The room was spacious, well equipped and clean, but the location and views couldn't be beat !! Being able to simply step outside and walk the beach, or enjoy a glass of wine overlooking the bay was just what we needed. Only wish we had planned to stay longer !

Room was very clean everything worked as it was designed to work. Beach front with a great beach. The lady working there was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. They had spades to use at hot water beach and kayaks for the surf. 👍👍

Great place
It was our 1st visit to this part of NZ. We were very pleasantly surprised how nice Whitianga was. The longer we stayed, we were wishing we could stay longer.
Our host and accommodation were excellent.

Would highly recommended Beachfront Resort. It is right on the beach and the sunrise/sunset is beautiful. The property and room are clean and well kept. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely book here again next time we are in New Zealand.
An absolute oasis, I only wish that I could have stayed longer!
Clean, peaceful, a great location, and so many thoughtful details, eg a foot bath outside each unit to clean sand off feet, paper towels in the kitchen (I am always needing these!), and a veritable library of books in one of the cupboards in my unit. Not just a random book that the previous guest had left behind, but several books covering multiple interests and genres ~ I could have happily stayed here for a month! I will definitely be back.

Way better than I ever expected. So relaxing to hear the surf at night. Very clean and well maintained, with every amenity needed!
Lovely spot on the outskirts of town. Fully stocked with all sorts of beach gear, life vests, a trampoline, and a jacuzzi. The room was lovely, overlooking the adjacent beach. At night, it was very quiet. Rita and Bob run the operation very nicely, explained all the features and gave great advice.

The property is complete value for money.
These are 6 appartments all with one queen and 2 single beds. Perfect for small families.
Its right at the beach and the backyard is very well maintained with a trampoline and a spa tub & a barbecue area.
We stayed 2 nights and have no complaints at all.
The morning views were priceless.
