Guest Reviews
- Matthias (10/5): Phantastische Unterkunft! - ALLES! Modern, sauber, ruhig (es ist Nachsaison) und geschmackvoll eingerichtet mit viel Platz. Es fehlte an Nichts! Die Veranda ist gemütlich, der Blick aufs Meer ist toll (Sonnenaufgänge). Das Team - Betreiber + Mitarbeiter sind sehr nett.
Unsere schönste Unterkunft (sind 2 Monate unterwegs)! Da gibt es NICHTS.
- Kenny (10/5): A ten out of ten experience - Location is superb. Beach across the road and city and restaurants an easy walk away. Space, space, space. So peaceful too.
- Leo (9/5): A beautiful unit in a lovely town - The location was wonderful, and we could easily walk to everything. The room was great, with everything we needed, and with big windows overlooking the beach. There was also a glassed in sunroom/balcony to enjoy. The parking was much appreciated, as was the advice on local activities. Our room was on the first floor, up one flight of stairs. I tried the beach across the road, but the current was too strong for me - maybe go for the hot springs. Nothing we didn't like
- Julie (9/5): Would definitely sta again - Excellent location, superb view. Very comfortable, clean and great size.
- Gill (9/5): -
- Pauline (9/5): -
- Pieter (9/5): -
- Timsparky (10/5): -
- Scott (8/5): Good location, clean, bed comfortable. - Very good location, staff very kindly, valuable
- Lynette (10/5): I would recommend if your after a really nice place to stay in close walking distance to town with a beautiful view - Size of room was perfect and a beautiful view out to the water . Very quiet.
- Jennifer (10/5): -
- Ashleigh (10/5): - Awesome place to stay! Amazing view. Fairly priced
- Madeleine (9/5): Schönes Apartement mit Meerblick und hilfsbereiter Inhaberin - DIe Lage zum Strand und die Grösse des Zimmers.
Bei der Ankunft wurde uns von der Inhaberin viele Tipps gegeben. Das es keinen Balkon hatte der offen war, sondern dieser verglast war.
- Heidi (10/5): Perfect stay! - We loved it!! Modern apartment, sea views, enclosed balcony, a beautiful bath!
- Denise Camilleri (8/5): -
- Andrea (8/5): - A nicely decorated apartment with a stunning view on the bay, located in walking distance to the wharf and the city centre.
Everything was super clean and the bed was comfortable.
We spent 5 rainy and stormy days here and would definitely come again! The air conditioning is poorly located directly above the bed.
- Dr. Stephan (8/5): -
- Tara (10/5): -
- Andrea (10/5): Beautiful views, great location - Amazing views and great location. The space was just perfect for us - we enjoyed wine while looking at the ocean from the warmth of the conservatory room. Slightly dated but everything clean and worked.
- Bao (10/5): Definitely would recommend this place. Great location, clean and rigjt across from the lake with full waterfront view. - The room was very clean and comfortable, with a great waterfront location and full lake views right from the room. It’s also close to restaurants and bars, all within easy walking distance. Chris was an amazing host—he even helped us with our laundry and let us use the washer and dryer for free, which we really appreciated.
- Albena (10/5): -
- Julie (9/5): - Fabulous location with lovely sea views. Very helpful hosts who gave us recommendations for coffee and dinner . Lots to do and see nearby
- Julienne (10/5): -
- Peter (10/5): - Great location, spotless clean, very comfortable & staff excellent. Opposite beach but water a bit churned up to swim, minor issue, plenty of other places very close to swim.
- Jo (8/5): Nice stay in Whitianga - Very warm welcome at reception. Location was great, just cross the road and you’re on the beach. Spacious apartment and clean on arrival. Would stay again.
- Guest (9/5): It was excellent -
- Renato (10/5): - Wie schon gesagt: Einfach alles. Die Lage, die Wohnung, das Personal. Es hat alles bestens gepasst.
Währen gerne noch geblieben, leider mussten wir weiter.
- Tracey (10/5): Comfortable & Clean - stunning surrounds - Clean & Convenient
Great recommendations for sight seeing
- Jane (7/5): Great location, adequate facilities, not quite what we expected. - Spacious, great location, waterfront and close to shops/restaurants, with a very comfortable bed. For an apartment, despite the dishwasher, there was minimal/ basic kitchen utensils, no coffee machine/plunger. Toiletries supplied were barely adequate. The bathroom did not have an extractor fan and opening a window was not an option for privacy reasons, the shower leaked water out on the bathroom floor which was a slip hazard, the grab rail by the toilet had been installed incorrectly and was ineffective. Overall the apartment showed its age.
- Tracey (8/5): Relaxing. Not long enough - Location Nothing
- Jo (9/5): - Very comfortable and great position. Easy walking to town, the marina and its around the corner from the hot springs.
- Michelle (10/5): - Exceeded our expectations, would stay again
- Kathy (9/5): -
- Laure (9/5): Apaisant - Emplacement, fabuleux, vue, magnifique, appartement très très beau
- Teresa (7/5): OK for one night's stay. - Bed was very comfortable. View from lounge was lovely. Good location. Most expensive accommodation we have stayed in over the last few months and was not value for money. Only 1 small towel each for the shower. Only 1 shampoo/conditioner/shower gel per couple. No fan in bathroom. Handle on bathroom door was for pull door, so kept forgetting it was a slide door. Lipstick left on mug in cupboard. Weird balcony room that had the airconditioning unit in it, and the joinery went straight across your vision so you couldn't actually see the view unless you slumped right down in the chairs, or stood up.
- Marie (10/5): - Great location and awesome staff.
- Nancy (10/5): Great location, comfortable accommodation and friendly helpful staff - Very comfortable accommodation and friendly helpful staff. Nothing comes to mind
- Eden (8/5): - Location, location location!
- Donna (10/5): Wish we had longer than a night. - Perfect location, spacious and comfortable.
- Andy (10/5): Perfect - Location was superb. A good skin lotion would have added that final touch.
- Natalia (10/5): Anika greeted us warmly on arrival and made us feel very welcome. The ocean view was absolutely amazing and one of the h - Location, friendly receptionist, amazing view. N/A
- Philip (10/5): -
- Danny (9/5): -
- Paul (9/5): Brilliant location, we will return - Million dollar view across buffalo beach, short stroll to game fishing club for the best price panhead and meals. Given the price a coffee machine would be great
- Ranger (10/5): -
- Benny (10/5): Genieten en relaxen in een ruim appartement met een veranda voor alle weer met zicht op zee - Ruim en comfortabel appartement, met een praktische veranda die zicht geeft op zee. Ideaal bij alle weersomstandigheden, met veel licht in de kamer.
De locatie is vlakbij het commerciële centrum van Whitianga.
De eigenaars zijn bijzonder attent, kwamen ook regelmatig checken of alles goed was met ons toen we 48 uur in noodweer zaten. Ze waren ook zeer flexibel toen we ons verblijf een dag moesten verlengen vanwege geblokkeerde wegen door het noodweer. Geen tegenvallers eigenlijk.
- Hadi (10/5): Everything was great - I liked everything about the booking
- Lotti (7/5): Helt ok - Stranden låg mitt över gatan - när till jourbutik och resturanger Vi missade att det inte var uteplats eller balkong men det var för att vi inte läste tillräckligt noggrant -
- Quigley (10/5): -
- Wendy (8/5): Great location right across from the beach - The location was fantastic as it was right across the road from the beach. The size of the apartment was also good. The staff were very polite and friendly. Shared laundry facilities from 10am to 4pm only which made it inconvenient when the family wants to go swim at the beach later than 4pm.
No air conditioning in the bedrooms.
- Christian (10/5): -
- Arnette (9/5): Excellent place to stay -
- Jovana (10/5): - Can’t beat the view!! great location with friendly staff and easy parking! very reasonable price as well. would stay again!
- Teresa (9/5): Very nice option if visiting the Cormandel ! - Nice outdoor space with a view
Close to the beach and little town Limited space in bedroom no closet
- Lynne (8/5): -
- Tammy (10/5): Amazing apartment would stay again - Amazing rooms and location Nothing to dislike here
- Strong (10/5): The best location in town. - Amazing location, stunning outlook and easy walking distance to the beach (across the road!) or the shops and restaurants. It was the perfect spot for this town and I was thrilled with my selection. Excellent shower pressure, effective heating and comfortable bedding. All wins. One evening I had guests upstairs with a child who seemed to like jumping up and down and it disturbed my peace. Unfortunately, it felt and sounded so intrusive. Luckily they must have checked out the next day. Phew. I was there midweek and a weekend in winter so it was very peaceful overall. Also not being from NZ I was very anxious when we received a tsunami warning and I had no idea on how to respond. Also the next day an exterior (town wide) alarm sounded for some time, and I had no idea what it was warning me to or how to respond. I would have appreciated some basic oh&s safety advice and response recommendations in the room. At a minimum in the compendium. It was a new and somewhat stressful experience for me and I would have appreciated the information on hand. Thank you.
- Shirley (7/5): We enjoyed it. - Location Back door glass needs cleaning. Walls can see where cleaning has been attempted. Bed was like a swamp.
- Sharlene May (8/5): - Limited supply of toiletries, servicing of room

- Harinder (10/5): -
- Maarit (10/5): Lovely place, everything worked perfectly, and the view was stunning. - Lovely accommodation where everything worked perfectly. The tips provided by the host were very helpful, and the view was absolutely stunning and truly unforgettable. -
- Emmi (9/5): Good location
Close to town and beach. - Location No coffee making facilities
The bed was not comfy
- Kathryn (10/5): Very relaxing and we would return. - Directly opposite the beach and close to great restaurants. Felt that this was a perfect location. Very handy that there was a mini-mart a couple of minutes away. Our apartment had an amazing view over the bay. The apartments were exceptionally well appointed and very comfortable. Very nice hot shower. Hosts were super friendly - they lent us some shovels to use at Hot Water beach, and were very helpful in assisting us with using the onsite laundry and clothesline. The only small negative is that there is no air conditioning in the bedrooms for the 2 bedroom apartment (although a fan was provided). We were there in the middle of summer (30 degrees) and it was fine without air conditioning in the bedrooms, but if you had exceptionally hot weather you might find it warm. The air conditioning in the living room worked very well. This is not an issue for the studios as they have air-conditioning throughout.
- Stephen (10/5): Great stay in great studio apartment - Clean, spacious and great views
- Gill (10/5): This was such a great spot for a holiday. We will definitely be back. - The management team were friendly and helpful, offering good advice about local tourist attractions.
- anne-Marie (9/5): Top emplacement face mer - Son emplacement face mer
L’accès à pied aux restaurants/boutiques

- Len (9/5): Ideal unit for a short stay - Location,cleanliness and size Nothing
- Bhavani (10/5): Excellent relaxing place to stay - Location
Cleanliness
Very comfortable beds Nothing in particular
- Derrick (10/5): Beautiful spot in whitanga . Easy drive to the cotherdal cove, hot water beaches + more - Location, interior and staff. N/A
- Heather (10/5): Wonderful relaxing stay with incredible views. - The views were amazing, and we loved that it was just out of the town centre but still easily walkable to all locations. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was so spacious! Everything was clean & modern, and the shower had great water pressure. The AC worked great. Our hosts were gracious. We highly recommend! This is not an issue with the property but rather advice for future visitors: be strategic with when you pull the drapes. We left the drapes open our first day there (who wants to cover that amazing view?!) and came back at the end of the day to a very hot apartment. But the next day, we closed the drapes before we left, and the temp was just fine when we came home.
- Beata (10/5): -
- Pooja (10/5): -
- Indra (6/5): - Location and tidiness Hospitality, parking
- Woo (10/5): Great apartment with great views - Very comfortable apartment and the beds were perfect for a good nights sleep. Its just across from the beach and within walking distance of all pubs, cafes and takeaways. We only stayed one night but wished we could've stayed longer. Nothing to dislike!

- Q (10/5): -
- Christian (7/5): - Die Wohnung ist zweckmäßig und fußläufig zum Zentrum. Restaurant und Supermarkt in der Nähe. Mobiliar etwas in die Jahre gekommen aber sauber. Ausblick auf Meer allerdings liegt zwischen dem Haus und dem Meer eine befahrene Straße. Im Schlafzimmer hört man davon nicht viel. Zimmer im ersten Stock ist besser da man über die Straße hinweg auf das Meer schaut.
- Jun (8/5): -
- Ljubinka Petrovska (10/5): - Location

- Caroline (9/5): -
- Caroline (10/5): Was a great holiday. - Location was great. Owners were very helpful. The view was superb. An upgrade on lounge furniture would be an improvement yet not necessary as they are perfectly fine
- Pengyi (9/5): Nice place to stay, may come back in the future. - Staff was quite kind and active. Borrow us towel and chop to hot water beach. Good instructions for local stores as well.
Location is excellent, beach is the right front you. Bath room is a little bit old
