The Edgewater Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"All you expect from a property like this. Clean, pleasant helpful staff. Nothing to complain about."

Lagoon Breeze Villas

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed as a couple and I could see that it would suit a family very well also. Plenty of room in our villa, generous supplies such as milk, tea, coffee, soaps, shampoo, toilet paper etc. Lovely breakfast of fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal & toast in the open air cafe which is situated right next to play area for kids, handy for families. Staff so friendly and helpful. There is a small bakery and takeaway/cafe within walking distance but closest bar or restaurant would be 2km away. I would advise first timers to Cooke Islands to pre book your own transport. (you really need it!) The villas are well equipped for self catering if you choose to do that. Safe snorkelling just across the road with shallow waters and plenty of colorful fish. Lagoon Breeze also had reef shoes, snorkels, masks and fins to borrow which was great. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lagoon Breeze Villas!"

Ikurangi Eco Retreat

8/10 Good

"We recently spent a week staying in the cabins and, overall, had a pleasant experience. The surroundings were beautiful, with lovely natural scenery that created a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. The staff were friendly, helpful, and provided good service throughout our stay. The area was generally quiet and calm, making it a great place to unwind. However, there was quite a bit of noise during the night from chickens and dogs, which unfortunately disturbed our sleep on several occasions. The breakfast was somewhat disappointing and did not meet our expectations. The portions were very small, and the overall selection was more limited than we had anticipated. In summary, this is a charming place with beautiful surroundings and good service. However, improvements to the breakfast would make the experience even better."
