Ideallic location with best views

For our family of 4 including a 2 year old, this was the best place to stay. Comfy beds, plenty of bathrooms, best hot tub to end the day with gorgeous views, short walking distance to downtown or to the beach… we enjoyed every minute. Hosts were communicative and kind. Thank you for an amazing stay!

Our stay at Pacific Ocean Heights was just lovely. Beautifully presented, comfortable and outstanding views! The accommodation is spacious with many indoor spaces for a family to enjoy inside. The outside is real treat with never ending views and lovely sun drenched terrace, perfect for the spring sunshine! We also enjoyed time together in the hot tub. We would love to visit again!

Had a lovely time staying at this property. Owner was warm and helpful, and property was exactly as listed. We had a nice welcome card and chocolates as well. I highly recommend this place as a stop along the windy coastal journey of NZ. Five stars!

Fab View and Home

Beautiful Home, fab view. Shame one dishwasher wasn't working but we managed. No shortage of crockery and kitchen stuff. Lucky it was fine weather to get the washing dry as no dryer.Overall very enjoyable and we would definitely return.

Thank you Brenda, the house was left clean and tidy, appreciated it. The dish drawer was working some body pushed the lock button, all that had to be done was reset it, but good that there was another dish drawer. There is a clothes rack that dries clothes very quickly, it says in the amenities there no dryer .

Thank goodness!

My siblings and family were desperate for this get away and Pacific Heights did not disappoint. We all kept marvelling how perfect the place was - the view was out of this world and thank goodness for the fire and plentiful supply of firewood. Kitchen big enough for several of us to be working together, and the twin sink and dish drawers made it all so easy. The beds were all so comfy and great showers. Turning into the driveway is a bit of a trick until we learned to approach by coming up the hill from the city. We all loved it and will be back. Thanks Pacific Heights, Whakatane.

Wonderful

Wir haben das schöne Haus eine Woche lang genießen dürfen. Es ist sehr schön eingerichtet und entspricht genau der Beschreibung von Lorraine. Den Weg in die Stadt haben wir immer per Auto bewältigt. Die Stadt hat alles was man benötigt. Wir haben schöne Restaurants gefunden für ein Abendessen und die Einkaufsmöglichkeiten waren auch mehr als vorhanden. Wir können das Haus absolut empfehlen und möchten uns hiermit nochmals bei Lorraine für die nette Kommunikation bedanken.
