The accommodation was basic, but it was more than enough for our needs.

The location was excellent, with plenty of kayaks and snorkelling equipment for guests, as well as a rental scooter available. It was also quiet and close to a good restaurant and a bar. We stayed at the pool room.

There were some ants in the kitchen but it is the tropics!

Loved the "outdoor shower", the view from our door, the free use of kayaks and paddleboards. Dylan and all the staff were welcoming and helpful. The transfers to and from the Airport made life so easy for us too.

Once you arrive it isn't so helpful sadly. It will perhaps be better once the current owner retires.The office is rarely open and if you even ask for an extra glass to clean your teeth the answer is no! It seemed so petty. Room servicing while there (that they say is included) is non existent. I asked for a towel as they hadn't serviced the room and the owner was very rude to me! (Unacceptable really but I let it go,. I think the person who is supposed to do rooms is the daughter and she is clearly lazy!) Apparently the owner wants to retire. It's time! Dylan is absolutely wonderful and things should improve once he takes over, provided he is left to it and the rude grumpy current owner (his father) doesn't interfere! It's a beautiful spot and with good energy from those running it could be much improved. A whale watching operation is run from the same office, relations I believe, but trying to find them to speak to was actually impossible! That seemed odd also. Some nice restaurants nearby.

The location is wonderful and Dylan was excellent helping pre arrival.

The location was perfect, walking distance to awesome restaurant, bar & café. Kayaks, pool and bike hire at property was a bonus. Would definitely book again.

There was some music from the resort on the private island across from us, but it was generally very good.

Absolutely superb location, had use of kayaks whilst there. Great barbecue on our verandah and very comfy room.

it's not even a dislike but more of - a thing... you will need a car of uiu want to go into the main town and see the whole island.... we didn't mind we hired a car and got to see the island.

The location of this Ranginui retreat is amazing!! if you are looking for a.place that's provides all the views, feels and relaxation - this is your spot!! Dylan and the team were so accommodating to our daily requests - sometimes very last minute, but catered to our needs. loved that the pool was jus outside our door and then the lagoon was steps away- our room was perfect for what we needed.

The location of Ranginuis is just stunning, the view never got old and access to the lagoon couldn't have been easier. This place was a paradise, and the atmosphere and simplicity of the place was just easy and relaxing.

Owner very helpful - I got unlucky with the weather so hired a scooter off the owner for the day and drove around. It’s a bit secluded on the other side of the airport but if the weather had been nicer that wouldn’t have been an issue. There were a couple of restaurants/bars you could walk to which was good.

The location was beautiful. Enjoyed the beach and sun.

Loved it! Enjoyed my time spent here and was able to hire a bike during my stay as well. The room was clean and had everything I needed! Close to the Ootu beach which is a bonus!

Loud guests partying on the beach until after midnight was super annoying since they were 20 feet from my bedroom. When asked to tone it down, they just got louder. Since no staff is on-site at night, there really wasn’t any way to address their behavior.

Beautiful location, super friendly and helpful staff, cabin had all the amenities I needed for a great stay.
