"We've stayed at whakatane riverside holiday park a few times, but the cleanliness of this cabin was pretty poor, Cobb webbs and dust and looks dated."
"We loved our stay.
Everything you needed, warm, spacious, quiet, convenient and my czn is still dreaming about the shower pressure 👍
I was looking for the electric blanket on the bed to find that there wasn't one .. being in the middle of winter!
To my surprise I found that what was on the bed was more than ample and there was a spare blanket in the draw.
Have stayed in several other motels there but will definitely return to the Pacific Coast motel when in town."
