had all the things we needed for our stay The best staff

https://www.kiaoranavillas.com/ We’ve just finished a week long stay here to say it was superb is an understatement. The staff go out of their way to help you with absolutely everything. They booked all our tours and made my birthday so very special. The accommodation is outstanding full kitchen with oven dishwasher microwave washing machine dryer huge deck and gorgeous outdoor shower

absolutely nothing

kindness from all the staff

The facilities was just what we needed. It was clean, tidy and has everything a family needed. Excellent. We will definitely come back, the staff was amazing.

We loved the comfy bed, coffee machine and the aesthetic of the whole place. Sunny and her team are super lovely and professional as well as helpful. We enjoyed our conversations with them and other guests at breakfast. It was nice to be away from the main hustle and bustle and nestled on the back street amongst the green! We had a hire car so getting around was easy.

We came during the holiday period so at times we didn’t get the included breakfast as it was a public holiday/Sunday. No matter, it was something we overlooked when booking and we had plenty of fruit around to fill us up.

its proximity and it was very clean

our room didn’t lock at all on the main door and our safe wasn’t working

Lovely and Friendly team that work here. Accommodation is top notch. Will definitely come again.

The staff were very friendly, thank you so much to Sani and Jo, such a lovely couple

We loved everything, I would recommend this place to anyone

Lovely complex, Sane and Joseph great hosts and staff were lovely. Really enjoyed the pool and spa. Breakfast really nice. Can't wait for out trip back to the beautiful island.

Sine and Joseph were welcoming and so helpful in every way. outstandingly welcoming. wonderful fans and aircon kept me cool.

The apartment was lovely and swimming pool and spas good. People very helpful

Just a little too far from beach etc but not a problem if you have a car

Amazing Location, the facilities were better in person than in photos, everything was clean, and this facility had everything we needed as a family of 4. The swimming pool was great for those hot days and yes we even tried the Spa (hot tubs). Breakfast in the morning was great - exactly what we needed before heading out on a big day. The staff made us feel welcome every time they saw us. Highly recommend WIFI at Kia Orana Villas as staying on Mobile on Raro is very average. if the staff offer you thermal bottles for drinking water (free offering - we didn't have to pay) - take it! keeps your water refreshing and cold throughout the day! that really helped us when out and about.

It rained a bit in Raro - but because the facilities are so good - we had no complaints from my daughters (aged 16 and 20).

Quiet, clean, modern breakfast very good and fresh each day. Staff helpful and friendly

Nothing could be found to be at fault

Breakfast was amazing as were the staff would definitely recommend

Key Lockbox very difficult to use especially when it is dark

The complex was well maintained (thanks to Joe & his team) and our Villa (Villa 10) was immaculate. Sane is a fantastic & welcoming host, and Lai is superb in the Café, baking exceedingly naughty, but lovely pancakes & doughnuts. The Housekeeping team were fantastic, sorry chaps, shame on me, but I can’t remember your names. The Owners are very lucky to have this team on board. These guys are what makes the place tick as smoothly as it does. We had made a bit of a whoopsie with our dates (forgetting that Rarotonga is a day behind us), however on emailing Sane, it was sorted out easily. Our villa was spacious and airy, thankfully it had both aircon & two ceiling fans so it was very pleasant in the room. The villa had a fully equipped kitchen and we had no problem in catering for ourselves when we wanted to or on a Sunday when almost everything is closed. Apart from at breakfast we were hardly aware of the other residents. Everyone was well behaved with no raucous parties late at night. We are not great beach people, so Kia Ōrāna Villas was ideal for us, but it does have a great pool and spa baths. It is nearer the main town than the resorts around Muri Beach, the villa is an easy 15-20 minute walk to town and there is plenty of parking for cars / mopeds. Despite what Booking.com says, they don’t have airport transfer, but there are plenty of taxis available at the airport ($15 per person to anywhere on the island). We went into lockdown and the Cook Islands closed the travel bubble the night that we arrived back home, however, we would have been more than happy to stay at the Villas until the bubble reopened. We rarely use an accommodation more than once, but Kia Ōrāna Villas will be top of our list for our next visit. Thanks Chaps for a wonderful holiday.

There wasn't anything that we didn't like about any aspect of our stay.

The owners are very lucky to have such excellent staff. It makes the business what it is and sets it apart from other places. Sane, Lai, Joe and the rest of team are so welcoming, nothing is a problem. Exceptional service Lai does our breakfasts and every morning gives us new delicious morsels to eat. I can't wait to see what he has created. That is why Kia Orana Villas is a standout.

Excellent location, staff lovely and helpful. Comfortable beds. Really close to the supermarket, clean and tidy. 2 minute drive to a gym. Loved it. Great value for money. Staff really accommodating ❤️

Nothing

Clean Tidy rooms with all the facilities of home

Nothing

For what I paid it is well worth the money. I actually couldn't believe this was our villa. The villa itself is beautiful and very modern, the utilities provided are expensive they even have a coffee expresso machine. I was sent 3 emails with thorough information about the villas itself. The key is locked away but easy access and will tell you how to retrieve it. We stayed in a two bedroom villa, each room had air con and also air con in the main living area. Because we were there for our wedding we were welcomed with petals and swan towels on our bed and again when we came back from staying at a resort on our wedding night. The other resort which held my wedding did nothing. Pool was never occupied when we were there so good for us and there are 3 Jacuzzis. Our villa (2) had an outdoor bath even. We had a washing machine and dryer with washing powder provided in our master room. There is also a cafe there that was in the process of making their own bakery, in time it will be up and running. Next time Im visiting I am definitely coming back here.

in the bathroom it kinda smelt like sewer but its the usual smell you get when in the islands so didnt think it was a problem, also as each villa gets a car park twice we found scooters parked in our car park. My husband had to tell the couple to move their scooters as we ended up parking down the street.
