Service was excellent and the room clean and tidy. However, the plumbing noise from adjoing and upstairs rooms was really loud. We also turned our fridge off as it was very noisy. The walls seem paper thin, with coughing from next door waking us, and footsteps upstairs thudding constantly. Some serious sound proofing work would be required before we would stay here again, which with the wonderful location is sad.

Response from Patrick O'Sullivan, General Manager at White Island Rendezvous
Responded 18 Apr 2022
Kia ora Lisa, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm pleased to hear that you enjoyed some aspects of your stay. I'm very sorry to hear that the noise from the room upstairs disturbed your enjoyment. I can see that you were in one of our four Budget Studios. Unfortunately despite noise proofing being carried out on these rooms, we were unable to mitigate it completely. We are aware of this and this is why we have classified these rooms as "Budget" and priced accordingly. We do try to be as upfront as possible about this and on our website we state "We've classed these rooms as budget as they can be a little noisier than our other rooms." We have a total of 39 rooms and many different room types available so do hope that you may try staying with us again in the future but in a different room type. I would recommend either a Deluxe Studio or one of our Micro-village Cabins as they are standalone and don't have any shared walls. I hope overall your visit to Whakatāne was enjoyable and wish you safe travels. Ngā mihi, Patrick

Very friendly & helpful staff & Comfortable accommodation that was in a great location to explore the area by foot. We stayed in one of the micro-village cabins & travelled in a group of people on motorbikes who also stayed in other cabins as well as the motel rooms. Having the cafe on site was also super handy. Thanks for the welcoming stay away from home :)

Our group of ten booked three units here, all different sorts - and were all VERY happy with the accommodation. The customer service right from time of booking to check in and during our stay was tops. Great to have the small cafe on site too

We stayed in one of the new stand alone cottages, which was very spacious, very new, and well setup. It was extremely clean, lovely big bed, and little deck out the front to sit in the sun. The bonus was the cafe in the front, a few meters from coffee in the morning, and the food was of excellent quality. the location was excellent, just a few minutes walk into town to restaurants and bars. Across the road from the water.

We had booked 2 nights in a micro unit and were looking forward to a weekend away. First day off on 28 days. We arrived and despite having a confirmation from booking.com we were told they had our booking for the following 2 days. We showed them the confirmation and they then said they didn’t know what had happened and after over half an hour of looking at their computer they offered us an upstairs motel room for the same price. Not what we paid for, not what we booked and not good enough. So after 1 night we checked out. Weekend ruined, would not recommend.
