Independent in Wharekaho from NZ$89

"The room was clean and well appointed. It is right on a very nice beach, on a beautiful property. Unfortunately, the bed was incredibly uncomfortable, it seems the mattresses are in need of replacement."

"It was a beautiful place. My grandson loved the place. Would recommend this place "

"Loved staying here, unbeatable view and location!! Property was clean and tidy and had all we needed for our stay."

"Office staff were super friendly and awesome. Would’ve missed out on the hot water beach, at night, if it wasn’t for their help. Great place to stay. Would stay again if back in this area."

"Very friendly, informative and helpful host. We stayed at 4 Buffalo Beach road (there is a sister property at 13, a short walk away). Right on the beach road (you only have to walk up the driveway to see the beach). We stayed in Unit 11: a lovely ground floor studio with combined lounge area and kitchenette (sofa and TV, coffee table, dining table and two chairs). Fridge, microwave, 2 ring hob, electric frying pan, toaster, kettle, crockery, cutlery, utensils, etc Separate bedroom with good sized comfortable bed, with TV. Separate shower room with toilet. Everything very clean, in very good condition. We used the laundry at No. 13, hanging the washing out to dry on the line at No. 4. We were offered beach towels and a mini shovel - which we used at Hot Water Beach. Plenty of choice of TV channels. Parking right outside our unit. Within easy walking distance of the town centre and the passenger ferry/wharf - from where a number of boat tours depart. We really enjoyed our stay at the Blue Marlin "

"Nice and quiet "

"Good size room"

"This is a great spot - a two minute walk to the water or a two minute drive to anything you need in the way of dining, stores, or services on mainstreet Whitianga or a little further around the block to bigger supermarkets and so on. Clean, warm, cosy, with offstreet parking. Kitchen/laundry/games/books/TV/wifi all equipped. Great comms and easy check-in/out. "

"Spacious, comfortable motel accommodation in good location for access to the town and surrounding tourist attractions. "
