    The villa was lovely, it had everything you could possibly need. Ours was right by the pool which we lived in! Mostly by ourselves. It was peaceful, clean, and the hosts were available if needed. Beautiful place to stay.

    Your Pillows were to soft for me, I needed to use the four on the big bed, to make 1 of mine I use from home. Too many Curtains to open up, privacy, plastic, patterned stuck on windows would be better. Lounge Curtain ( Sliding Door) too heavy look'n. The kitchen Curtain in 2 needs removing, made everything dark, lights needed to be on to give a lighter look. Maybe a long cupboard, Pantry. There is Room in Kitchen.

    Did not order Breakfast throughout stay. I should have had breakfast so I could compare your style, choice, prices with other resorts. 3 large deck areas, large outdoor bathtub, plenty of space both in/ out. Easy with Babies, toddlers block deck area, fill Bathtub, babies can swim there. While Dad/ Mum can relax still on the Deck. Washer/ Drier, Full Kitchen ( Wow) Toiletries in Shower another plus. Very clean, room serviced + Wonderful to find this, when back in from the blazing Sun. Having 2 Ensuites, brilliant!

    No negatives very happy.

    Kia Orana Villas is set in a tropical location about ten minutes walk from town. Our party of three stayed in a two bedroom Villa No 4 for nine days at the end of October. The Villa was huge with a large outside deck overlooking the pool. It was very modern and well fitted out with everything you could need and was very clean. The bedrooms both had ensuites and also outside baths in the private back courtyards and the beds were unbelievably comfortable . There was plenty of outside seating on the deck and also a bbq. Although we did not use the pool it was kept very clean and looked very inviting. We did use the Spa baths which were lovely and warm and great to soak in at the end of the day. We had breakfast everyday which was more than substantial and got to chat with our with our wonderful hosts Sane and Joseph, we also met the owner of the site Ross who was over from NZ. The other facilities available were the pushbikes which were on site and the Spa where I had a very pleasant massage. The hosts will also book tours and provide information on other activities available on the Island. We loved our stay here and thank Sane and Joseph for helping to make it so enjoyable.
