Top Hotels Near Cook Islands National Museum in Avarua from AU$129

"Cant say enough about the Kia Orana Villas. Met by the General Manager, Sane, as we stepped out of the car, and who also farewelled us as we departed. Lucky to stay for 19 nights so we became family. Fantastic staff all round who shared their lives and families with us. Felt like home, not a hotel. Awesome pool area, which was never crowded. Great breakfast spread each day to peruse prepared by Lai, while being visited by the cat, Smoocher, for cuddles each morning. Any minor issues or requests were quickly attended too. Loved our spacious one bedroom villa. Was great to have a washing machine and dryer, expresso coffee machine and of course the Weber BBQ. Super comfy bed. We were sad to leave it behind. Was a fantastic way to relax and avoid the hussle and bustle of a large resort. Close to the airport and town, with easy access to the beach at Blackrock, and the cross Island walk access is just down the road. Can't say enough really. We will definitely be back. "

"Kiikii is an o.k. motel. The location is not well suited to those without transport. It is not on the beach, also some distance from shops. With lockdown Rarotonga was cutting back on bus services. The staff were pleasant - thanks guys. (just remember not to turn off refrigerators). The pool was cool but nice and clean - rarely used apart from me. The unit I had was 'tired'. It had been recently painted but the paintjob was superficial - door knobs and switchplates had not been removed so the paint dribbled on and over them. The outdoor furniture was flimsy and the hot plate was very rusty. Dog turds around the premises were something to have to be avoided. Thanks"

"The photos on the web REALLY enhance the property to a point where it's not quite real. A fantastic picture shoot. There is no lovely white furniture on the outside deck. The TV screen was in mini form as the remote did not work and so could not be adjusted. The beds were so uncomfortable, like lying on a plank of wood, that I got sore spots on my hip bones. This was relieved by placing the sponges, from the outdoor furniture in the sitting room, on the bed for a bit of softness. The mattress still had the plastic wrapping on it. On arrival I received a text asking if I knew how to get to the property. When answered no the reply was come out from the airport and turn right. Really helpful!!! It took another 5 texts to actually get the whereabouts. Once I text Terry about the stained cushions, reply texts albeit stopped. The hot water califont is only big enough to be able to run hot water for about 15 seconds before it goes cold again. Terry's advice was to turn it off then on again.... great!!! The resident mouse kept dragging rubbish out from behind the kitchen cupboard. One good thing about the property is the location... fullstop."
