Fantastic location on the beach front which was great for an early morning jog along the pathed walkway. Room was super comfortable with all of the amenities needed. Close to town where I needed to charge my car so grabbed a bite to eat at a local pub.
Shower pressure was a little low but that is being very picky.
Right at the beach location excellent
Shower pressure really bad something needs to be done about it
Location was good. Comfy bed. Very clean & tidy. Warmly welcomed upon arrival.
It was a cold night and the heater took a long time to warm the room. Gentle shower pressure.
Location and cost.
Unfortunately my toilet continued to run most of the night. I had to get up and bang it several times before it stopped. Probably needs a washer??
Close to everything. Very clean, comfortable bed
Kay was really friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable.

Just down the road from the pub for a meal.
The front desk lady was extremely helpful and friendly in helping us around town and showing us our rooms

Very friendly and helpful, great location. Wish I could has stayed longer.
Booked while travelling. Spent two days here and really enjoyed it. Beachfront views over the main road made this special. Really near town on the promenade, walking distance to the museum (which we are sorry we missed - the James Cook / Mercury Bay expedition sounded very interesting) and the quay where the ferry and the cruises depart. Could easily walk into town. We found Whitangia more interesting than Coromandel Town. It had many restaurants within a short distance of the hotel. We tried three - all were good. Some nice tourist souvenir shops in town for last minute presents. Spacious room and has kitchen, couches and outside area. Lovely staff, very welcoming and informative. The hotel has connections to local tourism (tours and restaurants) and had some good recommendations and discounts (we booked the Cavecruzer tour because of their recommendation and really enjoyed it).
Very comfortable. Excellent hostess. thanks you for your help.
Rather dated but this was reflected in the price.
location
old bathroom
The Manager was incredibly welcoming, and the room was as she explained, a lovely old fashioned motel but very clean and comfortable. The 2 bedroom apartment was very spacious, had an extra single bed in the lounge room which suited us perfectly. We looked directly out to the beach from our living area, couldn't ask for a better view. We only spent 1 night here on our way to Cathedral Cove but could have easily spent several days here.
It was clean very local to the restaurants and bars. Just across from the beach. They even provided beach towels.
L'emplacement
La vétusté des équipements, le manque de sonorisation
Friendly staff and nice and close to the beach for walking.
Clean, comfortable and attractive beach-front accommodation, very conveniently situated near pubs, restaurants and the ferry wharf. Our host was very friendly and helpful.
The place was just realy lovely, and we all found it amazing! Clean and very accomadating with our late check-in 👍🏻
It was a bit expencive for a group of backpackers, but worth it after many weeks of sleeping in hostel dorms.
Proche de toutes commodités. À 2 pas du centre ville et de la mer .
Absence de mitigeurs cuisine et salle de bain. Chambres qui donnent sur le parking général. Équipement vieillissant.
Ubicación y era súper espacioso
Super beliggenhed tæt på havet, havnen, restauranter og gå afstand til centrum. Fint værelse hvor der var rent og pænt. Personalet var søde og hjælpsomme👍
Lovely location, friendly and helpful staff, no complaints.
Great location, lovely staff (who were so helpful during the recent extreme weather in the region!)
Located across the road from the beach, the rooms are older looking but are very clean and tidy. Amazing customer service with local knowledge of the area. Bed was comfy and kitchen had all the appliances you need.
The room only comes with a fan, no air conditioning. Water pressure in the shower is low.
It was lovely staying at the anchorage .the owners were great and very friendly and helpful the area was close to beach and not to far from town and the pubs I really recommended this place lots of room to park as will
The owners are wonderful ,the place is very clean and the rooms are great you get sit outside your rooms and you can see people at the beach it’s lovely
Easy to access the room later at night. Staff we're great and friendly. I left my Kindle in the room and they promptly contacted my to retrieve it. Great stay!

Location and staff were great.
The water pressure in the shower was really bad
Location and friendly helpful receptionist.
No shower gel or mirror with plug to dry hair
This is a clean, comfortable, simple motel n a great location - just opposite the beach and easy walk to restaurants, bars and the town centre. The owner was very accommodating and friendly. We would reccommend this motel.
It was what we expected.
Fab location, great welcome and reception from the owners
Nothing, whilst a little dated absolutely clean throughout
Nice place. Been there before , Straight across from the beach.
Location was excellent, beach, shops and everything we needed was in close proximity to the motel. Kay at reception welcomed us warmly. Also like that we could park our car just outside the unit. The unit was clean and amenities well thought of.
The room and fixtures seemed a little dated
The location is incredible. Looking over the beach. The view was amazing from the front cabin. It was very clean. Checkin & checkout were quick & easy.
Nothing.. everything was good enough
great location
water pressure in shower is very low
It was so nice to be able to enjoy the boat ride. The staff at the accommodation, restaurant, and boat were all so friendly that I want to visit Whitianga again.
The water pressure is extremely weak. Is Whitianga a water-scarce area? Please improve it.
Camera molto bella e curata. La signora alla reception gentilissima. C’è anche una lavanderia per gli ospiti ma non l’abbiamo usata.
Very convenient place to stay.close to shops & town centre.Lovely view from the hotel & easy access to the beach

Nothing really.
Comfy and clean rooms Perfect location The lady who welcomed us was absolutely lovely
Weak water pressure in the shower
Great location, so close to the beaches and close to the wharf, ferry and eateries on the esplanade. The lady at reception was excellent and very helpful with activity information and things to do. The ferry runs all day and gives you access to Flaxmill and Cooks Beach as well a shuttle that will take you to cathedral cove and hot water beach. Lots of tour operators running water activities and boat trips.
Location was great, nice and central with a superb view. The room was comfy and clean. The bed was very comfy, and it had great parking. Easy to find and very friendly staff.
The bathroom and shower if a bit dated. Did the job however and was clean
Well organised and spacious room. Beach nearby.
friendly owner and good location to the beach.
So center and very accomodating
I selected extra kid 0-2 somehow doesnt appears as extra person so i got $20 extra charged.
