Southern Cook Islands, Australia - New Zealand and the South Pacific hotel rooms at the Independent

"The staff were so friendly and helpful. Great location for sunset and beautiful location, gardens are so nicely kept. The room was adequate for our needs. Great day spa, thanks Rosa for the amazing deep tissue massage. Great Island night and breakfast was a hit with the kids. Able to see the humpback whales while eating breakfast in the morning, how amazing. Really efficient with meals at the restaurant with so many people ordering. Nice atmosphere and local bus pulls right into the resort making getting around the island easy. Also rented a car from rental car place onsite, really easy. Nice and close to airport for our early morning flight, cannot hear the planes from the resort. Excellent place, we would love go back."

"Wonderful staff. Great beach at the front. Restaurant food portion is too big and we all gained weight. Perfect place in paradise. "

"Everything was right there in the resort beach , snorkeling, restaurant, They had kayaks,paddle boards , snorkeling gear. Lots of activities for all ages. One thing I wish they had was a kitchen area in rooms. Other wise had a amazing time.."

"Excellent for what we needed."

"Peace and quiet "

"Beautiful beaches right outside your door, warm seas, cool breezes, delicious food just across the road, Night Markets right next door, a bus stop right outside not to mention sunrises to die for. Buy into the vibe and you'll have the time of your lives. . ."

"I loved the location of each bungalows, how they were styled and the privacy of being able to enjoy your own beautiful view from your deck and the natural but carefully manicured tropical surroundings; and the facilities provided and offered. It was also so unique Being able to see the sunrise and sunset on the same day! A perfect and relaxed holiday and at all times all staff members were professional, welcoming and helpful, just excellent!! "
