This apartment is right across the road from the beach. Sitting on the deck overlooking the beach is beautiful. Bed was big and comfortable, room spacious and clean. Our host, Vivienne, was very nice and accommodating and gave us suggestions on where tomgo and where to eat. 5

Was a little disappointed by the lack of significant seaview from within the unit itself but it was only a few steps to the balcony that had all the views and breeze you could want so you could sit there with your coffee/wine/beer in fine style. Well situated with easy walk via beach or footpath back into the township. Not much variety on the tv channels but who cares in such generally great surroundings. Pleasant and casual host - kiwi style! only whinge was not about the motel but about quality of dining out in whitianga itself but if you stay well away from the pub grub and spend a bit extra on a "proper" restaurant meal you should be ok. 5

Friendly and welcoming hostess. The living area of the 2 bedroom apartment was rather smaller than expected. Privacy is not great as the doors and windows all look out onto common walkways and the carpark. We enjoyed the bbq area although it would benefit from a proper table and chairs. We had to eat our meals off our laps as there is not adequate seating around the table. 5

Thanks for your comments Elaine. It is a small lounge area unfortunately I can't improve on that unless I take the 2nd bedroom out.

Ok. Accommodation was adequate. Hostess was friendly and helpful. Extremely wet weather spoilt our stay and it was a nuisance that the stairs to the appartment were so far from the car. . 5

Excellent friendly hostess, and the unit had all that we required for a nights stay. My only gripe would be the shower ran out of hot water in the morning. Would return again. 5

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. Sorry you ran out of hot water hopefully if you return this will not happen again, other than that problem i am pleased you enjoyed your stay in this beautiful part of NZ

Very friendly welcoming host. The studio unit was definitely compact, hardly room to walk around the bed and as long as you didn't mind getting down on your hands and knees to find the kitchen cutlery and plates then i guess it was ok. Did have a nice balcony and partial sea view. Not the best value for money on our north island trip. 1

Hi there sorry you were disappointed with your stay with me. I am considering shifting the bed to the front of the room which would give more room around the bed and shift the lounge area to where the bed is. Your comments on that idea would be appreciated.

Lovely hostess and perfectly adequate accommodation for what i needed. Great location. This may well become my default choice for a place to stay in whitianga. 5
