"I am a Chinese tour guide living in New Zealand, and I can say that this is the cleanest and most thoughtful hotel I have ever stayed in, especially the cleanliness and tidiness of the bedding, which touches me, and the apples prepared by the kitchen for everyone, which is so thoughtful. Highly recommend staying at 123. Mao"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Waitati?
The best area to stay in Waitati is the main settlement itself, particularly around Doctors Point Road and Harvey Street, which offers convenient access to the beach and local amenities.

This area is ideal for families looking for a relaxed coastal getaway. It's a quiet residential part of Waitati with direct paths leading to Doctors Point Beach, known for its caves and rock pools at low tide. There's also a local store and cafe within walking distance, providing essentials without needing to drive.

For couples seeking a more secluded escape, consider accommodations a bit further north along Waitati Valley Road. This area offers properties with more expansive views of the surrounding hills and provides a tranquil setting, while still being a short drive from the beach and the main settlement.
When is the best time to go to Waitati?
The best time to visit Waitati is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warmest and most suitable for outdoor activities.

During this period, Waitati experiences average daytime temperatures ranging from 18 to 22 degrees Celsius (64 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit), with longer daylight hours. This makes it ideal for exploring the local beaches, like Doctors Point, and enjoying walks along the coastal tracks. Families will find this time particularly good for beach outings and nature exploration.

The shoulder seasons, March to May (autumn) and September to November (spring), also offer pleasant conditions with fewer crowds. Temperatures are milder, typically between 12 and 18 degrees Celsius (54 to 64 degrees Fahrenheit), and the landscape is often quite colorful.
