Ani's place is very close to the centre of town but was very quiet and peaceful. The house is old so expect some idiosyncracies but it has character and everything you need including a very well equipped kitchen. Wifi was excellent. Beds were very comfortable. Check in simple and straightforward. Hard to imagine a more convenient location for Whakatane. Supermarket 10mins walk and all the good eateries even closer. Recommended for a group or family or solo traveler who likes their space.
