"Property is one of two self contained units attached to a rural property. There are no nearby retail options so you do need to be relatively self contained - there are nearby beach and historic tumbledown buildings and wharf to explore as well as other sightseeing options within easy driving distance - a great place for a few days away from it all and to chill or to explore - getting there is a significant drive, as there are only two access directions via either Whakatane or Gisborne, but in this reviewers opinion, well worth the effort - accommodation was fully equipped for cooking although we had evening meals both nights at the local pub in the bay - good menu choices, simple and well prepared"
"Welcoming and very beautiful visited in the winter and the home was very cosy and warm. The view was breath taking to wake up too. Would be definitely booking back in here. "
"This is a true old style Kiwi bach, a bit scruffy and well worn/used. But that is its beauty and authenticity. Staying by the beach in a more remote part of Aotearoa, I do not want a super-swish, Auckland style apartment. The area is stunningly beautiful, especially Whanarua Bay itself. But there seem to be undertones of local conflict over who can fish, how and where. So be careful and sensitive."
