"Location location location. A perfect place to stay for one night between a flight in and a flight out. Cross the road to get to the airport. Hotel is fine but a little run down -- my room had a collapsed soap dish. There is revelry till about 11 pm outside the rooms. Breakfast from 8 am -- I walked to the supermarket and got what I needed."

"Really lovely site. Amazing view of the coast and the sunset. Great drinks and nice service. Rooms are quite basic and some of them with very poor sound proofing. The time we were staying there was quite a lot of disturbance outside. Breakfast is ok but could be improved."

"Staff were very friendly. The property was always clean and tidy. Fantastic to have a room freshen every few days. Bar service earlier than 4 pm for the guests would be great, especially when they are lounging around the pool Parking was an issue due to the building works. Workers or visitors to the bar took the few spots available, leaving guests to park down the road."

10/10 Excellent
"An unforgettable week in paradise! Kia Orana Resort and Spa exceeded every expectation from the moment we arrived. The staff greeted us with genuine warmth and traditional hospitality, making us feel like family instantly. Our garden villa was pristine, and spacious with a lovely outdoor shower and soaking tub. The housekeeping team kept the room orderly with daily tidy-up service. The spa is a sanctuary of absolute tranquility; the deep tissue / hot stone massage I received was arguably one of the early highlights of the trip. The pool was in the midst of a renovation and being that it was winter we did not partake. Daily morning continental breakfast and coffee was a nice treat. Thank you to our lovely host Sane and the entire team at Kia Orana for an incredible, stress-free week of pure relaxation. We will be back!"

"This property is beautiful. I paid $1500 for 4days which I find really expensive, compared to book a batches in gold Coast or NZ (However accommodation in Raro is expensive). The host was super nice especially after we found it really hard to find after a late flight in the dark. She was super accommodating and patient with us. Would definitely stay here again as it was so close to everything yet quiet. It was also very clean, beds and pillows were nice. Couch though is broken foam inside on the seat with the layout part and smelly from someone sweating and lying on it."
