This stay had a little of everything from a plumbing issue and issues with the TV reception to a fantastic location and absolutely wonderful meals (dinner and breakfast). At the time we visited, the owners were away and there was a substitute manager. She tried to correct the plumbing issue without success. The location was great allowing us nice walks... More

It was further east than I expected. We didn't arrive til rght on dusk but unpacked and were very comfortable for the night. Enjoyed a lovely walk along the beach before heading east after breakfast. One small problem with the shower plumbing not draining but host let us shower upstairs in her home. More

This area was one of the most scenic and least crowded places we visited. We loved it. However, there are few tourist facilities. Take your food and other necessities with you. The unit was not luxurious, but it was very clean and well furnished. Let Jan cook for you as much as she will! She’s a better cook than you... More

Recently had the pleasure of staying at Oceanside Apartments. I stayed in a two bedroom unit and the view outside to the beach across the road was just so relaxing I could have stayed there for quite some time. The owners greeted me with genuine pleasure and their friendly dog completed the welcoming party. My unit was light, fresh, clean,... More

Oceanside Apartments was the first stop-over on our trip round the East Coast and what a fantastic choice. Very comfortable, spacious, and exceptionaly clean and the hospitality was wonderful. Jan cooked a beautiful seafood meal so all in all, a great stop which we would highly recommend. Both she and Barry made us feel extremely welcome. More

The weather turned for the worse but the food and hospitality were exceptional. We are sorry that we were unable to dive or fish due to... More

I have just spent 5 great days at Oceanside Apartments, in beautiful tranquil Waihau Bay. The experience was great and I highly recommend the location and hosts Barry and Jan. I was fortunate to charter Barry and his Boat for two days and caught an abundance of fish - groper, snapper, teraki, Kingfish & Cod, (80 large fish over the... More
