At the motel, all rooms come with a wardrobe, a balcony with a garden view, a private bathroom, a flat-screen TV, bed linen and towels. Kiikii Inn & Suites features certain units with sea views, and the rooms come with a patio. The units will provide guests with a fridge.

10 out of 10. Amazing place next to sea. All Indonesian staff are friendly, supportive and kind. They arranged pick up from RAR airport for nominal fee but if running public buses are available since property is on ring road. A 24 hours open supermarket only 10 minutes walk away. I highly recommend KiiKii motel.

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    All staff were absolutely lovely. Had the gardener chop up some coconuts for us as a welcome which was a lovely suprise (especially because we were expecting to pay for it but didn’t). The rooms were lovely, we stayed in the motel instead of villas and although you get fewer amenities all basics are provided. They clean your room daily (including any cutlery, plates, etc). Overall, very satisfied with our stay.

    A basic but clean & comfortable motel type unit centrally located in Avarua. We had a late checkin and only stayed 1 night but it provided everything we needed - predominately air con, a good shower & comfy bed. Great communication with manager.

    The service was excellent, eg I emailed the motel very late about picking us up from the airport knowing that it would be impossible because we were on our way to catch our flight to Rarotonga. But you guys did it so impressed.

    Rosalia was exceptionally nice and made sure that we were comfortable during our stay. She made sure that we had clean towels every day and if we needed our room serviced. The motel is a stones throw away from the main town.

    As I am a ex Executive Housekeeper for Novotel, I did not realize how dirty the motel was. No towels Monday and Tuesday and no services. No one around the place to ask for towels. We cleaned our room as we liked to keep it clean.

    Reef Motel is situated beach front and the beach was lovely and swimming there was great too. There were plenty of loungers to relax on under palm trees or in sun. We could also watch the Whales passing the coral reef afew hundred metres out. The Motel was very spacious and the rooms and grounds well maintained. Very clean. Nice linen and towels. Also walking distance to shops and restaurants and bus stop.
