I was so sad I only had one night here because the space was fantastic. It was so clean with lots of amenities. I got in late and had to leave early but still found the glow worm walk to do which was incredible, and the breakfast was also really good.

A piece of paradise within the paradise of Kaiteri

We had a 1 bedroom unit for two nights then needed to move to a studio up the hill for our remaining 3 nights. The staff at Kimi Ora made this move stressless and moved most of our luggage and items in the fridge for us. Great view from both units and very quiet. Good breakfast included each morning and were able to cook a little in the rooms. We only used the lovely pool area once during our stay as we were either at the beach for the day or out exploring the area. We have rebooked for next summer.

The restaurant was closed on Monday and Tuesday so we had to make the 20 mins trek to Kaiteriteri just to get food. Not convenient, they could have said that somewhere on the website.
