We had a party of 16 people, ages ranging from 7 to 85, the house was excellent for us all, beds were comfortable and was a plus to have so many toilets and showers. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of crockery, cutlery, pots etc. Great spot being so close to town and beaches. No problem with booking and Melanie was extremely helpful and accomodating. Awesome place I would definitely go there again.

Great location, great for large groups

We had a family gathering for our mother's 80th birthday and the property was awesome in terms of location and catering to a large group. The host was lovely, great communication and the property was very clean and very well stocked in terms of items needed to prepare, serve food and seat a large group. There was also plenty of extra blankets. The property also had different spaces people could hang out, a coffee was a very short walk away.together

Great location

I knew the property was in town, but I didn't realize how good the location would be! Wandering distance from everything, coffee, supermarket, lost springs, ferry. It was an ideal property for a group of friends hanging out for the weekend. And they went above and beyond to return a forgotten item to us, much appreciated. I would book again without hesitation.

The house was as listed but we felt the interior needed an upgrade Most of the furniture and bedding was obviously used during its back packer era And the ensuite attached to the bedroom at the back of the house needed a lot attention The kitchen was great for a crowd We had an enjoyable time

Whitianga Property review

Great location. Overall we had a fabulous 4 days. The property is looking old. It was hot throughout the stay but there was no air conditioning (Fans, throughout; Some worked, some partially and some noisey). Some showers OK but a couple not so good. Price a little high but it was Whitiangi week.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Feb, 2025
Thanks for letting me know about the fans, I will check that out and replace the noisy ones. The house is a beach bach and is set up for large numbers, including pets, which is why you could bring your dog. Pets would not be allowed in a modern beach home. I will check out the showers too, there are five of them.

Family get together

Bedroom storage for clothing limited to non existing . Basic bathroom items such as, shower soap and toiletry holder, hooks in some bathroom areas for towel etc missing, everything had to go on the floor . Other than that we had an enjoyable stay, kitchen well stocked and dining, lounge areas comfortable,very handy to beach, and shops,ideal for large group.

Hi Kathleen Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it. We will look at making some upgrades to the bathroom areas. We don't supply soap etc as it's not hygenic but hooks etc we can sort - thanks again.

Perfect for a large group

We stayed in winter and the house is very warm with bar heaters in the lounge and in the kitchen. Am extremely well stocked kitchen perfect for cooking/bbq. Coffee plungers are there just bring your own plunger grind coffee. Electric frying pan was perfect for dinner and pancake breakfast. Plenty of beds and breakout spaces for all. Lots of separate showers and toilets. Towels/linen/extra blankets all provided and all lovely. Very homely! We were all so cozy and warm. Thank you Melanie for having us in your wonderful home. We hope to be back. This is definitely the best pick for our group!

Lots of rooms but not enough towels

We chose the property because of the number of bedrooms available as well as having space for being together. The location was good, being within easy walking distance of shops and cafes. We thought that it could have been cleaner (there were ants on the dining table until we washed the table cloth) and the wiring to the sleepout looked a bit dodgy and the low water pressure there meant a disappointing shower. We were disappointed that despite booking for 7 people only 6 towels were supplied and there was no response from the owner to a message requesting another. The beds were mostly comfortable however one of the single beds was exceptionally squeaky and the bottom bunk in the same room was also squeaky. Possibly ok for kids but not for an adult. Lack of hooks for hanging clothes in some rooms was annoying. On the other hand the large supply of glasses, cups, crockery and cutlery meant not having to wash up constantly and having a dishwasher and washing machine was great. There were fans in every room and a couple of heaters in the kitchen and living room for cold weather.

Wow dont let the pictures full you. Just go you'll be surprised when u get there. Didnt expect how homey this place felt, every thing was fully equipped, huge place, my family didnt want to leave. Awesome for a big group just a few minute work to town. I will book this again except I'll leave the big speaker at home. All I can say is you'll enjoy this property. We know we did.
