Fantastic spot, close to everthing, friendly and welcoming staff, very clean, Spectacular Ocean Views, the location was perfect, walking distance to town and the lost springs. Nice spacious unit. Very comfortable, relaxing, and listening to the waves was very calming.Two nights wasnt enough, I will definately be going back!

I was really looking forward to staying at the Waterfront, but what is on the outside is not what is on the inside. The shower door had a line of mold along the bottom, there were numerous scuffs and marks on the walls, dirty footprints on the balcony windows, no refill of sugar, tea or coffee, rust on the front...

Hi Broken hill I am sorry that you were not happy with your accomodation. I have inspected the rooms in regards to your complaints and did find a small area in the shower which the ladies could not reach a tiny bit of mould which has been removed and replaced. We do have spiders in the area which cause the... More

This property is certainly well named, with only a road between it & the sea. The sea views must be great from all units. They certainly were from our ground floor studio unit. Although perhaps a little dated as to lay-out & décor we were well pleased. Our unit was a good size, neat, tidy, & clean. We found it... More

Unfortunately we only stayed one night, we wish it could have been more. These apartments are a class above. Fitted out beautifully, spotlessly clean and well equipped. The location is perfect overlooking the ocean yet is only a 5 minute walk from the town centre, wharf and marina. The guy in charge was so friendly and helpful which we have... More

We had a great few days in the studio apartment on the first floor. The beach is directly across the road and the views are magnificent - all round views of the bay and harbour entrance. The apartment was very clean and had all the amenities listed. Bed was very comfortable. Reception were very helpful and we would make this... More

We stayed in a ground floor studio (8th-15th Jan) with great views overlooking the beach. The studio was well-equipped with TV and DVD player, very clean and comfortable with a large comfortable bed and the kitchenette was adequate for our needs. The only drawback of the studio was that there was hardly any storage space for clothes etc for us... More

We loved our apartment. We got the ground floor 2 bedroom which perfect for 2 adults and 2 kids. We were directly across the road from the beach and the patio area had sliding doors that opened right up to take in the ocean view. Good bathroom with spa bath and seperate shower. Great space in the living area and... More

We were lucky enough to negotiate a good winter rate price for our two night stay in Whitianga. The location was great overlooking the beach front. We had 180 deg views from our large windows which ran across the whole front of motel. We had the top floor which was a pain for carrying cases because no elevator but other... More

Tried to book the "Special rate" studio on the ground floor for a 4 night stay but it was only available for 3 nights. The booking staff were very helpful and offered us the 2 bedroom apartment on the first floor for the 1st night at a very reasonable price if we were willing to move. We were and it... More
