Great host, perfect location
Michelle was very lovely and a warm welcome. Her place is stunning with the views overlooking the water and the best location to be. Everything was just a stroll away. She also allowed our 11 month old, soon to turn 1 that weekend to stay as well which was awesome!
Would return again!

Best accommodation in Whakatane
Wonderful, friendly hostess who went the extra mile to ensure our stay was memorable. Beautiful location overlooking the river, handy to all amenities with a top restaurant on the ground floor. Spacious, airy apartment had everything you needed with super comfortable bed and living areas, well equipped kitchen and laundry facilities and lots of extras - books, puzzles, even some home baking and snacks. Our favourite place to stay and can't wait to return. Excellent value for money.

Shelly is a great host, the property is beautiful and everything that you could want is included,
The only thing is that the place needs air conditioning, you can open windows and get airflow, but the outside noise is very loud
The place is beautiful and so well located and AC would make it a 6 stars place to stay
We couldn’t sleep well at night because it was too hot
Sorry I wanted so badly to give her 5 stars as she is awesome, but we couldn’t sleep well at all

Review
The property was excellent. Easily the best we have stayed in. But we will not use Book a Bach again. The process of booking was difficult if not nearly impossible for us oldsters. We were on the point of giving up when the 7th or 8th try we finally got the booking done.

Peaceful home from home
This is an amazing apartment that we cannot recommend highly enough. Shelly is a great host so all in all it’s a winner. The apartment is huge running the depth of the building from the kitchen past a huge dining table to the double sofa living space and out to the spacious balcony. The front bedroom and living room both have panoramic views of the river front and beyond to the sea. The kitchen is fully equipped with nice touches such as cooking oil and other provisions in the fridge. There are two bathrooms and laundry facilities too.
The location is perfect being a few steps from the Strand and White Island Tours
We loved our stay and thank you for providing such a lovely home

Waru was a wonderful apartment with an amazing view from the balcony . It was clean and very spacious. A minute walk from shops, cafes and restaurant located directly underneath. Shelly’s hospitality is unmatched, a full tour of Waru and great communication throughout. What a wonderful host and a stunning apartment. We will definitely be back. Thank you Shelly and Grant!

Perfect Stay
As the star ratings suggest at all 5 star, this was an outstanding property and it would be extremely hard to find anything to dislike.
We were met by Shelley on checkin and shown what was what and received very clear and helpful advice as to how the apartment was set up and facilities on offer.
The apartment is finished to an extremely high level of finish and decor along with very comfortable furnishings and beds etc. The home made cakes and biscuits were great and a very nice welcoming touch.
This apartment is so good we will be recommending this to any of our family who may also visit NZ/Whakatane.
Thanks again to Shelley for the experience.

Relaxing in the heart of Whakatane
If you are looking for a place that has it all WARU is the place. Amazing view of White Island and the convenience of local restaurants only a short stroll away. WARU has all the comforts of home and more.
A secured car park was a bonus.
Highly recommend WARU if you are visiting Whakatane and will definitely be back.

I was born and have lived in the Eastern Bay of Plenty almost all my life. My mother is Maori and my father is from Jersey. I have lived in Edgecumbe which is a 20 minute drive west from Whakatane for over 30 years and where both my husband Grant and I went to school. We love living here.
We have a daughter and a son and also two mokopuna (grandchildren). We are both teachers. I manage WARU with assistance from Grant when needed & we also do the cleaning.
WARU is a dream come true for us. I enjoy meeting our guests and letting them know about the many and varied attractions and activities the Eastern Bay has to offer.
Our life motto - Attitude to gratitude, Choose to be happy and in control, Live in the present.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
WARU delivers on all aspects, location, views, comfort, attention to detail, privacy and security.
My intention is to provide guests with a warm and friendly welcome so that they leave WARU having thoroughly enjoyed their stay and with wonderful memories of Whakatane and the Eastern Bay to take away with them. We are open to any suggestions guests have to improve their stay
この宿泊施設の特徴
The views are amazing, whether you are into water or bush views you will not be disappointed. Bird watchers will be delighted with the abundant bird activity. Sitting on the balcony watching the everchanging views of the river due to the incoming and outgoing tides is a lovely way to relax and recharge.
At over 100m2 there is a lot of space for you to enjoy, whether you are on your own, as a couple or family, or group of four.
Being able to walk within minutes to cafes, restaurants, shops and CBD is really convenient. It allows freedom for guests to please themselves when and where they go. No need to take the car. If you have small children then the walk along the river either way will take you to impressive children's playgrounds where parents can sit and supervise and enjoy what many locals consider to be our slice of paradise. There is also a skatepark and places where you can fish from the wharf. If you enjoy stand up paddle boarding there is a small landing near the iSite where you can launch from.
Two lookouts visible from the kitchen and second bedroom are only a short walk away and well worth the effort.
