We traveled as a couple to Whitianga, staying with Belinda and Bryan. Their home is well-situated, right across from the beach and within walking distance to most amenities of Whitianga. The weather was poor when we were there so we may not have experienced all the area had to offer. But Belinda and Bryan were a great team and made us both feel very welcome. They shared their home, their stories and tips on exploring the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
