Stunning holiday home close to beach

Nestled in Piripai, Apanui House provides a home away from home. With quality furnishings and tasteful decorating, the house is big enough to provide that all needed space for families to enjoy. The decadent sun drenching deck will allow you to sit back and relax the day away or enjoy a lovely evening bbq with friends and family. The large backyard will provide space for the kids to stretch out and enjoy kicking a ball around the fully fenced property.

Far enough away from the hustle and bustle of town, the house is still close enough to the beaches, shopping Hub and town. A quick drive in the car will get you to most of the great activities available in sunny Whakatane including live volcanoes, native forests, white sand beaches, tasty fish, cultural areas and friendly people. All of New Zealand in one package.

A great place for families, professionals and anyone who wants to be in Whakatane.

Do not recommend

Checked in and the house was an absolute mess from the previous guest’s the night before. Unmade beds, used towels, bins full, floor was horrendous. Cleaner eventually came so our check in time was later then it should have been. It still wasn’t up to cleaning standards. Barely vacuumed and didn't mop, blood stained blanket in one room, the list could go on. The house has potential but unfortunately its like theres no care in the world. Disappointed with our stay. 1/10 do not recommend.

Whakatane

A great, spacious house with very comfortable beds and presented very well. Has generous parking and a big section. The house is on a very busy 80km road and the road noise starts from about 6.30am until late evening. Other than that, a great place to stay.

Lots of space for kids, especially for games in the large backyard. A bit far from the beach and town. Clean and spacious house. We missed not having a coffee plunger.
