4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2012 NEW

Shops, harbour and restaurants are all within walking distance Parking and entering/exiting the property is not the easiest due to pedestrians and lack of space, but manageble On the downside: units are only serviced every 4 days Internet $10.-- for 24 hrs

Overlooking the lagoon and wharf and a stones throw from the beach. Very comfortable and well equipped. Bedroom a little small in comparison to the very large living area. Also no drawers or shelves in the cupboard. Some street noise but its not an issue. Two doors away from the Hog - the best value restaurant in the village. Spa... More

We stayed four nights at the Esplanade apartments and totally enjoyed the space and views over the wharf and the river.The apartment was well equipped and comfortable.There was some noise early in the morning with boat owners parking their cars and boat trailers across the road in the car park, but overall a very pleasant stay.

The apartments and views were gorgeous..looking down onto the play ground, wharf and water. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well prepared for cooking. However we were very disappointed by the inconsiderate treatment by the staff and manager. He may have been having a bad day but was very unprofessional. I will not be going back.

A wonderful part of the world, Whitianga. These new apartments were spacious and comfortable and very handy to the heart of the town. A little too noisy even at the quiet time of the year we were there as the restaurant next door is very close. We enojed our time there but perhaps there could be more cooking utensils in... More

Returned to Melbourne (Aus) from Whitianga over a week ago and felt obliged to comment on this accomodation (first review ever). Had a fantastic time during our 2 weeks and found the service from the front desk was first rate. Both Jenny and Kel were very approachable, available (we arrived at 9pm on a saturday) and were genuinely interested. They... More

We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment above the pool which happened to be also opposite the Wild Hog Restaurant downstairs. Because it was peak season, every night from dinner time til about 11pm at night (as well as from 8am in the morning) we would hear bottles constantly being emptied into the bins outside and general noise from washing...

Great views from room. Great service from proprietors. Unfortunately it was incredibly noisy at night due to a pub in the building, as well as a pub next door and a park across the road. Because it overlooks the harbour there is also early morning wake ups (if you have been able to sleep) from tractors putting boats in the... More
