Whitianga cottage

This is the second time we have stayed at the cottage which is spotlessly clean, comfortable bed, good bathroom and kitchen. It is well equipped with thoughtful touches. It is handy to the estuary and the town centre of Whitianga and in a quiet location. We would book again.

Das kleine Ferienhäuschen war wunderbar gemütlich sehr schön und persönlich eingerichtet. Die Küche und das Badezimmer waren dehr grosszügig. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt. Ein wunderschöner kleiner Garten mit Terrasse/Veranda war das i-Tüpfelchen. Wir können das Häuschen nur empfehlen. Die Kommunikation mit Grant war hervorragend.

Cute Bach

A cute wee bach with everything we needed in a quiet spot and an easy process to deal with Grant about arrival details etc. We enjoyed our stay in Whitianga and appreciated that we were within walking distance of the township, beach etc.

The batch is perfect and located at the back of property which makes it totally private. It has all the amenities needed including an oven, full sized fridge and a decent sized kitchen for cooking those gourmet breakfasts the wifey loves. Has everything in the kitchen you need. They supply coffee beans are supplied as noticed if ever curious. Cafes are a 2min drive up the and supermarket is less than 5mins from batch. The lost Spring Spa is close by. In other words everything is located so close by. Most of all beaches are lovely. Highly recommended and will be rebooking
