Ani's place in Whakatane is excellent. Roomy, lots of bedrooms, crispy fresh linen and lots of towels, seperate bathroom and toilet, huge lounge and big garden. All communication with Ani was great and gaining entry was easy. We (3 adults) stayed for 2 nights and cooked in her small kitchen on both nights - plenty of crockery and utensils (all clean). Its really close to the river front and the shops and bars too. Would recommend wholeheartedly. Thanks
