The property is complete value for money. These are 6 appartments all with one queen and 2 single beds. Perfect for small families. Its right at the beach and the backyard is very well maintained with a trampoline and a spa tub & a barbecue area. We stayed 2 nights and have no complaints at all. The morning views were priceless.

It was very clean and well laid out. Looked modern and welcoming, and very spacious. We arrived late, but because we arranged ahead we were able to self check in. The courtyard overlooking the beach is also very nice. The WiFi works well and they also have Netflix which we watched in the evenings. The shower gel provided smells amazing too! My only small complaint is that the room was incredibly hot. Although there's a mini tower fan, it just moves the hot air around. We were on the ground floor so we were able to leave the sliding door open to cool the room down a bit, but at night it was hard to sleep. Also, the soundproofing between the ground and first floor could also be better, as we could hear some actual words from the upstairs guests. On the whole, this seems like a great property for families coming to Whitianga for a beach holiday, but would be awesome for couples if the rooms were more soundproof and had aircon.
