Ikurangi is set in beautiful lush surroundings which are kept well maintained. A small retreat with no children made it very peaceful. Vicki and Allan were excellent hosts and nothing was too much trouble. Their local knowledge was very helpful.

Arrived early hours of the morning. Reception unmanned. Driver of airport minivan is your concierge. Might be pot luck if he knows where your tent is. Ours wasn't sure.
Tent 4 overlooks carpark and office. Not as private as tents 1, 2, 3 and uncomfortable with people looking directly into tent 4 from the carpark.
Roosters roam all over Rarotonga including Ikurangi - crowing all night long. Noisy road outside Tent 4 - sleep may escape you.
Equipment within the tent is poor/cheap quality. Bedding smelt damp. Ensuite benchtop varnish is peeling off.
Breakfasts are varied and delivered to the tent around 8.30am each day. Mostly tinned fruit and gloopy coconut stuff.
There were no children and related noise whilst we stayed which was the big bonus for us. Other occupants kept to themselves as we did.
Location is not near the ocean and is away from the resorts - another bonus.
No outside light for sitting on the deck in the evenings.
For this to be real "eco", we would have liked the electricity to be solar powered.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay mostly as we simply accept what is without fuss. We thought the use of the word "luxury" was a stretch but maybe not in comparison with a 2-man tent from KMart.
Expensive for what it is.
PS. room not serviced on the first day! Charged a lot more for 1 extra night (as we had a late arrival) than what we paid via Expedia despite the retreat having a "price promise"- not honoured Such is life.

The staff are professional, friendly and make you feel at home. Very helpful and cared for their guests. Nice and clean place to stay in a quiet area and you are walking distance to catch a bus.

We loved our stay at Ikurangi - in fact, it was the highlight of our trip to Rarotonga! Vicki and Alan have created a beautiful, relaxing atmosphere for their guests, and we were taken aback by their thoughtfulness. The luxury safari tent had everything we needed, and both Vicki and Alan provided great guidance on how to make the most of our time on the island. Alan’s breakfasts were also amazing, and the cherry on top of our stay! We can’t wait to come back!

Very relaxing very clean.off the beaten track but not too far to access public transportation. Hosts very knowledgeable and helpful regarding best local sites and experiences. The pool is very refreshing. A perfect place to get away to.
