Great location for wife and 2 children who want to be near not in the middle of the action. Very close to beach with a nice view from balcony. Good value for money.
Great holiday base and host. Lots of thoughtful features to make our stay comfortable. Loved the location for beach access, views and easy access by car to shops and attractions. The pool and hot tub were big draw cards for our water loving family and did not disappoint, used daily. Kids did not want to leave and we’ll definitely be back.
Conveniently located just a few minutes drive from Whitianga town centre. Clean and well presented apartment in a quiet complex. The apartment is very spacious and has a well appointed kitchen. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
What a great place! Close to the beach, the pool and spa were fantastic. Close to shops. Wonderful and clean. Everything you need is at your fingertips. We will definitely, definitely be back!
Nice and clean and well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds and clean linen.Great pool for kids to playFriendly neighbourhood cat Nice place to stayNice view of beachClose drive to main town area
Lovely property, had everything we needed. Was a 30 second walk to the beach. Was great having the pool and spa on site. We would stay here again. Owners were responsive and really helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay!
What an incredible home! My partner, parents and I stayed here for Christmas and really enjoyed Vaughan’s home. Everything was perfect from location to facilities (including the BBQ for Xmas day).
Thanks for hosting us, Vaughan!
Awesome. Exactly as advertised. Cleanest rental I’ve ever stayed in. Vaughan was brilliant, easy communication and everything we needed for a vacation in the beautiful Coromandel
The unit was spacious and clean. Great location just a couple of km north of Whitianga township. It has all the amenities you could want for a family beach holiday. Far more than was required by my wife and I for a short stay.
We enjoyed our stay in this clean, tidy, well equiped home close to the beach in Whitianga. There is a nice community feel to the Auquasoleil complex, our kids enjoyed riding their scooters with other neighbourhood kids and loved the pool. It's a short drive into town.
Our family holiday was absolutely incredible thanks to Vaughan’s place. He communicated really well which made everything easy and the place is close to the beach and stream which was great for the hot weather. Beds were super comfy to. We then enjoyed the pool and spa on top of a day at the beach. Thank you for having us to stay.
The stay at Vaughan's place was amazing! My family and I enjoyed the well-mantained unit which had all your can only wish for on a holiday! The beach just a few steps aside and a pool next door made our days bright.
Special thanks for providing good advice on entertainment. The glass bottom boat trip was amazing!
We had a great stay at this apartment. Spacious enough for 5 of us. We really appreciate the well equipped kitchen. Vaughan was really friendly and accomodating. Lovely location, away from the hustle and bustle of "Whiti City" but only a short drive away if you want to eat out or top up your supplies. Just a short walk to the safe swimming beach just across the road if you don't feel like driving elsewhere. Great walks and sunrise from there too. Our children also really enjoyed the pool. Thanks Vaughan, we are hoping to be back again!
We stayed a week and used it as a base to look around. Very comfortable, handy to town and it had everything we needed. Beach was a short stroll away and there was a nice coffee cart 5 minutes away with lovely views across the bay.
Wonderful apartment, clean and spacious and had everything we needed (and extra bubbly perk). Loved that the Lost Spring Hot pools retreat is only a few minutes down the road. Thanks so much Vaughan for being an excellent host and the option for checking out later than usual.
Had a few moments of panic with the Stayz platform not reminding me about payments and needed my daughter to find my initial booking to figure out my balance and due date.
My host, Vaughan, was lovely and helped out with giving the key to a family member when we ran late with arrival. Found a welcome chilled bottle of bubbles to ease the travel pains. The property was immaculate and makes the most of Buffalo Beach’s views. Really close to shops, parks, coffee cart across the road and then there is the beach.
We had an under two year old in our family group and this property has a straight run of stairs between floors that gave us a good work out - another few months of balance on our tiny terror and it would have been fine.
