We just returned from a wonderful stay at Downtown Retreat in Whakatane! We absolutely loved our stay! This beautiful unit is clean and comfortable with a nice feeling to it. Every expectation was met. Comfy beds, well equipped kitchen, nice private backyard, amazing host who looked after our every need as well as adding extra touches for our toddlers who can often be unsure of new environments. Thanks to the owners/host of this unit our toddler felt at home as soon as she walked in the door. Thank you’s we loved our stay and all the little extra touches were truly appreciated! This unit is great value for money and is close walk or drive to city centre, takeaways, restaurants, supermarkets, Sunday market, you name it who could ask for more! We will definitely return if in the area again. Many thanks
