What an amazing location, deep in the bush, overlooking a river at the bottom of the ravine. The hosts, Debbie and Ernst, were friendly and helpful. The home-made bread and honey from the bees in the back garden were absolutely delicious. Room and bathroom were spacious and comfortable. Drive to Whitianga was just over 15 minutes, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds, forest and sea.

Featuring direct beach access, this resort has a barbecue area overlooking the ocean. Each self-contained apartment includes a private balcony or patio. Many apartments also have stunning ocean views and outdoor furniture.

We stayed on the top floor in an apartment facing the ocean. I think it was number 8. It was perfect. We could cook our own meals in the well equipped full kitchen. It was well laid out to sleep a family of 4 and the beds were comfortable. We slept so well because of the black out blinds and lapping ocean just outside, My 22 year old daughter enjoyed using the trampoline and we both enjoyed the hot tub and having our meals on our balcony overlooking the beautiful view, The hosts were also lovely and very helpful with suggestions as to things to do. it was well located to walk and drive to different sites to visit in the surrounding areas. A nice bonus is it also had Netflix to relax at night with a movie, Because of the lack of noise and light pollution, star gazing was at its best. I would highly recommend this property.

    Very warm and welcoming hospitality by both David and Beverly. Yummy breakfast with bread, meat, eggs, fruits, juices and yoghurt. All rooms were clean and smelled fresh everywhere. Had great fun time at spa tub. Beautiful big backyard with path takes to view point but unfortunately couldn’t do that with our 2 little kids. Will definitely refer my family and friends as its best and affordable place to stay.

    First time in Whitianga & staying at a holiday park. It was great! Our children loved the pool, the park and the short walk into town. Our cabin was the perfect size for us and we can’t wait to do it again! We’re planning a big trip with the rest of our family too.

    The cottage was very clean & comfortable, perfect for our family with 5 kids. The kids loved being upstairs & the pool was a bonus & perfect for downtime. Our host Amanda was great, evn bought over scooters to add to the kids fun. The cottage was close to the beach, cafes & restaurants. Museum was great & a cute movie theater in the township.
