Top Moturakau Hotel Reviews

Club Raro Resort – Adults Only

8/10 Good

"Very good bar and pool area. Good for relaxing with food and drink whilst overlooking the ocean. Room was clean and simple. Breakfast was again simple but enough."

Kia Orana Villas and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"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."

The Islander Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Positives and negatives: + Rooms actually are nicer than they look in the pictures. We were pleasantly surprised + Restaurant is really good quality, both staff and food were great + Aircon worked very well and room didn't seem to humid + Love these guys because they are kind to animals. - No late checkout. It's advertised at a $50 cost, but when we told "Donni" that we wanted to check out at 1pm she said that we had to leave at 10am because someone else was going to stay in the room. The place was not fully booked, and so if check in is at 3pm is 2 hours not enough to clear a room? - Tuesdays is Renovation day. If you are staying on a Tuesday, bring your earplugs. They were working on the rooms or the roof and it was all day with power tools. We knew about the partying until 10 and 11pm, but we were not counting on losing the nap."

MM Studio 2 - Across the road from a stunning beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay for a couple, would definitely stay here again. Beautiful location, the beach really was right across the street. There was an issue with the hot water but Eddie was quick to rectify it. The Wigmore shops are less than a 5 minute drive away which was very convenient. Muri Beach was about 10mins away so it was just a great location all around."

Sea Change Villas

8/10 Good

"I spent three nights at Sea Change in a self‑contained villa in the Cook Islands and really enjoyed it. The beachfront location was fantastic, and the villa had all the amenities I needed. There were a couple of small maintenance items that could be improved, but nothing major. Overall, a great place to stay and one I’d recommend."
