Highly recommended place! Sane and staff are very accommodating and very friendly. Bananas and lemongrass were given free and shared some vinegar for my dressing! 😊 Place is quiet and very relaxing which is also what we need for this vacation. Lots of DVDs free to borrow. Location is handy to shops and restaurants. Parking is ample.

The point of difference were Sane and Joe making our stay so welcoming and personal, they were always happy to help with what we needed and I loved that they took the time to talk to us about our trip and even provide great recommendations. The breakfast was always delicious and having fresh fruit from their garden just made it extra special. The room was very spacious, clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the pool being so close to our room and majority of the time it was very quiet and relaxing. We recieved a special fruit platter on our arrival for our anniversary and it just made our day. I would definitely come back and stay again.

Cant say enough about the Kia Orana Villas. Met by the General Manager, Sane, as we stepped out of the car, and who also farewelled us as we departed. Lucky to stay for 19 nights so we became family. Fantastic staff all round who shared their lives and families with us. Felt like home, not a hotel. Awesome pool area, which was never crowded. Great breakfast spread each day to peruse prepared by Lai, while being visited by the cat, Smoocher, for cuddles each morning. Any minor issues or requests were quickly attended too. Loved our spacious one bedroom villa. Was great to have a washing machine and dryer, expresso coffee machine and of course the Weber BBQ. Super comfy bed. We were sad to leave it behind. Was a fantastic way to relax and avoid the hussle and bustle of a large resort. Close to the airport and town, with easy access to the beach at Blackrock, and the cross Island walk access is just down the road. Can't say enough really. We will definitely be back.

Five star feelings and facilities.
The property is very new. The manager Sane is a very good person. She introduced the locations which worth to go for leisure or food. She helped us to book the local activities in Rarotonga. When we requested a reschedule she helped us to arrange everything. The room is very new with full range of house appliances including air condition, private wash machine with laundry powder and dryer which are very useful in the tropic area, kitchen facilities, induction cooker with cook compatibles private fridge with a bag of ice ect. It have everything we need. There is also a balcony which is good to have a rest with some food and drink. There is a public swimming pool and 3 spas which are free to use for guests. The location of the villa is very good. Only 3 mins to the biggest supermarket and 5 mins to the Saturday market and the Airport. The breakfast is very good with a good variety of selections. There is also something new everyday. The price is not expensive compared with the other accommodations which offers similar facilities and services in Cook Islands. It is definitely worth the money you spend. I strongly recommend everyone to stay at Kia Orana Villas for your trip in Cook Islands. The more you stay the more you will like it.
Free swimming pool and spa
Outdoor shower is very interesting
Views from the balcony
Room size is good and air condition is important for staying in tropical area.

Actually quite central although not on bus route 15 minute walk to market and 30 minute walk to airport. Was a bit disappointed that spa not actually setup on site and difficult to get appts(maybe coz over holiday period). The villa was amazing with outdoor shower and bath full amenities which was great. Fruit growing on site was accessible to get and eat which was great. Difficultnto talk to manager as generally not on site again could have been coz holiday period.

Kia orana Thanks for your review and for staying with us. The spa room is set up onsite next to our General Manager's office. I am sorry that you had difficulty with making a booking. As your review us anonymous I do not know when you stayed. As detailed on our web site massages need to be pre-booked. We then book our masseuse. The problem could have been the holiday period. Our General Manager is normally onsite Monday to Friday from 9 am to 4 p.m. and part-time over the weekend There are however other staff on-site who are available to assist. Apologies for those problems. Kia manuia

Extremely well appointed with high quality appliances, crockery, utensils etc-even a coffee making machine. Comprehensive supply of what would ordinarily be considered extras eg fly spray and even toothpicks and a torch! Major downside was noise from villa above.
