lady was available if you needed help,but it was 3 days after we arrived before she contacted us. We would definitely stay at Turou Retreat again. Loved the 2 book history of how Turou Retreat came about.What an amazing lady the owner was and was still gardening there at 89👍
