Couldn’t recommend this place enough, the apartment was lovely and spacious with the most incredible views (right across from the beach) super close to town and everything was so nice and clean that it felt like home, the beds were super comfy, well stocked kitchen and the staff were friendly! 10/10 would recommend

Wifi is basically non existent haha, shower pressure could be slightly stronger but nothing major

Fantastic view, the room is dated as we said to the manager, they informed us the room is due to be upgraded in July. The view made up for the very slight disappointment in the room. We will definitely return on our next visit to NZ. We found the locals to be very friendly and welcoming, there is an excellent selection or restaurants within a5 min walk.

Nothing we had a wonderful time in Whitianga.

Really great location as it is right by the waterfront and the apartments were very spacious. The rooms were nice and clean with all the amenities you need for the stay.

We had very strong wind over night which cause a high whistling noise by the door. I'd think if it was any other time then we probably would not have noticed the sound

The location is close to a great cafe, excellent fish'n chip shop and a well stocked Four Square mini supermarket. Also a being a short walk to the harbour, museum, town centre, and across the road from Buffalo Beach. The Managers are very obliging and welcoming. We liked the very comfortable beds, large TV, and the beach style decor with cane furniture. The heating was excellent and we were never cold. Our 5 night stay was a great holiday.

No adverse comments.

Went for anniversary. Have gone every year the past several years. Secret entrance to lost springs spa, easy 3 minute walk. Staggering distance to town for drinks after. Lovely staff, amazing rooms especially the ocean view apartments. Well worth a visit. One of THE best places to stay in Whiti

Staff and service is great! very kind and warm hearted staff! Very clean! Great location! Water pressure is amazing! lol. Will the recommend to my friends and come back again.

Nothing really. Only one thing to share is we stay at the 2 rooms studio. The room is not soundproof enough which we could hear the bathroom shower and hair dryer sounds very clearly. Nothing noisy from outside or other studio. Not a big concern though.

The room was perfect, great size and the view was to die for. Loved the little extra touch of flowers on the towels on the bed showed how proud the owners are and how much they enjoy having people stay.

Nothing - but do wish their Summer rates were a bit less as we would definitely stay there again.

This place has great facilities with an amazing view. It is the kind of place you'd dream of staying at while visiting Whitianga. Feels comfortable and the staff are lovely. Within close proximity to the shops and the pools. Have stayed here multiple times and will continue to frequent this excellent accomodation.

The place was perfect! Staff was very helpfull and friendly, and the lovely gentleman even called us later after we left and told that we forgot our teddy bear in the room! The room was perfect and clean, and the beds comfy, we even saw orcas from the balcony!! Definitely going back to this place next time we are in Whitianga! 10/10!
