Located on the Esplanade, 2 minutes' walk from Whitianga wharf and ferry and 5 minutes' walk from the main shopping and restaurant area, Nana Glads Accommodation Whitianga boasts beachfront views.

Some of the rooms have access to a shared deck area.

The location is amazing, overlooking the bay, but very near to boat tours and town. The room has everything you need for self-catering, and the large balcony is a really nice bonus. The room is quite full of furniture so there is really no where to put your suitcase, but if you stay for a few days, the dresser is useful for that.

    The apartment was absolutely beautiful with amazing facilities its was so comfortable with great full kitchen, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. The beds were comfortable and the power shower was excellent. It was spotlessly clean and right next to the beach and the town centre. Free parking for two cars in their underground car park. We stayed a few nights and one of the nicest places we stayed. The staff were also lovely and gave some great tips of places to go

    Ross was a very helpful host even before our arrival because I mixed up booking dates and he sorted it out. We also had an upgrade to a unit most convenient for us. The owner was friendly and informal. The motel is an older style, but clean and has essential stuff for a short stay. Walking distance to the town centre. The bed was very soft but comfortable for me. Car parking right outside the unit. Good value for money.
