Muri Retreat : Apartment/Flat

“We stayed at Muri Retreat during the last week of February. I would have to say that the wonderful hosting from Steve and Phoebe really made our trip for us with their friendly welcome and extensive local knowledge. Phoebe has compiled a welcome pack with lots of handy tips which is well worth reading before you arrive and to use as a guide during your stay. Steve and Phoebe were very accommodating to us even before we arrived. We had a special request for our room on arrival which was happily catered for and greatly appreciated. There was a welcome gift from Phoebe of sliced mango in the fridge as well almost daily visits of gifts of fresh coconut and more tropical fruit. Although Muri Retreat is very handy to Muri Beach and all the amenities, Steve was more than happy on the first morning of stay to give Pete a lift to the local car rental place which helped saved some time and enabled us to get to the markets earlier. The transfers to the accommodation were well organised and friendly which was a necessity at that time of night when unfamiliar with the island and location of the apartment. The pool was kept clean and sparkling and the lovely temperature meant that it was wonderful for an evening dip before bed. The Hula Hut is a novel idea, giving an area to BBQ, entertain and watch movies. Phoebe keeps a small but very current DVD collection which guests are welcome to view. There is also a collection of books, magazines and information on the island to borrow during the stay as well. The gardens are very well maintained and I am currently considering Muri Retreat as wedding destination, it would be ideal for an intimate gathering as the whole place is available to book if you get in early. I would happily go back and stay at Muri Retreat and I keep a photo of the view from my room beside my desk to remind me of the relaxing and romantic time I shared there. I would highly recommend this as a private and romantic retreat for couples!

“great place for some ‘me time’. relaxed and friendly atmosphere. great facilties in each of the uniquely decorated rooms. pool and bbq area. private location but close to beach and muri shops.”

“We recently stayed at Muri retreat for 10 days and had a very relaxing time. Spent a great part of the day in the swimming pool, which was great. Our room had the best views of the lagoon, and was a great place to sit and have breakfast. As Motel Managers we are very fussy about ahere we stay, and we were most impressed with the standard of our room. Phoebe and Steve were wonderful hosts and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. We will return.”
