The room was lovely, the beds were so soft and comfortable. There is a full kitchen and washing machine and dryer/drying rack which were very helpful. The pool area is nice an relaxing.

The site is about 15-20 min from the bus if you don't have a car, the walk is comfortable if you like walking (bring a small torch if walking at night on the road) If you have a car, there is plenty of parking and its a great location to explore the island and local town.

Our Kia Orana villa was superb. Right from when we booked, the communication with Sane was superb, and that quality was reflected in the villa itself which was very well appointed and met every superlative said about it. If we go back to Raro, we will be looking to stay there again

For five nights I enjoyed my well appointed suite, which had facilities for laundry, cooking, outdoor bbq, and patio. The outdoor patio had covered areas which were great during the occasional rains. There was an inside shower and an outdoor soaking tub. Many sliding doors with screens allowed cross ventilation, and it all could be closed at night for cooling with the mini split. The outdoor pool area also had two smaller hot tubs. Though there was a breakfast area in the common area, breakfast was by prearrangement, and I did not take advantage of that. Spa services were available, and a bicycle was also available for hire. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Though the villas are not on the main island tourist bus route, it is about a 1km walk to one of the main intersections. The Saturday market is about a 24 minute walk. To trader jacks, 27 minutes. I would definitely stay here again.

Please pass on our thanks to Joe, Nancy, David, Henry, and Purna, and of course many thanks to yourself Sane. We will certainly be recommending you to others and look forward to staying again ourselves in the future.

I wanted to share about my recent stay at Kia Orana Villas. The experience was exceptional, all thanks to Sane Cowan, the Manager. Sane was incredibly professional, accommodating, and always available 24/7 to assist with any requests or questions.

For anyone planning a holiday in Rarotonga, I highly recommend Kia Orana Villas. The location is very convenient, being close to town. The villas are well-equipped with everything you might need, including cooking facilities, a BBQ, and a washer/dryer. This not only ensures a comfortable stay but also helps manage expenses during your trip.

A big thank you to Sane and the team for making my stay so enjoyable.

Meitaki Maata!

Beautiful property surrounded by lush tropical gardens. Large spacious villas with everything we needed, the most comfortable resort/motel bed I have ever slept in, super quiet away from the hustle & bustle of the busy main areas, but close enough to the main township of Avarua, within easy walking distance to bus stop & amenities. Friendly staff, nothing was an issue. We loved our stay here & will definitely return when visiting Rarotonga again!

Here for a week with my 2 daughters and grandson, we had a 2 bedroom villa which was spacious and well presented both inside and out, well equiped kitchen ( if you wanted to cook) Amazinglycomfortable beds and the pool was directly outside our villa. Sane was very helpful and organised our car hire for us. Our first visit to Rarotonga and hopefully not the last, a truly unspoilt beautiful place. Patricia (UK)

If you don't mind the walking out to the main road in the heat, then this is the place for you. It's like a villa/apt of your own. We got a honeymoon villa that is more than 400 square feet and that includes, a bathroom, a simple kitchen area, dining, sitting, and bed.

I loved that my room had everything i needed for example washing machine/dryer, basically a full kitchen & everything that you need, table/chairs, outdoor area it's like a mini home. I was a little scared to take a shower at night but i got use to it. Sane (manager) was very lovely making sure i was alright etc the other staff gave me a mango on my way out (thankful because i love them). I will be recommending this spot to anyone who's looking for accomm in Raro.

nice place to stay, needs some maintenance eg fly screens, outdoor furniture falling apart etc but overall, a great room well equipped. Staff were nice when you saw them occasionally.
Biggest issue was the packs ( i mean packs of dogs up to 6/8) roaming through barking for hours nonstop, this is not our first visit to the island but by far the noisiest with fighting dogs outside the room and coming onto balcony setting off sensor lights etc and the constant barking. out of 11 nights stay only got sleep 3 nights the rest nonstop. noise.

Sane and her team made staying here so easy. My daughter loved the local cat smoocher who always came for a visit a breakfast time. The bed was the perfect with a soft topper on. The general up keep of the property beautiful. It's easy to see the staff take pride in caring for the promises. A great stay close to the shops etc. Breakfast was great and also provided my much loved Cook Islands donuts. Thanks you for making our stay so easy kia manuia Lisa and Stevie ❤️🙌

Couldn't ask for better staff always had smile on there face, went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Cleanliness was spot on. Just to mention Arriving at night was a bit daunting as it was very dark trying to find our villa and there was a few wild dogs barking as we got out the taxi. Definitely would recommend this place and we will be returning for sure
