Guest Reviews
- Kavita (10/5): -
- Simon (10/5): - Great location, friendly staff and very comfortable clean room
- Pushpalatha (8/5): -
- Klaus und Bonnie Jean (10/5): Alles super, aber leider wir müssen für 1nacht verkürzen wegen Unwetter. - Alles
- Karen Joyce (10/5): - Ambiance and location of the property. None.
- Richard (8/5): Beautiful Location. Lovely Stay. - Beautiful beach frontage with excellent views, hot tub, range of other facilities such as kayaks , BBQ, spades, laundry etc. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable room and bed We found this among the most expensive places we stayed at in NZ and for the price point I would have expected a dishwasher. Some furnishings need updating too.
- Jordon (10/5): The view was amazing! We got to kayak and walk to dinner, it was perfect. - Beach front and use of water toys. Nothing
- Wolfgang (8/5): -
- David (10/5): Third time returned in 26 years and that’s coming from England - Couldn’t get any closer to the beach and the sea Just super
- earth44 (9/5): - Freundliche Gastgeber. Tolle Lage direkt am Strand (obwohl zu Fuss etwas weit vom Stadtzentrum entfernt). Gut ausgestattes und sauberes Zimmer mit Blick auf den Strand und das Meer. Die Küche roch unangenehm komisch.
- Roland (8/5): Schön gelegen - Das Zimmer mit Strandsicht war eigentlich toll, leider hatten wir nur Regen und Sturm. Es war alles Wichtige vorhanden, einen Schirm gab es auf Nachfrage. Bei gutem Wetter eine schöne Unterkunft mit Garten und direktem Zugang zum Meer. Nichts
- Thomas (9/5): -
- Eva (10/5): Un lugar soñado - La playa de enfrente te deja sin palabras, no tuvimos ni ganas de movernos del hotel. Fue francamente una sorpresa muy positiva, la ubicación del hotel un poco resguardado del pueblo se agradece por la paz que se vive. Nuestra habitación daba a la calle, lo sabíamos, no nos molestó, pero sería lo único negativo para mencionar, porque el resto estaba todo de 10.
- Mikkel (10/5): -
- Monique (10/5): Exceptional stuff and stay - How beautifully presented every part of beachfront was and how private it was N/a
- shelley (10/5): - The hospitality was great.

- Gaye (8/5): Great spot, tidy comfortable units - Great spot Price for off peak was a little high
- Nicolo (10/5): - Wundervolle Lage direkt am Strand! Alles sehr sauber und ordentlich
- Kristina (9/5): Tolle Aussicht und alles da, was man braucht - Tolle Aussicht auf Strand und Meer, alles da, was man braucht incl Kayaks und Sparen fürs Buddeln am Hot Water Beach. Etwas weit draußen vom Ortskern Whitianga, wenn man zum Einkaufen oder Abendessen laufen möchte (ca. 35 Minuten ein Weg).

- Eilis (9/5): A really nice property in a great location - We booked at the last minute so had to take a room overlooking the parking lot and road. We could see that there were really nice rooms available so if returning we would try to book one of those. To be fair our room was cheaper and was perfectly adequate. Nothing

- Darryl (10/5): - Lots of well conceived little details. A very nice experience.
- Michael (8/5): Very good - Beach access and view were excellent. Very clean version of an old style hotel.

- Deborah (9/5): Superb -
- Luke (10/5): Great room, spectacular view, fantastic location -
- Martin (10/5): - Old school motel on beautiful beach 5 minutes out of town. Older but immaculate with hot tub, kayaks, right on the beach. Highly recommend
- Roy (9/5): Heaven on earth. - Everybody was helpful and friendly. The accommodation was comfortable, but the location was outstanding.
We arrived very late and I woke early the following morning, stepped out onto the balcony and witnessed a glorious sunrise.
I walked into town, which was about a forty minute trip.
The seafront and promenade is beautiful.
The walk back along the beach, and the walk to the other end of the bay gave different but equally stunning vistas.
Sitting on the sunbeds,right on the front edge of the lawn, was like heaven on earth.
We could have stayed forever.
- John (9/5): Flying visit that was fantastic and will plan to come back - Great beach access, brilliant outdoor spa pool and shower As above
- Joanne (7/5): Good -
- Barb (7/5): Enjoyed walking on the beach and using the hot tub - Beautiful beach and views No air conditioning, and no screens on door and windows. You open the windows to get fresh air and the bugs would fly in!!! No dishwasher.
- Andries (10/5): Perfect stay along a beautiful beach - Unbelievably clean and well looked after. Even the smallest things were in place. What a lovely place. I cant think of anything to improve - they had it all
- David (8/5): Would go back - Location was very good. Staff friendly. Room clean and spacious. The noise all night from pressure tanks outside room 7 kept us awake.
- Daniels (10/5): You would not want to go back home... absolute bliss. - Amazing view, clean apartment...spa pool was an absolute delight. The people in the top apartment were inconsiderate in what sounded like moving furniture around. Absolutely terrible guests and completely outside of the control of the property owners.

Our host and accommodation were excellent.
- Zane (10/5): Outstanding stay for two - Everything !! Amazing …. Such a lovely room
And view Loved it all
- Stephen (10/5): A very enjoyable and relaxing stay - the owners let you get on with it at your own pace. - Well-equipped and comfortable. Spotlessly clean. Stunning beach location with beautiful beachside garden and bbq area. A wonderful and relaxing place
- Joe (10/5): Fabulous! - The cleanliness here is the highest among all the hotels I’ve stayed at—note: the very best, without exception. Every detail, from the nooks and crannies to each piece of cutlery, plate, and even glassware, is spotless, without a single fingerprint. The hotel’s front may be unremarkable, but the back garden opens up to a stunning beach with a breathtaking ocean view. They offer single kayaks and life vests. We love it here and highly recommend it! Nothing
