Love This Place !!!!
This was our third stay, previously in 2013 & 2014. We booked over a year in advance. We had arrived in NZ that morning. So we were very grateful to get in the room so early and thank you all very much for making that happen. Love the location. So nice to park the car and be able to walk everywhere. Great having the pool. Having the outdoor covered laundry hanger is awesome. This place give you that nice feeling of "living there" which I wish we could. We took our chairs from the balcony and enjoyed the small outdoor grassy area on the ground floor with some wine and cheese. You can hear the ocean at night with the bedroom window open. It was quiet, relaxing and very enjoyable. We would stay here again and again. Thank you and sorry for the late review.

Great location!
We stayed here for the first couple of nights in New Zealand and it was a great choice! We were greeted by friendly front desk staff who took the time to give us a quick introduction to the property and nearby town. The condo was well appointed with plenty of space. Our back deck was next to the boundary of the hot springs next door. During the day we could hear people at the spa but it closed in the evenings so that was not a problem. Our condo was very quiet with a comfortable bed and pillows and we appreciated having the ability to use laundry facilities after our day at Hot Water Beach. The property is within walking distance of the village with several restaurants and shopping. We also took the ferry across to the other side and did a hike/run on the trails around Cook’s Beach and Shakespeare Cliff Scenic Reserve. On the day we went to Hot Water Beach we borrowed a small spade and some beach towels at the front desk which was very helpful. Any questions we asked were cheerfully answered by the front desk staff. They were wonderful! We had a terrific introduction to New Zealand!…

Stylish home
We stayed for one night in a 2 bedroom apartment number 9. Very spacious and well equipped,washer and dryer were a handy bonus. Modern and sumptuous. Did not want to leave . Would highly recommend. Walking distance to very good restaurants and shops, 2 minutes walk from the beach. Day spa on sight which I will visit next time as we were only on a short stay.

A great stay!
We wished we had decided to stay here longer. We enjoyed everything about it. The apartment was excellent with all we needed and in a good location close to town. The hosts gave good tourist information - The Lost Spring (just through the back fence), That Curry Place (for an enjoyable curry meal), Hot Water Beach and Hahei Explorer.

Thanks for staying with us. We love hearing our guests had happy stay and appreciate your feedback! The Lost Spring is so relaxing after a day checking some of our attractions, a stroll down the street to the cafe's just ticks the box's. Kind regards from the team at Oceans Resort Whitianga.

Ideal for exploring the peninsula
Very spacious accommodation, set out over three levels, well appointed. Almost like a home from home with the staff being very helpful. A problem with the TV was sorted very promptly. Good base for exploring the Coromandel peninsula.

Lovely resort
Booked at last minute an apartment for 2 people. When we arrived we were given a 3storey town house that could have slept 7 people. Well equipped kitchen, outdoor swimming pool,we played tennis on the court for the first time in 20 years. Staff very friendly. And helpful. We would love to go back if we ever return to New Zealand.

Amazing space and funtionality
We had to have accommodation that could cater for our Bayliner power boat and provided an acceptable level of luxury in the apartment. Oceans Resort provided both in abundance, with a special boat washdown area, plenty of parking an space for the boat (6.2m) alongside the unit. The unit was more of a townhouse with large lounge, open plan kitchen and nice bedroom and bathroom. It was just a few minutes walk to the town centre and even less to the waterfront. We had an ocean view as a bonus. We'll be back for sure.
