Lovely view of the waterfall from our 'unit', #4\. Excellent location close to town so easy to walk. Bed was super large and the shower was also big and powerful. Loved meeting Oscar who is just adorable, though owning a Shih Tzu myself I may be a little biased. If I ever stay in Whakatane again, this will be my first choice."
