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). ##### Kylie P. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel R. 14 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous for a family! Lovely spacious house for our family of two couples and two singles. We stayed a week and loved it. Everything worked well. It was great having the extras of a house like books to read, games to play, blankets to snuggle with on the couch, spaces to dry swimwear, and large tables to feast on. For those who like to cook not having an oven was annoying, however the kitchen is equipped with blender, yogurt maker, and electric frypan etc. Oh and I can’t forget to mention the amazing passionfruit!! Plus the the teens cooking night turned into a hilarious full scale drama as a rogue mouse had made a nest in the outside BBQ. Linda was so helpful with house info, tips on what to do and where to go. We would love to come back to stay next time we visit !! ##### Rachel R.

It’s not only spacious, family friendly (and definitely ideal for large families and groups - just like mine), it has all the amenities needed to be self-sufficient (regardless of not having an oven). It’s in a great location accessible to all the bells and whistles of Rarotonga (and only a few minutes walk away from a beautiful snorkelling beach, Muri market just around the corner, and more) - it’s a home away from home! And, although the fruits weren’t quite ready for picking (because of the time we decided to travel) we can only imagine that this would have been the icing on the cake. Linda makes you feel so welcomed (before you even arrive on the island). The books that this family provide for guests to read - are superb - where you feel even more connected because you understand the journey this family has undergone to build this home. A definite “yes please, let’s stay here again” from our family. ##### TAMMY D. Stayed 14 nights in Nov 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Samantha S. 23 May 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Beautiful house , shame it’s full of black mold, you have to refil gas bottles and water tank The house its self is lovely. However the smell of mold is terrible. When we actually went searching for the smell there is black mold on every single mattress in the house. And on the couch too. There was algae in the main water bottle that is for drinking water. If you run out of water you have to pay for a truck to have it refilled, if you run out of gas your expected to pay for it too. We payed over $4k to stay here and sleep on moldy mattresses. This property should be pulled off stayz. Owners did not care just thanked me for my honesty Save your money and stay in a 5star resort ##### Samantha S.

Turou had everything we needed, a home away from home. Will definitely recommend to others. ##### J C.

The amenities were very good with great kitchen facilities and a lovely lounge and Deck . Property has insect screens and air con and fans. There is a safe and key box which makes everything very easy. ##### Jane Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2022 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 7 Oct 2020 #### 10/10, the place was great. 10/10, the place was great.
