### Kia Orana Villas and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"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. "

"Very nice place to stay if you are after basic but good honest accommodation (not the place if you are after aircon and a big multi channel flat screen TV) The hosts Rudy and Kanoe were very friendly & helpful. Located right on the beach (but as others have said swimming not possible) and a very well stocked store just over the road. You do need transport to have freedom to get around - but the hire scooters from Muri are cheap, safe & really fun. Highly recommended (with the above conditions). Ian C"
