Fantastic views. Owner contacted me prior to arrival to confirm ETA & organized a lock box with unit keys etc. Great service 👍 😄 ##### Jessica Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beverley 13 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best hotel of our entire NZ trip. Great location, right across from the beach. Within walking distance to stores and restaurants. Very friendly and accommodating hosts; they even provide shovels and beach towels. The best hotel of our entire NZ trip. ##### Beverley Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark 25 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed in the Northernmost upper floor suite, and it was amazingly great! Probably the best accommodations in the area. The large balcony overlooks the beach (30-sec walk), and just sitting and watching the continuous broad waves over and over was mesmerizing. WiFi was good (better than many others in NZ), and the hosts, who live on-site, were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good too. We stayed for much of a week, and would return in a heartbeat! ##### Mark ### 8/10 Good #### Leigh and Duncan 11 Oct 2024 Liked: Staff & service The property is in such a perfect location. Easy walking distance to town and right across the road from the beach. The unit was clean but dated. Would have loved a big comfy couch to be able to sit and relax in after a big day. ##### Leigh and Duncan Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Douglas 26 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Home away from home. Returning is like coming home. A base where I can be comfortable while spending time with family, meals out, shopping and walking. ##### Douglas Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Cheryl 18 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We were upgraded to a ground floor ocean view unit. While we appreciated the extra space, we found the lack of seating in the lounge area inconvenient. While there were two extra beds in the lounge area (for families we assume), there was no comfortable seating for watching tv. The two chairs in the room were just too low, especially for older people. ##### Cheryl Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eve 29 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Older property, you can see it is well looked after though and thought has gone into minor details/amenities. It was very clean and today inside and out ##### Eve Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steffi 10 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Awesome spot! Down for the night so partner could join a fishing charter next day. This is my go to place when in Whitianga. The owners are great, so helpfull. You cant beat the location or the sunrise view! Thanks so much! see you next time :) ##### Steffi Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian 17 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities If you like long walks along the beach, then this is literally the hotel for you. Close enough to make the wharf and downtown walkable (about 15-20 minutes depending on your speed), but far enough to not be in the middle of it all. Oh and the view of the Mercury Bay and beyond is perfection for relaxing with your morning coffee (especially if it rains on the bay - the rainbows are quite something). ##### Ian Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Tony 15 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was clean and the service always courteous. ##### Tony Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vijayanta 22 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities All around an excellent experience ##### Vijayanta Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Xiong 24 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Newly renovated rooms & lots clean towels; everything is functional ##### Xiong Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa 22 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities What a great place to stay, lovely and clean and the view was amazing ##### Lisa Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lia 20 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing view, great staff & room was clean & modern ##### Lia Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Falcons Nest](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cromwell-Hotels-Falcons-Nest.h31053004.Hotel-Information) > > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Belek](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belek-Serik-Hotels-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-n6034717-0-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Sands Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Omapere-Hotels-The-Heads-Hokianga.h1217506.Hotel-Information) > > [Kelly Rd Cambridge Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Kelly-Rd-Cambridge-Lodge.h17679551.Hotel-Information) > > [Scenic Hotel Punakaiki](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Greymouth-Hotels-Punakaiki-Resort.h982476.Hotel-Information) > > [Anglers paradise and great family holiday place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarora-Hotels-Anglers-Paradise-And-Great-Family-Holiday-Place.h37278832.Hotel-Information) > > [Copthorne Hotel Greymouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Greymouth-Hotels-Kingsgate-Hotel-Greymouth.h12933.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Hilton-Queenstown-Resort-Spa.h4268206.Hotel-Information) > > [Hahei Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hahei-Hotels-Hahei-Holiday-Resort.h9869496.Hotel-Information) > > [The Amberley Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amberley-Hotels-The-Amberley-Hotel.h83782595.Hotel-Information) > > [Porters Boutique Hotel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Havelock-North-Hotels-Porters-Boutique-Hotel.h15965962.Hotel-Information) > > [Treetops Lodge & Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Treetops-Lodge-Estate.h912953.Hotel-Information) > > [Hidden Lake Hotel and Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Hidden-Lake-Hotel-And-Apartments.h29081973.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Queenstown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Queenstown.h4412246.Hotel-Information) > > [Cardrona Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Cardrona-Hotel.h9629768.Hotel-Information) > > [Kinloch Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Kinloch-Wilderness-Retreat.h3848386.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Ridge Studios and Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Te-Anau-Hotels-Blue-Ridge-Boutique-Bed-Breakfast.h9625233.Hotel-Information) > > [Te Anau Lakeview Holiday Park & Motels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Te-Anau-Hotels-Te-Anau-Lakeview-Kiwi-Holiday-Park-Motels.h4192650.Hotel-Information) > > [The Barn Cabins & Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marahau-Hotels-The-Barn-Cabins-Camping.h15886153.Hotel-Information) > > [Distinction Heritage Gateway Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Omarama-Hotels-Heritage-Gateway-Hotel.h519242.Hotel-Information) > > [Millbrook Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Millbrook-Resort.h584862.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > > [Parkview Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/National-Park-Village-Hotels-Parkview-Apartments.h32421560.Hotel-Information) > > [Waitomo Caves Guest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Waitomo-Caves-Hotels-Waitomo-Caves-Guest-Lodge.h16121337.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada Resort By Wyndham Rotorua Marama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ramada-Resort-By-Wyndham-Rotorua-Marama.h3512184.Hotel-Information) > > [The Duke of Marlborough Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Russell-Hotels-The-Duke-Of-Marlborough-Hotel.h1038082.Hotel-Information) ### Activities ---
