Whitianga cottage

This is the second time we have stayed at the cottage which is spotlessly clean, comfortable bed, good bathroom and kitchen. It is well equipped with thoughtful touches. It is handy to the estuary and the town centre of Whitianga and in a quiet location. We would book again.

Cute Bach

A cute wee bach with everything we needed in a quiet spot and an easy process to deal with Grant about arrival details etc. We enjoyed our stay in Whitianga and appreciated that we were within walking distance of the township, beach etc.

Comfy place in a handy situation

We enjoyed our time in this little Whitianga bach. It’s handy to town and amenities, and has a (mostly) quiet setting. (A Saturday rugby game made a bit of noise, but luckily we’re rugby fans 😉). The facilities were just what we needed for a 3 day stay in this great town.

Whitianga Ideal Little Holiday Home

Though I say little it is quite spacious for one or two maybe three people with sep. dle . bedroom, lounge that has a comfortable couch that turns into double bed, kitchen with breakfast bar and large bath room with a great shower And surrounding this a great pagoda/deck to enjoy the sun And walking distance shops etc yet still private I reccommend this 100%

Birthday occasion

We had a comfortable stay. Only thing that annoyed my husband is that he couldn’t sleep while I sat in the lounge watching tv. The sound travelled over the open wall. (I had it down low too) other than that it was a very comfortable and cosy stay.
