Apartment w/ Pool 600m to CBD!

GeoffRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Great place for a couple of nights. Comfy bed. Right next to wharf, the beach, and riverbank walkway. Walked to Farmers Market on Saturday morning. As mentioned in the comments, there seems to be a bit of angst about AirBnB and the parking situation - a resident we met when we arrived told us: "AirBnB guests can't park onsite." (we didn't park onsite, nor did we even ask anyone).

A private balcony overlooks the beach, featuring two modern chairs and a small table. Glasses and a bottle are placed on the table, and tall pine trees frame the view of the ocean and distant lighting along the shore as dusk approaches.

WaitaiRating, 5 stars3 months ago

We had the most wonderful stay at Aisling’s home! The house was perfectly situated, just a stone’s throw from the beach and only a short 6-8 minute drive to Opotiki township. The cleanliness was exceptional, and the house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, making it feel like a true home away from home. The doors and windows leading out to the deck were a highlight, allowing the fresh air to flow through the home. The deck itself was perfect for relaxing, whether it was sipping morning coffee or enjoying dinner with family. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and there was an ample supply of bedding, which added an extra layer of comfort. The entire home exceeded my expectations, and my family thoroughly enjoyed our 2-week stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommend Aisling’s home – it’s a true gem!
