Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The hosts were very kind and attentive. They gave us great tips and ideas for planning our day. The breakfast was fantastic. We’d definitely stay there again. P.S. The accommodation is located in the hosts’ private home, and the house isn’t marked as a B&B from the outside.
Everything war perfect.
Pequeno almoço muito bom, variado, servido numa mesa com uma vista fantástica sobre a baía. O quarto e a casa de banho estavam muito bem arranjados e confortáveis, e recheados de amenidades
La atención fue increible. Sus dueños, muy cariñosos y atentos, nos dieron muchas recomendaciones para disfrutar de la mejor manera nuestra estadía en la ciudad.
Stunning property inside and out, with a glorious sea-view of the beautiful bay ahead of us. The wonderful hosts Heather & Don have left no stone unturned with their perfect eye for every detail. Our ground-floor room was beautiful, with generous complimentary food & drink, and a wonderful view of the stylish garden & classy seating area. The facilities were excellent and beautifully designed. Breakfast on the first floor had delightful sea-view, and the very eye-catching and beautifully displayed food was delicious. We think the taste and display of the cooked part of the breakfast was the best we have ever seen and tasted anywhere in the World, wow. Thank you so much Heather & Don for our memorable stay.

Tout était fabuleux. Le petit déjeuner d'Heather est digne des meilleurs restaurants. Le logement est magnifiquement décoré et offre une très belle vue sur l'océan. Heather et Don ont été des hôtes très accueillants qui représentent parfaitement la gentillesse que nous avons ressentie durant tout notre voyage en Nouvelle-Zélande. Merci à eux !

This property is amazing! Staying at Heather and Don’s place is like staying with family you actually enjoy catching up with. The accommodation wants for nothing; it is clean, comfortable, plenty of room, great shower, lovely views over the water. Don’t even get me started on the breakfast! What a way to start the day! Handy to walk to town and lots of restaurants, just across the road from the waterfront and the walking paths. Just fabulous, cannot recommend this place enough.
Absolutely nothing.
We thought Heather and Don were exceptional hosts. They made us feel very welcome and comfortable. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented.

Alles - top Ausstattung, super nette Gastgeber, tolle Lage - komplette Empfehlung ohne Einschränkungen
Breakfast was wonderful. Heathers artistic eye even extends to food presentation. The location and accommodation are stunning, Heather and Don clearly operate their business as a labour of love as every detail seems to have been considered. There were lots of little unsolicited extras which added to our enjoyment of our stay at Waters Edge

We had a wonderful stay at Water’s Edge in Whitianga and would absolutely return. The location is hard to beat—right on the waterfront with beautiful views, and just a short, easy walk into town for restaurants, shops, and activities. The apartment itself was incredible- spacious, clean, and very well equipped, making it feel like a home away from home. Waking up to the sound of the water and enjoying coffee and an incredible restaurant class breakfast overlooking the bay was a real highlight. Heather and Don were friendly and welcoming, making check-in smooth and ensuring everything we needed was taken care of. Small special touches like turn down for bedtime and chocolates, plus a welcome cheese and wine. The overall atmosphere was relaxed and peaceful, perfect for switching off and enjoying the Coromandel.
Nothing - it’s impossible to find a fault
New Zealand is a fantastic country full of wonderful memories and experiences, and a trip to New Zealand would not be complete without staying at Heather and Dons B&B. It is without doubt the best B&B we have ever stayed in and possibly up there with the very best hotel accommodation anywhere. From the wonderful greeting on arrival to the moment you leave it is a wonderful experience. The house and the room are beautiful and breakfast has to be seen to be believed. You will not want for anything during your stay from supplying beach towels and spades when you visit Hot Water Beach, the cheese and biscuits and chilled wine in your fridge on arrival and chocolates on your bed in the evening. We needed to contact a GP during our stay and Heather even phoned around to see what she could arrange. Heather and Don are wonderful hosts and the only negative thing in our stay was having to leave, it was like staying with your favourite relatives, just book you will never regret it.

Having stayed here 2 years ago we worried that things might have changed. But thankfully nothing has.
Excellent position with fantastic views
The property is beautiful and well located looking over the beach. Heather and Don provide lots of little extras -wine, cheese,fruit-which was appreciated. The home cooked breakfast was beautiful and we enjoyed the chat at breakfast time. Heather and Don were great hosts who welcomed us into their home and made a great stay.

Heather and Don are the most beautiful hosts you can imagine. Their hospitality and their B&B is awesome.

Brilliant beach side location with perfect welcoming hosts Heather and Don. Nice room with lots of yummy extras, garage parking for car plus delicious breakfast every day. Helped us orientate to Whitianga and region generally with hints and tips. Don even drove us round Whitianga to show us views we'd never have found!
Room a little bit small when you have large cases to open /use every day.
Wir wollten gar nicht mehr weg. Die Eigentümer sind sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Schwarz-Weiß zieht sich konsequent durch das Haus. Unser Apartment im Erdgeschoss hatte mehrere Terrassen mit Sitzmöbeln und der Blick zum Meer war nur durch die Straße und eine Hecke versperrt. Das Badezimmer war richtig groß und modern. Eine tolle Dusche. Morgens und abends wurde das Zimmer gereinigt und wir konnten unsere Wäsche waschen. Als ob wir bei Freunden zu Besuch waren. Großartig. Richtig gut war das Frühstück mit einer leckeren Eierspeise oder heute Morgen mit Avocado-Brot. Lecker. Wir wurden sehr freundlich und zugewandt begrüßt und auch verabschiedet. DANKESCHÖN für den tollen Aufenthalt.
Ein Kreisverkehr ist direkt vor dem Haus. Aber ab 22:00 Uhr bis 8:00 Uhr war es äußerst ruhig.
Breakfast fantastic ❤️

The place was just amazing ! The house and room were just gorgeous and in front of the beach. Heather and her husband were amazing, helpful and kind and gave us recommandations for restaurants and spots to visit. The breakfast was great, it was on par with a 5-star hotel breakfast ! Wine, chesse and snacks were also included with the room, a really nice touch.
Everything was perfect !
Absolutely perfect location, house, room, and hosts. Couldn’t be better.
Very comfortable room in the most beautiful property. Breakfast on the terrace overlooking the ocean was very special.

Me gustó todo. La ubicación, la comodidad, la decoración, un desayuno insuperable, la amabilidad de Heather y su marido…
No hay nada negativo
Es war wirklich eine wunderschöne Unterkunft,welche sehr lokal gelegen ist. Die Gastgeber waren auch wirklich freundlich und nett.
A very comfortable room that is beautifully decorated. Everything you might have forgotten is in the bathroom drawer. Extra little treats to enjoy. Wonderful hosts thag spoil you with breakfast before you leave.
Not having another night there.
Todo. La habitación cómoda y con vistas a la playa, teníamos todo lo que necesitábamos. Podíamos acceder desde el garaje sin necesidad de molestar a los dueños y eso nos dio la independencia que necesitábamos. Los anfitriones fueron de 10; nos ayudaron a planear nuestros días por la zona y nos prepararon el desayuno todas las mañanas con mucho cariño y a la hora que queríamos.
Nada, fue todo perfecto
Our stay in Whitianga was excellent! We received a very good and warm attention from the owners of this property and also a lot of tourist information. The room was big and very cleane and a lot of attention was given to every detail. The breakfast was delicious! The village is beautiful and very peaceful.
Don and Heather were amazing hosts. The room was impeccable, the attention to detail in the decor of the home is incredible and the location is perfect. They provided a delicious breakfast and snacks in the room which was a pleasant surprise. They gave us recommendations for places/restaurants to visit and they turned out great each time. They've created a beautiful home that they welcome the guests into and we would highly recommend their B&B to anyone visiting Whitianga.
Wonderful hosts and exceptional attention to detail with the property and what they offer to guests. Breakfast was incredibly generous and really delicious. Loved their advice on places to see and do. Wentworth Falls were amazing. Wish we could have stayed longer really. What a way to start our trip.

Breakfast exceeded expectations, the room was extremely well appointed, the hosts were very lovely. Cleanliness was 10 out of 10. We loved our stay and will definitely book again. Great value for money too lots of extras you would not get at a hotel/motel. Perfect
A hair dryer was the only possible thing we could see missing
So clean and comfortable. Everything you could need and more. Fantastic, friendly hosts and delicious breakfast
Everything was perfect
Everything was just wonderful. We have been expecting great things, because of the reviews , but it was even better. Heather and Don are just so perfect. They were always there if we needed them. They made the PERFECT breakfast. Talking to them was really interesting. And overall their place is beautiful and clean and we loved everything about it. Getting to stay with them was perfect. full stop
Extremely warm hosts Heather and Don. They provided way more than expected--welcoming tour, attraction guide, daily chocolate, restaurant recommendations, fabulous breakie, you name it. My partner and I were inspired by the little designs for our new house, especially the heated towel rail? poles? which we havent found a manufacturer yet.
None Wish Google Maps could update their location, but that's no biggie.
Excellent. and 10 out of 10 for presentation.
Happy with everything.

Breakfast was amazing
10/10 !!!
Heather and Don were exceptional hosts who have literally thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The room was outstanding, the location is spectacular, the breakfast was superb and their hospitality is the best I’ve ever experienced. By far, the best B&B we have ever stayed in anywhere in the world. Thank you so much for making our anniversary so special. Tony & Kerri
There is absolutely nothing Heather and Don could’ve done any better. Pure perfection
The owners were very attentive and eager to ensure a comfortable stay
Review: A Truly Pampered Stay with Heather and Don From the moment we arrived, Heather and Don were absolutely fabulous—true consummate hosts. The location couldn’t have been better, situated right across from the beach with stunning views of the area. Our bedroom and bathroom were spotless and beautifully appointed, and the gardens were just lovely. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a thoughtful cheese platter complete with crackers, grapes, and a bowl of fresh fruit—a delightful touch. Bottled water was provided, and for coffee lovers, there was fresh coffee available too. We felt thoroughly pampered throughout our stay. In the morning, Heather and Don treated us to an incredible breakfast: fresh fruit, yogurt, granola, toast with jams, and fresh orange juice. They then offered us eggs and bacon, served on a delicious toasted baguette with avocado—an absolute treat! Heather and Don truly know how to make their guests feel special. We can’t recommend this bed and breakfast highly enough.
Was there anything that could have gone better? Absolutely nothing could have gone better for us. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and we felt completely cared for from start to finish. It was truly a lovely and memorable experience.
Heather and Don were wonderful hosts. Their property is beautiful and well located. Breakfast was truly amazing. Our car was not only off the road, it was in the garage! We will rush straight back as soon as we can.
Nothing - it was perfect.
Amazing location and even better hosts! Incredible breakfast. Impeccably clean.
Nothing, it was perfect
Heather and Don were the loveliest, most welcoming hosts. The bed was very comfortable and the room very clean . They had thought of everything, even chocolates on the bed!! Breakfast was so delicious and so much of it.
It was a great room and great location
Water's Edge B&B exceeded our expectations! As we drove up to their house, Heather & Don greeted us, and they were so helpful with everything that we needed. The room was beautifully decorated; the whole house was stunning. The view of the bay was amazing. The breakfast they served us was visually appealing on the plate, and delicious! The room had everything we needed from a very comfy bed, a beautiful, large patio to relax on, electric kettle for tea, coffee maker, snacks, and a nice bottle of wine, and they had WiFi for us to use. This stay at Water's Edge was a gem, and we would stay there again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Heather & Don.
Everything was perfect; I can't think of a thing.
Hosts were wonderful. Breakfast great. Bed comfortable. Location was perfect - just across from beach and a short walk to town.
Absolutely everything!
Don and Heather were the most welcoming host to their beautiful home. They provided excellent, freshly-prepared breakfasts coupled with interesting and informative conversations.
Beautiful property, great hosts, loverly breakfast. One of the best in our trip
Lovely hosts providing a warm relaxed welcome in a luxurious home and a great breakfast on the outdoor veranda with fantastic views over the bay.
Hard to find any faults
Beautiful home with an outstanding view across the ocean.
Amazing bed and breakfast. Heather and Don are the most perfect hosts. Do not hesitate to book this place you will not regret it. Exceptionally clean, modern, and comfortable. Every little detail makes the guests feel special and welcome. Our only regret is that we didn’t book it for more nights.
Nothing. We loved everything about it.
We stayed 2 nights at Waters Edge. Heather and Don were the perfect hosts in their fabulous house. They made us feel at home from the word go. Breakfast was simply out of this world. The bed was super-comfortable. There was absolutely nothing to fault this experience.
Everything. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much.

Nothin, everything perfect
Don and Heather were the perfect hosts! Their home is beautiful, exceptionally clean, and LOCATION was exceptional. Gorgeous views from 2nd story deck, just cross the street for a walk on the beach or stroll 5-10 minutes to a selection of restaurants. Cherry on top are the lovely treats in your room...wine, cheese, crackers, chocolates! And a 5 star gourmet breakfast as beautifully presented as tasty!

Host were so welcoming and friendly. Could not fault the room, and the little extras that were in our room were much appreciated. The cooked breakfast was cafe quality. Even better that some cafes. Feel like we left as friends.
Absolutely nothing.
Heather and Don were delightful. This house was amazing and possibly the nicest house in the city. It's brand new and the accommodations were outstanding! Don cooked us a breakfast that was easily our best breakfast during our 3 week stay in New Zealand.
Not a single thing. Could have been one of the nicest places we stayed in all of New Zealand. We're sending our friends there when they go to New Zealand.
Lovely, modern, perfect location, hosts were amazing!
Everything was perfect! Don and Heather were such accommodating hosts and made us feel right at home. The property is in an unbeatable location and the amenities they provided were stellar. Very thankful for them and our stay!

We spent a wonderful stay in Heather & Don's place. The sea view on Whitianga beach is gorgeous and the house is very nicely decorated, all in black & white. Despite a late arrival, we were warmly welcomed and Heather and Don are not shy about offering advice on things to do in the area. The breakfast is just fabulous and very well presented
Very caring hosts and wonderful location. Very tasteful and stylish interior decoration, super delicious breakfast and a stunning terrace view.
Heather and Don’s bed and breakfast was incredible! Their modern, beachside home is stunning, just steps from the beach and walking distance to shops and restaurants. Their hospitality, helpful activity tips, and delicious food made our stay unforgettable. Highly recommend!
N/A - we loved our stay!
The B&B is a modern, beautiful space in a great location. Walk to restaurants, and the beach right across the street. The breakfast on the terrace every morning was amazing. But what really makes it special are the hosts Heather and Don. Amazing hosts and even more amazing people. Had a lovely time chatting with them. Highly recommend staying here a few nights!
Stunning modern house with fabulous views of the beach across the street. The bedroom is a very comfortable large room on the street level with a slider to a private outdoor lounge area with outdoor couches and tables. The hosts are fantastic and gave yery helpful suggestions. They only rent out one room downstairs, so it is very private and quiet, although the house is close to the road. This is one of the nicest B &B houses we have stayed in. The beach across the street is beautiful and the B&B is walking distance to restaurants and shops nearby. It is immaculately clean with an unbelievably delicious and creative breakfast.
Nothing! Would stay here every time.
Every aspect of our stay was very enjoyable. The hosts were very welcoming and explained every thing in a friendly way. The room was beautifully decorated and in pristine condition. Every creature comfort was supplied in the room, it was absolutely perfect in every way. Our hosts were welcoming and very friendly and our breakfast was five star!!!!
Nothing our stay was relaxing and we were spoiled. Honestly we could find not one thing we didn't like.
Everything was perfect. The couple was super friendly. Everything was very clean and nicely furnished. Nothing was missing. Highly recommended.

Elite! Deluxe! Impeccably clean, very tastefully/artistically decorated. MichelinStar-type vegetarian breakfast cooked by multi-talented hostess Heather, aided by raconteur hubby Don. Delightful, professional, attentive, hospitable hosts. Very accommodating (got up at sparrow’s to cook us breakfast for an early departure on the next leg of our journey); served on plush deck with oveanview. Exceptional amenities: 2 beautiful adjacent gardens for guests, huge comfortable stylish bedroom, ample space, fridge/drawers/cupbrds stocked with free wine, tea/coffee, snacks, (bathroom drawer offered every item imaginable from razors to very personal toiletries; every need under the sun provided for. Secure premises & parking. Water’s Edge worth every cent! Incomparable on every level. We refuse to stay anywhere else!

The hosts, Heather and Don, were very welcoming and accommodated our requests. My wife asked for a yoga mat, and she was allowed to borrow not only a yoga mat but also a bolster, blocks, etc. Each day, we discussed the best hiking options and weather conditions. All of the suggested walks were uncrowded and beautiful. We learned about Whitianga culture, food, and the seas and rivers surrounding it.
