This was a very private place, so beautiful and you could cook your own food down in the communal area. Very comfortable beds too.

All I f it was great!

"A place away from home, that felt like home."

10.0

Thank you for such a wonderful stay. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was exceptional. Jules is an incredible host, and we genuinely enjoyed getting to know her during our stay. The retreat goes above and beyond to make sure guests are comfortable, offering local recommendations, helping with anything you need, and creating such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The property is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The location is also fantastic – it's only a 10–15 minute walk to the beach, local stores, and several lovely restaurants. You can also catch the bus at the bottom of the road, making it easy to explore the island without a car. Ariki Retreat is more than just accommodation; it's a place where you instantly feel at home. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already looking forward to returning. Highly recommended!

"Great stay at the Ariki Retreat"

9.0

Jill and Jules were really friendly and informative. The property was small, intimate and like home from home. It was nice and quiet and not far from the beautiful village of Muri. A perk from my hubby was the cold beer on tap at only $5.00! We would definitely recommend this place to those who want a nuce quiet place to stay and don't want to spend a small fortune like the Beachfront resorts. We would definitely return to the Ariki. We had a wonderful time.

"A lovely retreat tucked into the hillside"

10.0

We felt welcomed from the moment we drove up. Jill invited us in, showed us to our room and filled us in on many activities available in the area. The view from the hillside is lovely. There was always a gentle breeze. The studio apartment was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is small but was more than we needed. Though not on the beach, it was only a 15 minute walk to the Muri Night Market. - closer to other bakeries, coffee shops and restaurants. It is up a small hill - but really only a few minutes up. We would return in a half a heartbeat!!

Can't think of a thing

"Fantastic!"

10.0

The best place we've ever stayed! Ideal transfer from the airport arranged by the host, Jill, straight to our door and we had our keys available on arrival. Jill was fabulous throughout with so many amazing recommendations, local insight and words of wisdom. The room was newly refurbished and was perfect. Snorkels available to use, laundry facilities, aircon and fan and loads of insect coils to prevent the mosquitoes. Brilliant communal area with cooking facilities and beer on tap! We would highly recommend this place to anyone!
