Ani’s place was the perfect location to be based for our trip to White Island. All we had to do was walk around the corner and we were there. It was also a lovely spot just to hang out, to wander along to the waterfront and to have fish and chips at a water front cafe while watching the sun set. For those who want to stay in and prepare a meal, the kitchen is well equipped too. Just wish we had had a few more days to stay on. We recommend Ani’s place as a great place to stay in Whakatane.
