My family and I went to Kimi Ora for four days and we enjoyed every minute of it!! Its such a beautiful location and so peaceful. Its only an hour away from Nelson which makes it very easy to get to as a quick getaway. Once we were there, the children were able to swim in the heated pool which... More

All i can say is sort it out Kimi Ora. Your facilities and lack of friendly staff undermine a 'real' resort which is half the price for a better experience. Had a massage which was 'meant' to be an hour and a half COUPLES massage. Which we ended up in SEPARATE rooms. The massage wasn't that great and after the... More

We arrived at about 9pm, but the office had left out our key and paperwork for us. We went straight to the hot tub and swam in the pool since they closed at 10pm and we wanted to enjoy some of the amenities. Both were very nice. The pool was warm enough for my daughters to swim in, but a... More

We are 2 friends on a girls getaway weekend for 2 nights - but we could have easily stayed for longer (if it wasn't for husbands, kids and jobs calling us back!). We booked a 1 bedroom chalet and had Unit 12. This gave us a king bed in the bedroom and a single bed in the living room which... More

We stayed 2 nights at Kimi Ora...the rooms were spotlessly clean...but very tired. You can tell the resort is 20 years old. The staff were friendly & we made use of the spa, pools, sauna, steam room etc. The steam room smelled musty & mouldy so we didn't stay in there for very long. The lay out of the resort... More

We stayed here about sixteen years ago and already had a wonderful stay then. We were happy to still find it up and running and decided to stay a few days. The view from the chalets and restaurant is just beautiful and calms the soul. Our compliments go to the very efficient and helpful staff and also to the Chef... More

We booked a chalet very last minute at Kimi Ora for our "mini-moon". And what a find! I had seen the restaurant and spa advertised on previous visits to Kaiteri but wasn't aware there was a resort. The chalet was extremely comfortable, clean and well-appointed set in a beautiful bush location with great views across Kaiteri beach. It was wonderful... More

We were very disappointed. It was run down, dirty and overpriced. It may have been nice 30 or 40 years ago but it doesn't look like it's been renovated since. There are much nicer places to stay closer to Abel Tasman. Keep driving!

Kimi Ora Eco Resort started 25 years ago, on a piece of land with regrowing bush and a magnificent sea view. The Chalets are spread out on the 12 ha property and blend into the native forest. We...
