How things change
On the Friday morning when we were to inter my late wife's ashes in the Whitianga cemetery, I tripped when stepping up onto the front patio and dislocated my right shoulder. The 4 greatgranddaughters and my daughter went to the cemetery and completed the burial as arranged. I, accompanied by my son and granddaughter, went to the clinic then over to Thames hospital where it was put back in finally. Back to Whitianga midnight. We visited the cemetery before leaving for Auckland the next morning. The house was all we could have asked for and I would be very happy to return for a longer stay. I am afraid I was not clear of drugs when we left but think, and hope, we left it tidy, everything in its place and clear of our rubbish. Kym was an excellent communicator. I cannot really fault any part of the whole arrangement and experience, apart from my own carelessness.

Not worth the money
House was clean however we were little disappointment by the service provide! Toiletries were not provided apart from toilet paper. Would have been nice to include sheets and towels for future. my friends were bit upset as WiFi was not provided and other things as well utensils were not clean. Happy that we only booked it for one day and not two.

Great location and excellent for a larger group of differing ages. Separate downstairs lounge for those travelling with older kids. Bathrooms were good with good water pressure. BBQ could do with an upgrade as it is very rusty and on it's last legs . Other than that slight negative I would recommend

Great stay - thank you!
Thank you we had a great stay - the place was very clean, kitchen well equipped, modern bathrooms, spacious rooms/good room config for a big group (11 of us) including comfortable beds. Only downside were the creaky stairs. Great location - a stroll to the Lost Spring and walkable to the supermarkets and esplanade. It was a great place to base to further explore nearby beaches.
