Great apartment in a great location. We spent 3 nights here and even though the Whitianga weather didn't co-operate, we still loved our stay. Of the places we stayed on this trip, this felt the most like home.

Great spot. So roomy. Walk to dinner. What’s not to love?
It was a wonderful place to take a break during our trip.
Being an apartment meant we could relax without being on our bed.
Our planned rest and laundry days were wonderful.
The apartment had everything we needed.
