Whale Bay Surf Bach is an outstanding Airbnb, nestled tightly into Whale Bay just down the coast from Waikato's surf hotspot; Raglan. With a deck and outside area facing north, overlooking eager surfers, an endless horizon, and the disappearing West Coast coastline, time flies, with most of it spent either in the spa pool or on the outside couches soaking in both champagne and the sunshine. With enough room for a couple and a trio of kids, we came here as just a duo and enjoyed the spacious, two-bedroom apartment-sized accommodation. We would have enjoyed a few small items such as milk, butter, and a few breakfast basics, and a few extra blankets or a room-heating option would have been appreciated — these did dampen the experience a touch, for what you pay. Overall, we loved our stay, and should the price come down, we would consider staying again.
