Good check in, friendly person.
Room was spacious, furniture bit worn, new carpet.
There were ants in one bed, couldn't be bothered alerting manager, just hopped into another bed.
Large bathroom, shower needed seeing to, the head was loose.
Good outside area, was ok for a night, Expedia price was more expensive than motel price, not worth what we paid
Text to inform when the room could be occupied which was great as I’d arrived earlier
Staff member was really helpful and friendly
Loved the room
Would stay there anytime
We enjoyed our stay! We did a last minute booking & arrived about 4pm, our hosts had us organised in minutes!
Our room was very clean, the beds were comfortable & it was dark & quiet for a good nights sleep.
Thanks for having us🙂
We stayed in an Executive Suite - a very nice large apartment with 2 bedrooms. Plenty of space and it had everything we needed. Lovely walk along the river nearby. Short drive to Ohope Beach.
The staff were so friendly and helpful. Room was exceptionally clean and new towels each morning. Thank you so much for making my stay in Whakatane a wonderful easy time. No stress at all.

Amazing place. Friendly contactless check in. Great facilities. A fan in the room would be epic. Other than that will highly reccomend
The place was lovely, exceeding our expectations, we had stayed in a lot of places across Europe & this place is right up there! Friendly staff too! Highly recommended.
