A very quiet and relaxing location on the canals. A reasonable walk or very short drive into the town centre, but very close to supermarkets. Clean, comfortable and well equipped - we ate in every evening with ease. Dorothy was a helpful and hospitable host, without being. at all intrusive. Whitianga is to be recommended as a base, and Sailor's Rest is equally to be recommended as a base in Whitianga. Perfect for a couple or indeed a business person wanting their own space.
