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.

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.

The batch is perfect and located at the back of property which makes it totally private. It has all the amenities needed including an oven, full sized fridge and a decent sized kitchen for cooking those gourmet breakfasts the wifey loves. Has everything in the kitchen you need. They supply coffee beans are supplied as noticed if ever curious. Cafes are a 2min drive up the and supermarket is less than 5mins from batch. The lost Spring Spa is close by. In other words everything is located so close by. Most of all beaches are lovely. Highly recommended and will be rebooking
