Been wanting to go glamping and so glad my first experience was here!
Spent 3 fabulous nights at Ikurangi Eco Resort. I was greeted with open arms by lovely owners Vicki and Alan. Beautiful property a little off the beaten path with gorgeous mountain views. Great way to be forced to relax!
I stayed in a luxury tent and it was beautiful. Large, comfortable open space to kick back. I honestly thought I'd miss my TV but nope, not at all ( only 1 channel on Raro anyway). Totally enjoyed nature at its best.
Alan made breakfast each morning and brought it to my tent. A filling healthy, delicious breakfast to get me going each day. That monkey bowl...omg! Tea and coffee are provided in your tent.
The pool looked refreshing but I did not indulge.
I did rent a car and there is free parking.
Vicki and Alan are terrific hosts. Present if you need them and nice to chat with.
Highly recommend Ikurangi for your next visit to Raro!

What an amazing, relaxing place to stay. Our safari tent was massive and the outdoor bathroom was more than a novelty - it was beautiful and matched the tropical feel of the tent perfectly. You couldn't ask for more while relaxing on the balcony. Our hosts, Vicki and Alan, were very hospitable and accommodating, and Possum the cat was super friendly, welcoming us with lots of purrs when we first arrived!

The breakfast prepared daily by Alan and delivered to our balcony was outstanding! Made vegan to our request and it was the best breakfast we had during our stay on Rarotonga.

Out of the way, off the beaten track and it felt like an oasis. For a 'getting-away-from-it-all' holiday, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better place than here.

If you want the big resort with cocktails, don’t book here.

If you want something a little bit different, set away from the bustle, with a touch of luxe, give it a look!

Vicki and Alan are great hosts and go above and beyond for the guests. Reception availability was socialised well, and there were phones to contact them outside these times if needed.

Our first night in the tent was the coldest in memory! There were calls for a Civil Defence Emergency because it was under 20 degrees 😂. We had a very comfortable stay, plenty warm enough in the tents.

The access to the bikes and easy walk to the ring road more than make up for the relative distance from the touristy spots.
