The property was in a great location, close walking distance to the town, cafes, restaurants, shops and all facilities and just over the road to the beach.
The accommodation was very clean and comfortable. We only stayed for two nights but would have been happy to be there for a longer stay. There was plenty of room in the lounge with good access to SKY tv so we could watch that very important rugby match in comfort!
The bed was very comfortable and the ensuite bathroom small but perfectly formed.
The kitchen was well stocked with glasses, crockery and cooking utensils.
There was a balcony with table and chairs and a good view to the sea.
All in all, a good choice of accommodation in Whitianga.
Located opposite Estuary Beach, Harbourside Holiday Park offers an outdoor seasonal swimming pool, a children's playground and a BBQ area with picnic tables.

The apartment was very comfortable with excellent facilities. We felt as though it was home as it was spacious, beautifully decorated and good kitchen facilities, with a comfortable bed and a great view. Location was good and it was very quiet.

Very spacious, lovely furnishings, clean and close to town, yet lovely and quiet. Private outdoor seating area and deck. Fresh orange juice and plenty of milk and boutique condiments. Beautiful breakfast, but why bread in the freezer?

We were down for a funeral so did not get time to explore...
We were down for a funeral so did not get time to explore what was on offer. However we did travel to the waterways and went for dinner with the family and friends who came to the funeral. Lost Springs was the venue which I can imagine would be a very busy place due to the geo thermal spa and restaurant setup they have. Next time we will do the tourist thing which we are very good at!

We really enjoyed our 1 night stay at this gem of a place, set in a lush forest. The surroundings were idyllic, with beautiful vistas over Whitianga town and beach. The bed was superb and breakfast was amazing - more than we could eat with more than 6 types of fruit, yoghurt, bacon & eggs, and mushrooms and tomatoes, toast...... We've never seen such a variety of teas and coffee on offer! Wish we had had more than 1 night to enjoy Beverley and Dave's wonderful hospitality. 10 out of 10!!

We joined a cruise to the Cathedral Cove from Whitianga.
We joined a cruise to the Cathedral Cove from Whitianga. It was very nice and enjoyable. The beach was scenic. It is a small town but with 2 big supermarkets where we can buy fresh local food.
It is a long drive from Auckland. It would be easier if there is car ferry from Auckland east to the Coromandel pennisula.

Whitianga is a beautiful place especially the area we stayed...
Whitianga is a beautiful place especially the area we stayed in being surrounded by the beach. Everything is close by in walking distance. What a bonus. The people are lovely and friendly. We tried the Slice slice baby - pizza place because we seen a lot of people going in and out and now we know why! We also had fish and chips from the shop just next to the pizza and by far the best fish and chips I've had. Fresh and tasty.

Our favourite activity was going on a Cathedral Cove Coast...
Our favourite activity was going on a Cathedral Cove Coast and cave tour with mercury Bay discoveries. Highly recommend getting out on the water.
We enjoyed a dinner at Grace O'Malleys, generous meals at a reasonable price, with a beautiful view.
We enjoyed the closeness to other beaches eg Hahei, Cooks Beach.
We enjoyed taking the ferry across to Ferry landing to explore Flaxmore Bay and other landmarks.
Great Mini Putt golf course , very well kept.
A real 'wow' property with the most beautiful views over Whitianga Bay. Fantastic for two families (which we were effectively with our son and his family) given it was split into two apartments with the main one having enough entertainment space for everyone and a huge balcony. Really nicely appointed and furnished with good bathrooms/en suites and everything you might need in the kitchen. Had a bit of a fight over rooms they were so nice! Great range of toys and stuff in case you needed it.
This place would have to be one of our favourite BnBs we’ve visited in NZ! Nestled into the bank of Brophys Bay, the studio looks onto the gorgeous coastline of Whitianga’s Buffalo Beach.
It has everything we needed for our weekend getaway - Netflix, a comfy bed, outside coffee spot. They also have an outdoor bathtub, a little pathway that leads to the ocean and, the highlight of my morning, home made croissants with butter and jam. They made us feel so welcome and were exceptional hosts.
Apartment was perfect clean, tidy and had all the amenities you need. Favorites was laundry with a dryer. Left with clean clothes no need to do washing when i got home🙂. Although I slept on the couch but it was very comfy, the location is walking distance to everything literally in the center of whitianga. Will definitely stay here again next time I visit whitianga👌
The view is amazing. The apartment located away from the main house is beautifully decorated. It is a dream location and just 5 minutes drive away from Whitianga. The hosts were very nice and very discreet. We enjoyed the quietness and the beauty of the place. The 3 days that we spent there were a dream part of our vacation
Perfect location for a relaxed break. Fun water taxi over to Whitianga which had plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from. The hosts were super helpful and gave us some great recommendations. Great location to pop to cathedral cove and hot water beach. Would love to return for another stop over.
Went for anniversary. Have gone every year the past several years. Secret entrance to lost springs spa, easy 3 minute walk. Staggering distance to town for drinks after. Lovely staff, amazing rooms especially the ocean view apartments. Well worth a visit. One of THE best places to stay in Whiti
Evolve Bach was a lovely place to stay during our visit to Whitianga. We walked everywhere we needed, grocery, laundry mat, restaurants and more. It was an easy drive to Hot Water Beach and Cathedral Cove. Our host was responsive to inquiries and made our stay most enjoyable.
Exceptionally clean. The house has a good size of living, bedroom and toilet. It also comes with top grade coffee. The bed is so comfortable. The host, Jennie, is so detailed with the instructions to ensure we have a good stay.
Better than a 6 stars hotel
Location was amazing !!!
Hired two apartments under different managements for a girls weekend and this one by far was the best !!! Close to the hot springs and better quality. Ocean views. Comfy beds. Very clean and tidy.
Easy check in, friendly and helpful staff, super clean apartments with great amenities. Loved the location for exploring the area. Could not ask for more. Great value and very satisfied! Would highly recommend!
Was pleasantly surprised by this accommodation. The price was cheap for how clean the room was, it was sparkling, and the location. Everything was walking distance and they offered a discount at a local pub.
Stunning property in a brilliant location. Totally charming and helpful hosts, absolutely stunning breakfast! If I ever visit Whitianga again, I wouldn't contemplate staying anywhere else.
