10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful place, could see the ocean from the room. I love that there was a kitchenette and a spot to sit and watch the tides come in and out. Its a walk away from everything in town. Quiet place, they were doing some renovations but we were out the entire time they were working and it didn't other us. On-site laundry, the host was lovely. And super helpful. We will be coming back to Whitianga!"

"Car park was a struggle to get in and out of with not much backing room and turn space. Friendly staff just wished I hadnโ€™t had to wait a while to get a fresh set of towels, seen a family waiting for a staff member was there for a long period of time. When arriving not properly greeted or instructed on how cleaning and everything works (or even telling us tourist about whatโ€™s around here and what activities are on etc)"
