This property is extremely well laid out for 10 people to stay together and not be on top of each other. The facilities are clean and provide an excellent view over Gloucester.

We are a group of eight friends who go away each year to various places. We all so enjoyed our stay at Kia Ora. The accommodation was spacious and very clean. Each of the 5 bedrooms were very comfortable with their own ensuites. The very large kitchen was well stocked with plenty of cooking utensils and crockery and cutlery. We all enjoyed the outdoor areas with wonderful views over the beautiful countryside. A great place to spend with family or friends. Would highly recommend Kia Ora.

This house lived up to its expectations and then some. It is a perfect house/location and catered extremely well for a group of 10 adults. Could not speak highly enough of this house. Thank you for a memorable break for all the right reasons.

Kia Ora was a great getaway from Sydney. Lovely views, quiet, spacious, comfortable, clean and everything you could need for a short stay. The pool and new poolside pergola were a hit - we loved having dinner under the pergola as the sun set and the lights of town twinkled in the distance. Clarrie and Bree welcomed daily carrots and the bird life and frogs made for interesting daily encounters! From booking to checkout and all communication in between, all interactions were prompt, informative and pleasant. Thank you for a memorable stay.

Wonderful property, the views are amazing! Feels so private yet only a 10 minute drive to the shops. We were a family group of up to 7 including 2 teens and stayed 7 nights. There was something for everyone to do.We spent most of our time in the amazing pool and eating outside under the cabana looking at the gorgeous hills.The kids loved feeding the 2 horses every morning. The property was very clean and had everything we needed. There was plenty of space for us all to be together but the bedrooms with ensuites gave everyone time to themselves as well. The aircon worked well-we had some pretty hot days! The gardens, including a fantastic vege patch were beautiful. We had plenty of limes for our afternoon gin and tonics! We did a number of activities in the area including bush walking and moutain bike riding but in the end we all just wanted to spend most days at the property! Check in was very easy and the host communicated well. One of the best properties we have stayed at. Highly recommend.

This is our 3rd time to stay at Kia Ora and will not. be our last ,Easy booking and check in.The house easily accomodated our family and has everything that is needed for a long stay .All rooms have ensuites and aircon, and pool is a bonus on those hot days.Top notch house and facilities.Also if you are looking at going to a winery try Gloucester River Wines and book ahead with John for a most informative wine tasting experience. Regards Peter and Family

Property is perfectly located with beautiful mountain views and not far from Gloucester. House was clean, comfortable and provided a great balance between private nicely appointed bedrooms, all with ensuites, and a range of open communal spaces. We made use of the pool and BBQ area. Overall, a great place to spend time with friends and relax, and we will return with friends again.

Amazing - really hit the mark for our group.

Wonderful location great amenities will certainly return

This property was perfect for a girls long weekend away. It was a great location for exploring around Gloucester. The house had what we needed to make our weekend relaxed, enjoyable, and comfortable. We are already planning for our next stay.

Very comfortable with good country views.

Everything was so perfect about this property. We enjoyed a lot in a clean well-decorated beautiful house with an amazing view!

Our whole experience, from arrival to departure was wonderful. The house is lovely, spacious and has beautiful views. The pool was lovely. The cleaner was delightful, the property manager was lovely. Absolutely no complaints, we will definitely return in the future.

My partner and I stayed here with a group of our friends. Each room had it's own bathroom which gave each of us our own privacy and space. The view was amazing, peaceful and we got to enjoy the company of some furry friends within the property. The place was also very clean and spacious. We had good communication with the property manager and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! :-)

Top excellent

excellent retreat. beautiful location. Tranquil.

Kia Ora was a perfect quick escape for our family after being so stressed at work for a long time. the house could accommodate all of us with our children and maintain each couple's privacy. the view is stunning specially from the pool. the garden is gorgeous. just could not get enough of the blooming Jacaranda trees. the kids enjoyed a wide variety of toys and board games as much as we enjoyed taking lots of photos with the horses.

The perfect house to host our end of season celebration - ladies netball team. Beautiful, clean house with everything you could possibly need. We swam, relaxed, ate, drank, played card games & laughed! Definitely recommend Kia Ora Lookout Retreat. We will be back!!

It was awesome

We had the best time at Kia Ora Retreat, the property is luxurious and spacious, with everything you need and more. The area is beautiful, very quiet and peaceful but still close to town. The views are spectacular! Thank you Stephen and Jane for being so lovely and helpful, we’d love to come back in the future.

The house was lovely, clean and spacious and the property and location were beautiful, perfect for a relaxing few days. We would love to return another time!

We had an excellent four day weekend. Close to the National Parks. Only minutes from town, but you feel like you are out in the country. So relaxing. The house was brilliant, we loved the pool and the views were excellent. Can't wait to come back.

We were a group of 5 ladies and Kia Ora was perfect for us. Plenty of space inside and out. The facilities were very good including large kitchen and open fire. Only down side is the pool is not heated

A wonderful experience from the time of booking through to staying. Stephen was incredibly helpful and timely at answering any questions we had. The photos do not do this property justice. Amazing views, an abundance of space and the quality of the facilities was second to none.

what a beautiful location and beautiful house we loved it!

I don’t think I’ve ever described a property as perfect but there is only one word for KiaOra. Location, amenities, inclusions, views, cleanliness, features and everything you could wish for are included in this beautiful property! For a small group this is the perfect venue!

We are a group of 5 couples in our 50’s & 60’s, we had a fantastic stay at Kia Ora Retreat, the house is amazing, 5 lovely bedrooms with their own en-suite. Lovely big kitchen, plenty of room for a large group. Everything about the house was great. The property manager Jane was fantastic, we had a small problem with the hot water which was fixed quickly. Unfortunately it was too cold to try out the lovely pool, hopefully next time. If you are wanting to getaway to a beautiful peaceful place this is it, everything is well set out, just perfect, we can’t wait to come back.

I don't have words to describe this wonderful property. This place needs to be experienced in order to truly understand what it has to offer.

Our experience at Kia Ora was incredible. The property was above and beyond our expectations and the communication we received was 10/10. The best accommodation in Gloucester. Can’t wait to return

We loved the property large clean and comfy perfect for this time of year

Thank you for our lovely weekend. The property is beautiful, with everything you could need, supplied. The views are amazing and we can’t wait to come back.

This is our second time staying here and we will back again next year! Fantastic property, wonderful people to deal with. Cannot fault anything about Kia Ora!
