A lovely cottage, conveniently located close to the beach (5 min walk) and the local town shops and markets. Judie and her husband are great hosts, the cottage has everything you need away from home. There are 2 separate bedrooms, separate lounge and a kitchen, This place is perfect for a family, or a group of friends. Things that we found 'must do' in Whakatane: enjoy Ohope beach West end, the most loved beach of NZ; Awakeri Hot Springs thermal pools - soak in the naturally hot mineral water and relax; definitely try local avocados - they are amazing; visit the local Saturday market; try local cafes and restaurants. Highly recommended place for a holiday!
