Lounge Access - Rarotonga

[Notyourbag]

Hi All

VA Platinum looking at travelling to Rarotonga in April next year. Looking at flying ANZ60 from SYD-RAR. Is this flight eligible for VA points and status credits? The route is showing as 'Not Available' on the Velocity points calculator.

Also - there is a Koru Lounge at RAR airport. It's not listed on the International Lounge guide. I'm guessing this lounge (and Nadi?) isn't accessible for VA Gold & Platinums? Has anyone on AFF had any luck accessing these?

I'm pretty sure all Pacific Islands flights on Air NZ aren't eligible for Velocity status/points earn, and likewise, lounge access isn't recognised.
