We were a group of 5 an extended family from 65 down to 11. We enjoyed the great layout of the place & had plenty of room even on mid winter rainy days. We used the pool & spa each day. While it suited us some of the furniture (sofa & coffee table & one queen bed) was very low so would be difficult for the less mobile & the staircase has no landing to rest half way. But if you are mobile then you would be hard pressed to find a better base for your Whitianga holiday. The kitchen is well appointed with all you need & some to cook well. The freezer below the fridge is handy.
