“We had the most amazing time in Rarotonga and the wedding was perfect. I think everybody should come to your resort and have you as their wedding planner! It really was paradise for us, and our families and friends had a great time. I have told people that if they haven't been to Rarotonga before to definitely put it down on their list of places to go. We have finally settled back into routine and back at work, but it wasn't easy. Scott wants to move to Rarotonga now! Once again, thanks for everything. We will definitely be back! Regards, Sue Harding”

“Thank you for the amazing job you did for our wedding.  It will be the highlight of our lives for many years to come, and I don't think we will ever have any regrets in doing it the way we did. Everyone was really excited and happy for us when we came home and told them all!! Thank you also for the lovely gift of our wedding shells which arrived today, and will live on the bookshelf that the family have got us for a wedding present! Thanks again & Kia Manuia, Katrina and Gavin”

“Well, what a shock it was flying back into Dunedin!!! 12 degrees and raining.  We all looked quite ridiculous in our shorts and singlets!! Thank you so much to ALL the staff at The Rarotongan, you guys were truly amazing.  We had an unbelievable holiday and wedding, we wish we were still there eating and drinking cocktails by the pool!!  You all went above and beyond your duty to make us feel comfortable.  The food and drinks were some of the best we have ever tasted (and drank).  You really give NZ a run for our money!!!  The entertainment was first class, We really felt no need to leave the resort. Paul, thank you for the stunning photos.  You have an amazing skill.  You have really captured the moment.  The photos were one of the most important things for us, and we couldn't be happier! Heather, you have made all of our dreams come true.  We can't get over how stressfree everything was. Thanks once again, I often think about how fabulous our wedding was & we wouldn’t change a thing!!  We can’t wait to come back. Until we meet again. Adam & Janice Turoa

Our room was very comfortable and having the DVD, CD and spa was great. Each day was made all the more pleasant by the happy, sincere greetings from staff and other patrons enjoying their stay. The staff always had lovely big smiles for us, as well as helpful and cheery attitudes. Thank you for an absolutely wonderful honeymoon.” Yours sincerely, Jody & Tim Sydenham
