We arrived by plane mid morning, expecting just to be able to drop off our bags and go off exploring. However, the apartment was ready for us and we were warmly welcomed with breakfast supplies, helpful information and all we needed to make the most of our stay.
The apartment itself is spacious, well-equipped and stylish. We were very pleased with the number of thoughtful touches: Earthwise toiletries and products; quality ground coffee, cereals and bread for breakfast; Netflix and Smart TV; induction hob; washing machine. The location, a short walk from the Town Basin, Aquatic Centre and right on the beautiful Hatea River Walk, was perfect for us. Whangarei has much to offer as a base for diving, walking, exploring and relaxing; we had three full days, left some things for a return visit and hope to stay again in the apartment.
