Top The Waterways Hotel Reviews

Waterfront Apartments Whitianga

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful place, could see the ocean from the room. I love that there was a kitchenette and a spot to sit and watch the tides come in and out. Its a walk away from everything in town. Quiet place, they were doing some renovations but we were out the entire time they were working and it didn't other us. On-site laundry, the host was lovely. And super helpful. We will be coming back to Whitianga!"

Albert Number 6 Motel

8/10 Good

"Car park was a struggle to get in and out of with not much backing room and turn space. Friendly staff just wished I hadn’t had to wait a while to get a fresh set of towels, seen a family waiting for a staff member was there for a long period of time. When arriving not properly greeted or instructed on how cleaning and everything works (or even telling us tourist about what’s around here and what activities are on etc)"
