Stayed fro 3 days and enjoyed the idillic country environment. Well appointed villa's in a tranquil setting. While out of the city, no issue with getting to town or other attractions. Taking the 3 day Tuesday package made it a good price for quality accomodation. Could do with the basic Sky package however fro evenings as Freeview just does not... More

Our recent 2-night stay was quiet and restful, with the villas situated past suburbia and just into the countryside, yet only a 6 minute drive into town. The villas are new, very clean and a little bit basic but definitely good value for money. The shower was great, lots of hot water and plenty of power, and the toiletries were... More

My Partner and I stayed in one of the one bedroom studios. On arrival we were greeted by the owner who gave us some freshly layed eggs and milk. The room was perfect for us as we were on a budget, it wasn't flash but it was nice and clean. I loved the additional touches to the room, flat screen... More

We booked this sight unseen and turned up to find it 10 mins out of town in a perfect tranquil location. Superb newly refurbished exec suites. One problem - with the shower as someone else mentioned, it went inexplicably cold after 30 secs - but I'm assured it's only in ex suite number 6 and they're fixing it. Great hosts... More

Firstly there were problems with taking a shower. We would get hot water and within 30 secs it would go cold. In addition the window in the bathroom allowed a... More

My partner and I stayed there last year for about 5 nights. It is a perfect spot for somebody who is looking for piece and tranquility. Nice and clean, the hostess was friendly. The only (small!) disadvantage was the absence of shelving in the shower, and actually the shower itself - it was a bit hard to set the right... More

We stayed recently in a 1 bedroom apartment for 3 nights at Ratanui Villas. The accommodation was perfect in every way - clean, modern, quiet with beautiful grounds. We checked in 2 hours early and it was not a problem at all. We would recommend this place to all.

We have just returned from 5 nights in the 3 bedroom cottage with teenagers and grandparents, and 12 for Xmas lunch- the accommodation met all expectations. Comfy beds, quiet and tranquil yet close to city when needed. Good beds and shower, kitchen which coped admirably. We recommend Ratanui, and Dianne and Stefan as hosts to anyone desiring a getaway with... More
