About this property
Quiet little batch just 5min walk from shops
Set back one section from the road, this newly renovated batch offers a quiet beach side retreat. Just a 5 minute walk to the township of Whitianga with its abundance of cafes and restaurants and 10 minutes walk to the beach, ferry and banana boat, you'll find plenty to do, or simply stay in and relax with an on site massage (bookings required). If your feeling energetic, walk across the road to the free tennis courts and sports ground.
