You won't find a better view anywhere! Our family of 5 (kids 10-14 yrs old) loved our seaside stay. We made the most of the kayaks and rock pools at low tide. The sound of the ocean was loud (us adults were sleeping on the porch area) at night but we loved it. We appreciated the books, magazines, hot shower and great outdoor chairs. Can definitely recommend this as the place to stay in Whananaki!
