Lock in a great price for Sunset Resort – rated 8.8 by recent guests!

to get started.

We had a beachfront studio unit which for us is a Must. It was perfect for our needs and we would love to return. Kitchen had two gas elements, a microwave and a large fridge. Bed was good, pillows excellent. (3 each). Just a short stroll over the lawn to deck chairs on the beach or just above the beach or just sit in the covered balcony of your unit...Sunsets glorious. Bakery over the road and small store walking distance.

Left my engagement ring in the room on last day, the cleaner found it and it was in reception waiting for me when I realised. So relieved and impressed with honesty of the cleaner- thank you!!! Also Dawn who ran the restaurant was fantastic- she deserves a pay rise!!!

Julie, New Zealand

access to beach , beach chairs, hammocks under palms, snorkelling, pools and restaurant/bar on site. rental car and bikes across road

Joanne, New Zealand

Small, quiet resort with beautiful rooms and gardens. Close to town. Great food and surrounded by other nice restaurants. We would definitely return and recommend this resort to others.

Wolfie21, Australia

Great place to stay, quiet and not to many people. Food was amazing and service was great.

Lynette, New Zealand

We very much liked the total, well-planned atmosphere created with attractive shrubs and trees, discreet accommodation access, generous and clean pools, plenty of seating, excellent restaurant right on the premises, friendly and efficient service from staff, charming beach and associated seating, good supply of beach towels and snorkling equipment, reliable administration, lack of road and people noise where we were.

Hans, New Zealand

The location was fantastic. There were a few restaurants right near the resort as well as a lovely little bakery across the street. Would definitely recommend hiring scooters or car while you are there so you can explore all the island has to offer. Also would recommend the day trip to Aitatuki...absolutely beautiful!

Tammy, Canada

Continental breakfast fresh and tasty. Staff friendly, considerate and helpful. Best pool on the island. Amazing sunsets from the beach.

Lindsay, New Zealand

Thanks to the team at Sunset Resort. The beachfront is fantastic, plenty of relaxing options with the feeling of privacy all while taking in the idyllic lagoon or watching the sunset. 2 pools to choose from. Our 2 bedroom unit was very comfortable, roomy and clean. The on site restaurant serving some of the finest food, the Sunday buffet is a must...and we're not normally buffet fans. No under 12's policy adds to the peaceful environment, unfortunately some adults can behave like under 12's interrupting the serenity. We had a lovely stay and will be back:)

Heather, New Zealand

Sunset Resort is small so staff get to know you & are very friendly & helpful. Rooms are nice, clean, well air conditioned & central to everything in the resort.

“Relaxing, quiet and great sunsets”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Studio with Sea Views
- • Stayed 7 nights
눉TV limited - just 2 channels - not great reception and no Sky tv. However the All Blacks v Lions match was on tv as was the NZ news each night. Edgewater Resort a short walk away to view special sport on Sky.

“A comfortable, well-appointed and attractive resort which is well worth the cost.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Studio with Terrace
- • Stayed 9 nights
눉Restaurant toaster needed replacing, air conditioning directional vane control faulty and a cold blast onto the bed nearest the unit, light on air conditioning unit too bright. A line of rosks made entry into the lagoon tricky in front of the resort, especially at low tide.
눇We very much liked the total, well-planned atmosphere created with attractive shrubs and trees, discreet accommodation access, generous and clean pools, plenty of seating, excellent restaurant right on the premises, friendly and efficient service from staff, charming beach and associated seating, good supply of beach towels and snorkling equipment, reliable administration, lack of road and people noise where we were.

눉The only complaint would be that the lady working at the Happy Hour bar was very unfriendly and made us feel very unwelcomed.

눉The only criticism would be the blue chairs on the beachfront and some of the loungers round the pool could do with a clean.
눇Thanks to the team at Sunset Resort. The beachfront is fantastic, plenty of relaxing options with the feeling of privacy all while taking in the idyllic lagoon or watching the sunset. 2 pools to choose from. Our 2 bedroom unit was very comfortable, roomy and clean. The on site restaurant serving some of the finest food, the Sunday buffet is a must...and we're not normally buffet fans.

눉Hotel desk Staff let the place down. Unhelpful when asking for advice. Repeatedly told the restaurant where the hotel breakfast is was separate from resort, perhaps this was due to low staff standard at restaurant. Turned away for dinner on multiple nights from resort restaurant for not booking and not much around this resort. Due to bad location of resort the on site restaurant should be able to cater to resort guests. Much more choice in different island areas.
눇Lovely resort, modern and great beach!

눉When checking out and paying for the accomodation I believe the person paying for it needs to put there PIN number for their eftpos card in when paying for it. Security reasons for such a large amount of money.
눇We loved having the airconditioner for how hot the weather gets. Service was amazing and lovely staff. Beautiful place to stay:
