The Islander Hotel

The Islander Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This was a clean, comfortable, and spacious stop over. As a solo female traveler it was perfect to be able to walk to the hotel after arriving on a late flight. The room had everything I needed and the very delicious breakfast set me up well for returning to the airport for an onward flight. I won't hesitate to stay again. Everyone was friendly and helpful."

"Staff were very friendly. The property was always clean and tidy. Fantastic to have a room freshen every few days. Bar service earlier than 4 pm for the guests would be great, especially when they are lounging around the pool Parking was an issue due to the building works. Workers or visitors to the bar took the few spots available, leaving guests to park down the road."

10/10 Excellent
"This property is beautiful. I paid $1500 for 4days which I find really expensive, compared to book a batches in gold Coast or NZ (However accommodation in Raro is expensive). The host was super nice especially after we found it really hard to find after a late flight in the dark. She was super accommodating and patient with us. Would definitely stay here again as it was so close to everything yet quiet. It was also very clean, beds and pillows were nice. Couch though is broken foam inside on the seat with the layout part and smelly from someone sweating and lying on it."
