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.

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!

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 😊

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).

About the host

Hosted by Linda Nightingale

Host profile image

Although our family live in New Zealand, this home keeps us closely tied to Rarotonga and to one another. For many years, our mother has lived with my husband and me in NZ, and we are blessed to take her back to Raro at least three times a year. Each visit allows her to reconnect with family, enjoy the beauty of the island, and see the changes and growth of the home she loves so dearly.

Today, I have the privilege of managing Turou Retreat on behalf of our family. I do my very best to ensure every guest experiences it as we do — not just as a holiday house, but as a true home away from home. A place to relax, unwind, and feel comfortable.

We hope that during your stay, you feel the warmth, love, and heritage that make Turou Retreat so special to us.

Why they chose this property

Turou Retreat is situated off the main road where is much quieter from the roar of the sea, traffic and barking dogs. In Nov 2019 we installed air conditioning units in the bedrooms for your comfort at night or day. The house is surrounded by very friendly locals and there is that feeling of being part of the Island life.... chickens , rooster, cats, banana trees, Paw paw trees, guava and passionfruit and did I mention 'roosters' ( you'll know what I mean lol.)

What makes this property unique

2 Km to Muri Beach that has great restaurants, Lagoon Cruises, Diving operators, Swimming with the Turtles, in fact all water sports, Bars, convenience/ liquor stores, Buggy rides etc etc
Whatever your heart desires while on holiday Rarotonga can certainly accommodate.
