10/10 Excellent

Wonderful place, could see the ocean from the room. I love that there was a kitchenette and a spot to sit and watch the tides come in and out. Its a walk away from everything in town. Quiet place, they were doing some renovations but we were out the entire time they were working and it didn't other us. On-site laundry, the host was lovely. And super helpful. We will be coming back to Whitianga!
