Emily's place is great value for money. Located a short walk or drive from the beach and still very close to town. Whitianga is the perfect place to relax. Emily and her husband are nice and we felt welcomed. Very easy to rinse the salt off of your wetsuit/clothes in their back yard. Fridge is great especially for a cold beer in the evening or for storing food. We enjoyed having cold milk for our cereal in the morning. WiFi is not available but Whitianga is all about relaxing and we didn't miss being online. There is plenty of free WiFi in town anyway. We recommend staying here.
