Ocean Beach Wainui

Ocean Beach Wainui

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent stay in Wainui Beach. The location was perfect, just a very short walk from the beach, which made it ideal for watching the sunrise. The room was clean, comfortable and had everything I needed. Peaceful area and a great place to relax after a long day of driving. I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended."
