Great location- close to the ferry, downtown shops and restaurants with ample parking underground. Clean and spacious 2 bedroom suite with kitchenette. Bonus washing machine and drying rack! Didn’t have any issues with the shower floor getting wet.
Appreciated the binder with helpful tips about activities, where to eat, etc. Wish we booked a balcony with a better view, Mercury Bay is beautiful.

Nice ocean view. Comfortable beds. Good restaurants nearby.
Welcome to Oceans 88. We are absolute waterfront overlooking our stunning harbor with it’s own jetty. Literally, a hop skip and jump from the pool into the sea.

The location was good close to everything we wanted to do; Cathedral Cove, hot Water Beach, Shakespeare Point and the town. The manager was pleasant, helpful and thoughtful. The room was big , clean with comfortable beds. Would recommend.

We really enjoyed our 1 night stay at this gem of a place,...
We really enjoyed our 1 night stay at this gem of a place, set in a lush forest. The surroundings were idyllic, with beautiful vistas over Whitianga town and beach. The bed was superb and breakfast was amazing - more than we could eat with more than 6 types of fruit, yoghurt, bacon & eggs, and mushrooms and tomatoes, toast...... We've never seen such a variety of teas and coffee on offer! Wish we had had more than 1 night to enjoy Beverley and Dave's wonderful hospitality. 10 out of 10!!

We joined a cruise to the Cathedral Cove from Whitianga.
We joined a cruise to the Cathedral Cove from Whitianga. It was very nice and enjoyable. The beach was scenic. It is a small town but with 2 big supermarkets where we can buy fresh local food.
It is a long drive from Auckland. It would be easier if there is car ferry from Auckland east to the Coromandel pennisula.

Whitianga is a beautiful place especially the area we stayed...
Whitianga is a beautiful place especially the area we stayed in being surrounded by the beach. Everything is close by in walking distance. What a bonus. The people are lovely and friendly. We tried the Slice slice baby - pizza place because we seen a lot of people going in and out and now we know why! We also had fish and chips from the shop just next to the pizza and by far the best fish and chips I've had. Fresh and tasty.

Small town but had most things you would want access to. Lovely beach and it had a lovely peaceful feel about it. Enjoyed dining at Stoked Bar and Grill. Had a great vibe and was across from the beach.

Whitianga is the perfect place to stay on the Coromandel...
Whitianga is the perfect place to stay on the Coromandel Peninsula. The town had plenty of facilities and we enjoyed using the passenger ferry to Shakespeare lookout.
The town has plenty of bars, restaurants and cafes, some of the bars have DJ nights and live music.
The town has plenty of little shops, we found everything we needed from a chemist to a second-hand book shop. There are lots of cute little independent boutiques & shops, convenience stores and some big brand names including Countdown, New World and Subway! Plus several places to get fuel.
There are restaurants galore, Indian, Chinese, Thai, bistro style and pie shops.
If we stayed here again we would rent a property a little bit away from the centre of town, the outdoor DJ kept us away until 12.45 one night!!
Lovely spacious apartment just outside the main streets of Whitianga. Surprisingly we had two parking spaces. A garage and an uncovered space. We enjoyed the swimming pool and tennis courts. If we had stayed longer we would have used the kayaks too.
The lady in reception was very helpful in settling us in and informing us on what to do in the area. If she hadn’t done this I don’t think we would have seen the wonderful beaches north of Whitianga, which are outstanding. So thank you.
Amazing property & location, better than any 5 star resort! The breakfast was very culinary and Don & Heather are outstanding hosts! The views during breakfast were incredible! The room we stayed in was super clean had all amenities with very nice thoughtful touches to make us fee like home. We even had our own garden with the coolest garden furniture! Ability to use the washer & dryer was very much appreciated. Highly recommend this property! We felt very welcomed!
Hands down one of the best places we have stayed. Exceptional service, clean, comfortable, gorgeous surroundings with lots to explore. The breakfast supplied was incredible and far exceeded our expectations. Hosts were absolutely wonderful, thought of everything with no little detail missed. The tree top bath house was bliss. Close to town, but far enough for some secluded luxury. Will definetly be back in summer. 10/10
Heather and Don are soooo sweet and made us feel very welcomed. At first, we were a bit worried about the accommodation behind shared but we are glad that we decided to give it a try anyways - the views are amazing and location is perfect! Room is very clean and had everything we need. I will definitely stay here again the next time I visit Whitianga.
The view is amazing. The apartment located away from the main house is beautifully decorated. It is a dream location and just 5 minutes drive away from Whitianga. The hosts were very nice and very discreet. We enjoyed the quietness and the beauty of the place. The 3 days that we spent there were a dream part of our vacation
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.
A lovely home and room with a lovely garden. The room had many heartwarming overseas items, so different from ordinary motels. Nice couple and three animals as lovely as the owners.
The guest lounge was clean and cosy, with an electric jug to make hot drinks.
Exceptionally clean. The house has a good size of living, bedroom and toilet. It also comes with top grade coffee. The bed is so comfortable. The host, Jennie, is so detailed with the instructions to ensure we have a good stay.
Better than a 6 stars hotel
Nice view looking out over the water, there was only one road between the hotel and the beach. The road was noisy at times but once the windows were closed you couldn't hear anything. Very close to Whitianga township.
An older style motel right in the middle of Whitianga, near Buffalo Beach, the wharf and downtown shopping. The owner was super friendly, and the rooms were comfortable and clean - met our expectations.
Exactly what we wanted for an overnighter in Whitianga! The two women at reception we charming and helpful in navigating to Hot Water Beach. Our room for 3 was VERY comfortable!
Beautiful spacious, modern and very comfortable apartment with everything you need for a perfect stopover at Whitianga. Sheree, the hostess is very warm and friendly.
