Perfect home!

We had an awesome stay at this home in Whitianga, would highly recommend! We had 2 families of 4, the 4 kids aged 14-16, heaps of space and the garage amenities and spa were awesome for all. Plenty of kitchen equipment supplied which makes life way easier with a large group. Plenty of towels supplied for all. Nice easy walk to/from town and the beach. There is a pool pictured but no longer there.

Whitianga week

Location of house was great. Short walk to beach which was a great area for all the family to swim. House was well equipped but one of the showers was not able to be used. The hot water service broke down and although it was fixed we were without hot water for two days. There were lots of things to keep us all amused at the house, spa, pool table, table tennis and lots of beach equipment. Owners were easy to commumicate with.

Very well appointed house although there were no bikes and no pool although these were advertised. The lack of wi-fi was an issue, especially when the manager says it is because he wants you to have a device free weekend! I prefer to make my own decisions regarding how I spend my time. This is top priced accommodation with no Sky and no wi-fi. Other than that and the missing pool, I could not fault it.

A Whiti getaway with all the equipment

My friends and I had a great time at Travis’ property this summer. The house was full of great equipment for adventures to the beach and the spa was a nice way to unwind. We wish we’d noticed that the property didn’t have WIFI before arrival, this would have been a great addition to the Bach features. All in all we would definitely go back!

Awesome Property and Location

If I decide to go to Whitianga again I would definitely book this property again, The manager was great with communication, clear with access instructions, and the house was exactly what was pictured. The spa was awesome though you do need to turn on when you arrive as does take some time to warm up. Great location, close to the beach and a 5 min drive (we were being lazy) to the cafes! Highly recommend.
