We were unable to get into Whitianga because the roads were flooded and the hotel insisted on charging us even though the whole town was an island and no one could get in or out.

Well located accommodation close to beach, shops and dining. We enjoyed the heated outdoor pool, tennis court & small playground. Rooms have all essential amenities. Staff very friendly and helpful. Only downside was no aircon - it was very warm the 2 nights we stayed.

The queen bed was very uncomfortable, I had a rather sleepless night tossing and turning constantly trying to get comfortable. The pillows were no better all being very thick with no thinner options provided, tv only seemed to work with episodes on tvnz but movies would cut out constantly. Couldn’t connect my Disney account or Netflix. Room was so hot!! No aircon. Overall I didn’t feel it was worth what I paid for the night, definitely won’t stay there again.
