Stunning location, great atmosphere and top service offers an excellent break

Reviewed By maryjZ973BD

Really loved the vibe of the place and everything on offer. Plenty of space to feel away from the crowds but a great fun atmosphere coming together in the bar and dining room. Beautiful surroundings - and even for non walkers the trails are really enjoyable. Villa had stunning views and was very comfy - but perhaps a microwave might have been helpful. Staff were lovely and quick to offer help and advice.

Wonderful place, friendly staff, convenient location

Reviewed By bris_girl80

We stayed here recently for our honeymoon and were not disappointed. From the moment we arrived and were shown around our villa, up until the moment we left, we were treated like family. On arrival, we received a complimentary breakfast pack (eggs, bread, butter, milk and juice along with an assortment of condiments) - oh, and a bottle of sparkling wine! The accommodation was very comfortable; two king size rooms, an en-suite with massive shower off one of the rooms and a shower over spa tub in another. The lounge was equipped with dvd player (and hundreds of dvds to borrow from the office) and with free WIFI internet (which can be patchy with iphones but we got around that problem). Laundry was $5 per load; $5 for washing and $5 for clothes drier (there was no need for the drier as the weather was perfect and clothes could be hung on the line provided in the cabin). The resort provided a rental car complimentary (with only the insurance to be paid daily) which was very useful to explore the island. There was a heated spa on-site which was lovely to take a dip in. There were three little dogs on site who belonged to the owner; the dogs were so friendly. I can't thank Gail and Rael enough for our wonderful stay. We saw Gail and Rael most days on their walk past our cabin and were always with a smile on their face.

We spent 4 wonderful nights here. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. The cottage exceeded our pretty high expectations - we didn’t want to leave! 10/10 for cleanliness and facilities. So cosy and the mountain views are amazing. We’ll very happily stay here again when we’re visiting Te Anau. We were delighted with this place!

The restaurants gourmet menu is diverse with themed nights every night of the week. From Monday: Pasta, Tuesday: A la carte, Wednesday: Mexican, Thursday: Pizza, Friday: Seafood, and Saturday: Curry. Sunday BBQs are special at Castaway, when live music is played all evening by local musicians Freddy and Pascale, and guitar talent Anania Browne. Specialty dishes like Mr Paul’s Crayfish and Papa D’s Crayfish platter are both very popular amongst the local community. An absolute must try if you want to know what all the local enthusiasm is about! Many returnees rave about the fantastic location, quirky character, relaxed ambience and the friendly, welcoming staff. Guests will enjoy personable service, as staff take the utmost care to remember your name! The resort is also close to many of Rarotonga’s best snorkeling spots, only 20 minutes from the town center, has a bus stop and convenience store across the road.

A Pleasant Green Stay

Reviewed By SydneyAsiaTraveller

I had no idea that this hotel was as green by surroundings and as green by practice as it was. Surrounded by green bush and grasslands, you wake up seeing Kangaroos hopping past your front door and past your car as if they were your neighbors. We saw rabbits and many wildlife outside our room. It was a green and off grid hotel by practice as they farmed their water by rain water and solar electricity. I was pleasantly surprised by all this setup and very impressed. The hotel room was modern and generally clean. Their manager Matt was awesome to deal with and always helpful. We felt very much at home staying at this hotel. The only down side on this trip was a slight flood in our bath tub. But overall the stay was great and my whole family really enjoyed it. We will definitely be back!

Our cottages are tastefully themed in old world charm... from England to Ireland to Scotland to Wales... from the glamorous world of French Boudoir to the mythical world of Camelot. We provide cosy and luxurious stays... with lovely wood fired ambiance for the evenings... and a hearty breakfast basket for the mornings.

Loved our stay. I think this place has the most info I've ever seen. Any questions you might have are all covered in the information brochure. The breakfast basket was amazing and so plentiful and the free washer and dryer just a welcome bonus. It's old creaky and quirky and we loved it.
