Book a Whakapara Cottage

"The property is in a good location, very clean, the staff amazing and the 'suites' well appointed, but the interior pictures do not tell the full story. We required a comfortable and clean base, and the property fulfilled that requirement. The exterior of the property is a different story. The entire site is covered in concrete for a as many parking bays as possible, the units are very basic from the outside, the 'restaurant is now a surplus furniture and bedding store. If you require a visually attractive 'resort', privacy and luxurious suites, this is not it. The 'suites' are basically repainted & refurnished cabins or rooms. The interior photos make it look much more luxurious than it is. So, this was great value as a comfortable, affordable and well-located base, but if you expect a holiday resort in Pahia, this is not it."

"Lovely stay ! 5 minute walk from the main area ! Comfortable and spacious rooms with green all around as if you are in a forest ! Lovely staff at the restaurant and good breakfast too . The reception staff needs training as both the guy and the lady are slow and needed reminders for simple jobs ! Very casual behaviour at reception ! "

"The whole experience of cleanliness, no sound denting with children screaming next door and lack of decent toiletries was highly disappointing. Staff lovely, the premises needs a totally new revamp."

"Friendly staff, good value for money."

"Lovely room, good amenities. Staff were lovely and friendly "

"Clean, spacious friendly sraff"

"A modest family run motel, but very well run. A friendly greeting at check in. Comfortable suite, with kitchen, microwave, fridge, kettle and all cutlery, plates etc. SPOTLESSLY CLEAN and neat! Lovely sea view from the slider doors/patio. Two TV’s. Guest laundry facilities on site. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this hotel."

"Not satisfied "

"Great location, walking distance to beach, shops and ferries, and yet set down a long driveway so it’s away from road noise. The spa pool was fantastic. "
