United States of AmericaLovely big bed and spacious room in the Safari tent. Yummy breakfasts and ultra friendly management/staff
New ZealandReally welcoming and cozy. Loved having bikes to use. Pool area is sublime, especially to cool off on hot day.
United States of AmericaVikki and Alan are really friendly and feel like they are interested in what you are doing on raratonga. Breakfast is amazing as is the pool. Little things like bottles of fresh cold water in the fridge shows they care. Would definitely recommend.
United KingdomIkurangi Eco Resort was all that and more , Luxurious, beautiful healthy breakfasts, quiet and tranquil. I loved staying here, most of all I got the best rest that my body required. The pool was lovely. Unaware there was no kitchen facilities our hosts kindly cooked our sausages, yum.
New ZealandDefinitely exceeded our expectations. The room is awesome and has most things you need. Gave off a very luxurious vibe and the outdoor bathroom area was beautiful. Breakfast every morning was gorgeous, with beautiful tropical fruits and smoothies. Very cool experience for something a bit different than a resort. Staff were amazing!
New ZealandThe breakfasts were nice although nowhere near large enough for active Island hoppers/holiday makers. It was excellent having no kids in the retreat. The tents, peacefulness and serenity were mostly great, outdoor bathrooms were beautiful, the amenities, tent and retreat were very clean, pool was perfect, the peaceful drive off the main road and the manager Dean who went above and beyond for all guests. Our experience would not have been this amazing if it wasn't for Dean!
AustraliaEverything was absolutely amazing!! Breakfast was served fresh everyday and it was delicious, Dean and Emma were awesome and so helpful with everything. The location was beautiful, it was so calm and relaxing!
AustraliaGreat glamping tent experience with amazing breakfast every morning. Tents are spacious, bed is very big and comfortable. Amazing outdoor bathroom. Quiet and peaceful surroundings.

Host Info
Award winning Ikurangi Eco Retreat is the Cook Islands first purpose-built eco accommodation and glamping hotel created to give visitors to Rarotonga the option of a getaway that doesn't compromise the environment. Set amongst organic tropical gardens and local plantations with dramatic mountain views, get back to nature and indulge in a luxurious eco escape like no other.
All guests enjoy a complimentary daily tropical breakfast delivered to your room featuring the organic fruit abundant on our property. Expect chia seed pudding with cacao nibs, bircher and island smoothie, croissants with smashed avocado - just to name a few. Also included is free bicycle hire to explore the island. Day and night markets, shops and dining options are only a short cycle away. Onsite reception and tour desk is open 7 days with friendly local advice on all the island has to offer. Centrally located in the north-east, we are 400m from the ocean reef, 5km from the main township of Avarua and 4km in the opposite direction from Muri and the best swimming beaches in Rarotonga. Being set back from the lagoon ensures our retreat and guests have a minimal impact on our marine environment.
Strategically placed to ensure each room enjoys privacy and views of our pristine environment, Ikurangi offers guests the choice of a fully furnished Luxury Safari Tent with outdoor “jungle” ensuite or a traditional Tropical Are (Polynesian style studio) with private deck. With a firm belief in responsible tourism, Ikurangi Eco Retreat ensures that sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Think luxury in an ultra-romantic tropical setting where visitors to our beautiful island can leave feeling like they’ve been a part of something that positively impacts our environment, community and economy.
