Our extended family stayed for 3 nights. For many of us it was the first time we had been in Whakatane since our father did 7 years ago. So, it was a trip that was pretty special and significant. The house was perfect - a great location in relation to the town, beach, walks, cafes etc. We were able to relax in different rooms and outside without feeling cramped,and the kitchen was large and easy to work in. Maryan was very responsive with any communication.
