Lovely and clean, very comfy beds, lovely bowl or fruit for us and water bottles in the fridge which was nice and appreciated. Christine and Peter were fantastic, lovely people. Location is top drawer, very easy flat walk to the restaurants and cafes, and to the wharf and marina area.

What a lovely little gem! So glad I found this place. Has everything you need, is quaint, clean and in a great spot walking distance to both shops and the harbor. Wonderful and welcoming hosts. Highly recommend this place, was perfect for my stay at Whitianga.
Christine and Peter are awesome, kind and courteous hosts. The place is immaculately clean with all the necessary amenities. Beds are comfortable and it is a quiet environment. Walking distance to town, ferry, restaurants. We had a wonderful stay.
A perfect 2 days in Whitianga. The location and vibe of the bach was spot on for our family holiday. Loved our hosts - they were super friendly and provided great recommendations for places to visit and dine in the local area. Highly recommend! Should have stayed longer!
This was a great little spot for our 4 nights in Whitianga. Clean, well equipped little kitchen and close enough to explore town and the foreshore on foot. Kids (4 and 7 y/o) loved the upstairs bedroom. Thanks for the lovely stay Christine.
Located on the owners property. Walkable to everything in town and the beach. Owners are lovely to visit with and have lots of info on the area. Very quiet neighbourhood. We should have stayed longer!

Great cosy Bach very close to harbour with incredibly friendly, informative and helpful hosts, Peter and Christine who my kids loved. Gave us a taste of life in beautiful Whitianga and the coramandel peninsula. Were so sad to leave the place and our new friends….
Stayed 2 days with Christine and Peter- also met some of the family! Entirely lovely people. The unit in the back of the property was clean, well appointed and truly convenient to all the wonderful things Whitianga has to offer.
Christine and Peter were fantastic hosts and very welcoming. Their garage suited was perfect for our Family (2 kids). The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, the washroom was clean and well equipped, kids loved the upstairs sleeping arrangements. Location was great, few minutes walk to the wharf and restaurants. Thank you Christine and Peter! We will be happy to visit in the future!

Peter and Christine who run the property were just the most helpful and lovely people.
On the morning we left our car had a flat battery and they went out of their way (in torential rain) to help us.
The property is within walking distance of the town.
There is so much to do in and around Whitianga and Christine and peter gave us such helpful information.
It was a wonderful weekend. Christine is very caring and considerate. You feel like home in such a cozy place. There is everything you need. The place is located in 5 minutes walk from marina, so you can leave your car and enjoy long evening walks around.
We (family of four) spent Waitangi holiday at the place for 3 days/two nights and enjoyed our stay. Close proximity to beach and local amenities (cafes/shops etc.). Lovely hosts.
Would get back again.
Myself and a few others had an unforgettable stay at this gorgeous cottage with the amazing location in the heart of whitianga. We were blown away by the friendly, welcoming hosts who went out of their way to make our stay nice and comfortable. It has great cooking facilities which catered to all our needs. Although we were mostly out and about it was nice to return to a homely environment after a long day. Definitely recommend and will be back to stay again!!
Sensational. Highly recommended . Christine & Peter welcomed us into their family. Highly recommend
The only place to stay in Whitianga. Highly Recommended.
