The Aotearoa Lodge is a nice place a little bit outside of the centre of town. For anyone with a car and happy to drive it is perfectly fine. The wifi was good, the bed was comfortable and the shower was good.

Great location! Only a wee walking distance to shops and beach (within 10 minutes unless you want Woolworth/Warehouse then drive 5 mins). Great space in rooms, clean and tidy. Gives a classic Kiwi motel vibe :) Friendly and helpful owner who is just a phone call away. Rooms were clean, cooking facilities were more than adequate. Parking right in front of our room.

Very spacious, lovely furnishings, clean and close to town, yet lovely and quiet. Private outdoor seating area and deck. Fresh orange juice and plenty of milk and boutique condiments. Beautiful breakfast, but why bread in the freezer?

We were down for a funeral so did not get time to explore...
We were down for a funeral so did not get time to explore what was on offer. However we did travel to the waterways and went for dinner with the family and friends who came to the funeral. Lost Springs was the venue which I can imagine would be a very busy place due to the geo thermal spa and restaurant setup they have. Next time we will do the tourist thing which we are very good at!

We really enjoyed our 1 night stay at this gem of a place, set in a lush forest. The surroundings were idyllic, with beautiful vistas over Whitianga town and beach. The bed was superb and breakfast was amazing - more than we could eat with more than 6 types of fruit, yoghurt, bacon & eggs, and mushrooms and tomatoes, toast...... We've never seen such a variety of teas and coffee on offer! Wish we had had more than 1 night to enjoy Beverley and Dave's wonderful hospitality. 10 out of 10!!

We joined a cruise to the Cathedral Cove from Whitianga.
We joined a cruise to the Cathedral Cove from Whitianga. It was very nice and enjoyable. The beach was scenic. It is a small town but with 2 big supermarkets where we can buy fresh local food.
It is a long drive from Auckland. It would be easier if there is car ferry from Auckland east to the Coromandel pennisula.

Whitianga is a beautiful place especially the area we stayed...
Whitianga is a beautiful place especially the area we stayed in being surrounded by the beach. Everything is close by in walking distance. What a bonus. The people are lovely and friendly. We tried the Slice slice baby - pizza place because we seen a lot of people going in and out and now we know why! We also had fish and chips from the shop just next to the pizza and by far the best fish and chips I've had. Fresh and tasty.

Small town but had most things you would want access to.
Small town but had most things you would want access to. Lovely beach and it had a lovely peaceful feel about it. Enjoyed dining at Stoked Bar and Grill. Had a great vibe and was across from the beach.

Our favourite activity was going on a Cathedral Cove Coast...
Our favourite activity was going on a Cathedral Cove Coast and cave tour with mercury Bay discoveries. Highly recommend getting out on the water.
We enjoyed a dinner at Grace O'Malleys, generous meals at a reasonable price, with a beautiful view.
We enjoyed the closeness to other beaches eg Hahei, Cooks Beach.
We enjoyed taking the ferry across to Ferry landing to explore Flaxmore Bay and other landmarks.
Great Mini Putt golf course , very well kept.
The unit was sparkling clean. I enjoyed sipping coffee from the balcony. We woke up early to watch the sun rise and even made time to slip into the hot tub. We did not cook outdoors, but noted the gorgeous table for alfresco dining. We opted for the Whitianga restaurants which were a short drive away. The proprietors left us a shallow container of water to rinse our feet before entering the unit. Great idea! When we checked in, we appreciated advice about visiting Driving Creek Railway, a narrow gauge railway constructed by a potter.
A real 'wow' property with the most beautiful views over Whitianga Bay. Fantastic for two families (which we were effectively with our son and his family) given it was split into two apartments with the main one having enough entertainment space for everyone and a huge balcony. Really nicely appointed and furnished with good bathrooms/en suites and everything you might need in the kitchen. Had a bit of a fight over rooms they were so nice! Great range of toys and stuff in case you needed it.
The hosts were friendly and even offered the use of a free beach bag with towels and a hose to wash off sand. We did the Cave Cruiise Tour and the Cathedral Cove Gateway Trail. We walked into Whitianga along the beach and had the Snapper Fish and Chips at Whitianga Takeaways, with staggering huge portion of chips more than enough for two and large thick snapper slices. It was a great stay.
Apartment was perfect clean, tidy and had all the amenities you need. Favorites was laundry with a dryer. Left with clean clothes no need to do washing when i got home🙂. Although I slept on the couch but it was very comfy, the location is walking distance to everything literally in the center of whitianga. Will definitely stay here again next time I visit whitianga👌
The accommodation was great and actually exceeded expectations. I was a best man at a wedding and the only non family member going. So, I needed a versatile accommodation on a budget. The living room was a converted garage which was elegant and kooky which now can see why the price is down the cheaper end. The rooms are great and bathrooms clean.
This place has great facilities with an amazing view. It is the kind of place you'd dream of staying at while visiting Whitianga. Feels comfortable and the staff are lovely. Within close proximity to the shops and the pools. Have stayed here multiple times and will continue to frequent this excellent accomodation.
Perfect location for a relaxed break. Fun water taxi over to Whitianga which had plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from. The hosts were super helpful and gave us some great recommendations. Great location to pop to cathedral cove and hot water beach. Would love to return for another stop over.
it was beautiful in every way. we were celebrating our wedding anniversary and Heather and Don made it even more special than we had expected. The breakfast was outstanding and better than a 5 star hotel …. we were thrilled with our stay! Thank you both very much!
Exactly what we wanted for an overnighter in Whitianga! The two women at reception we charming and helpful in navigating to Hot Water Beach. Our room for 3 was VERY comfortable!
Beautiful spacious, modern and very comfortable apartment with everything you need for a perfect stopover at Whitianga. Sheree, the hostess is very warm and friendly.
