Best Whitianga Hotels

We stayed at the Esplanade Apartments for two nights (2 adults, 2 kids). We found everything to be excellent. Room was very clean, service was fantastic- staff were very friendly and helpful, view from our window was spectacular, it was conveniently located above a pub and across the road from an incredible park for the kids. Couldn’t fault it at all. Thanks for our wonderful stay- we were sad to leave but will be back again!

Stayed for 4 nights, Friendly staff and good family room with lots of amenities. great to have NetFlix for the kids to watch at night. Daniel made some excellent recommendations for supper we particularly enjoyed the coffee and curry place. We would definitely stay there again when we are heading back up as across the road to the beach and short walk to shops and restaurants. The only down point was no air con and with the heat at 29 the fans didn't cool the room down enough.

We were met by the host who was lovely and welcoming. The rooms were larger than expected and had everything we needed. The motel is an easy walk into town. We even had a small private deck that caught the afternoon sun. The heater warmed up the unit quickly, plus we were off the road front so found the unit nice and quiet. Ample parking. Would definitely stay again.

Note that the room type is not a villa. Each house is an independent entry and exit of the two houses upstairs. If the room for you is upstairs, there is a terrace. If it is assigned downstairs, there is a lawn without a balcony. . The view of the yacht in our three-bedroom and one-bedroom balcony is the biggest highlight. There are two rooms in the three rooms and the living room facing the harbor. One room is facing the community. Everything in the room is good. The shower is very hot and the water is hot. This is good, the kitchen is big enough for you to cook and eat. It feels that each house has a different owner, and it is given to the management company for unified renting. The curtains in the bedroom are curtain-type, and there are gaps between the two. In the evening, the light is shining through the outside. At 6 o'clock in the morning, it starts to see through the sun. If it is not a good sleep, it should be difficult to sleep more than eight. There is nothing to play in the community, there is no place for a walk. The service is basically called no, except to get a key. Also please note that this two points will never let you stay in advance! There are two big supermarkets not far from driving, but there is not much to watch and play in the whole town.

Oceans Resort Whitianga was perfect for a relaxing three-night stay. The apartment, complete with washer/dryer and fully-equipped kitchen, was a welcome change from formal hotels. It was great to be able to casually plan our own meals, and a small grocery store was conveniently located just around the corner. A scenic cruise of Mercury Bay and the Marine Reserve was on our to-do list, and the boat docks were only a short walk down the beach. The Resort Manager and housekeeping staff were incredible. After our first night, there was a problem with the TV in the living room. When the Resort Manager came the next day to assist, she found a potential electrical issue and insisted that we move to a different apartment. After looking at several unoccupied units, we just moved to a similar one right next door. They are independently owned condos, so are naturally all different. Our new apartment was much nicer with better furnishings, tasteful color selections and decor, etc. We certainly appreciated being able to change from Apartment 6 to Apartment 7.

This place is a gem. We could have stayed days if we were able to. Fresh, loved, clean and amazing sea views. If you choose this place for a stay try for a ground floor unit and you will have chosen wisely. Walk to main centre and seafront. Good value for money. Very comfy and friendly staff.

My wife and I stayed for 1 night (Wish we would have stayed longer) and throughly enjoyed our accommodations and getting to know Warren. Everything you could need was provided in the unit. We regret the property is for sale but know retirement is a Great thing and wish Warren and Robyn the best. Mam and Albert
