Reviews
PAULA ADAMSON - Jan 2012
Stayed 2 nights in studio, not as new and flash as other parts of complex but everything we needed, good for the price. Lovely gardens and surroundings, close enough drive to town to be handy but lovely quiet country setting.
ANDRE GRUNDLING - Jan 2012
As happy as can be with the hardworking 'gardener/caretaker/owner/receptionist' welcoming us and showing us to a very decent unit to lay down our heads and just relax - even though it was for one night only. Great place.
JOHN & AVERIL HERBERT - Nov 2011
ExcellentRatanui is in a beautiful setting. It is described as "serene acommodation" and that is exactly what it was. We were upgraded - a unit was clean and new. Exceeded expectations

Beautiful motel to stay. The rooms are very clean and new. The garden is just a dream with all the flowers and magnificent trees. We also got upgraded for free, thanks a lot. A very nice place to relax, close to the mountain and beaches.
