Fantastic holiday house

We had a fantastic time in the house. Whitianga is a super charming town, close to many beautiful beaches, and the cottage is in a great location within walking distance of the town center. It was clean, and everything was provided. Lovely garden and cozy seating areas. Excellent value for money. We enjoyed it so much, thank you!

Whitianga mini break

Had a lovely stay at the bach. Was a really lovely place and quite central to everything. Our only minor negative comment would be the mattresses in a couple of the bedrooms were really uncomfortable and more games or kayaks would be a great addition. Thank you. We really recommend the bach.

Fantastic Week In Whitianga

We have just had the best week stay at this bach, in fact it’s more like a home away from home, everything you would need is there and it is immaculately clean and tidy. We have a boat and there was ample off street parking for our boat and ute. Robinson Road Boat Ramp is just around the corner probably a one minute drive which made launching so easy. The owner Alison has been so friendly and accommodating that we are already planning our next holiday, thank you again for a wonderful week.
