Reviewed Jul 15, 2026The property was well groomed. It’s a km from the ferry to Whitianga.
We went in winter and it didn’t have heat pumps in any of the 3 bedrooms. The property is more commercial and has units closer to each other so if outside doesn’t give the privacy needed
10/10
Reviewed Apr 8, 2026Very comfortable and well located with easy access to the ferry - about 1.5 kms away. There are some nice walks nearby with great beaches nearby.

Grounds/facilities are excellent. Appreciated having laundry too. Location is fantastic. Flaxmill bay beach is across the road and Lonely Beach and Cooks Beach are within walking distance. Wonderful cafe just a few minutes walk away for delicious coffee every morning. Very close to other sights like Hot Water Beach. Staff are friendly and helpful with good recs (thanks, Robbie!). Highly recommend!

Reviewed Feb 8, 2026Garden View House at Flaxmill Resort was an excellent place to stay. The facilities exceeded our expectations. The interior is thoughtfully designed, and the high quality of everything provided—bedding, kitchen supplies, and furniture—made us feel right at home. The surrounding garden with bushes and trees offers privacy and welcome shade during hot summer days. The house was absolutely spotless, which was another pleasant surprise. A truly first-class accommodation!

Reviewed Nov 7, 2024Loved the location, good parking. the grounds were phenomenal! Tropical, beautifully landscaped, lush & private little beautifully maintained cozy cottages that were so charming & well appointed. Great storage in the bathroom. Quiet & perfect for strolling the shared grounds & campground. The jungle bird sounds were amazing to hear all day but especially to wake up to. The beach is right across the street, hiking trails are nearby & the best restaurants , the Hive and eggsentric !
Not enough room to open your suitcase, very limited space around the bed in the bedroom. No ice. Had to request ice cube trays & no welcome waters provided. Tiny dated shower.

Reviewed Feb 13, 2024We stayed in a three bedroom chalet that was very well appointed, clean, comfortable and homey. Management staff were very help with local dining and activity tips and suggestions. They even offer loaner mini-shovels for hot water beach excavations! When returning to the chalet in the late afternoon the interior was very hot as is probably expected summer without any a/c. However without any screens on the windows or sliding doors it was difficult to air without inviting bugs into the home. Our solution was to just return home later in the evening.
