Situated in Whitianga, Albert Mews B and B offers accommodation with an en suite and patio. Free WiFi and daily continental breakfast is included.

The room is equipped with a flat-screen TV and coffee machine. In the adjoining breakfast room you will find a refrigerator, jug and toaster.

Had a very warm welcome and some suggestions where to have dinner. Jocelyn and Murray were super friendly and the room was very nice with the opportunity to have breakfast (or generally sit) "outside". Comfortable bed, nice bathroom, very nice breakfast. We couldn't wish for anything more. Overall they put a lot of noticeable effort into it - high quality towels in the bathroom (ones you would buy for yourself at home), local honey/marmelade for breakfast, nice soap, etc. We loved it here and would definitely recommend staying here!

You will enjoy the renovations upgrading your suites to a more boutique offering. Superior beds, furniture and decor will offer some luxuries. The small sun drenched deck and garden outside the Oceans 88 suites is ideal for your morning coffee. Then venture out for the day and explore Mercury Bay’s activities and glorious scenery. Come home and relax by the pool with a cold one.

Very nice place with pool and whirlpool, you can take the kayaks to explore the bay. It’s super closed to the harbour and we enjoyed the views from the pool area, where you have tables and sunbeds and a cosy lounge area. Everything was clean and neat. Ken (the host) was very friendly. He gave us some advices where to go and he even brought our forgotten stuff to the post office, so we got everything back! We really appreciate that :)

At Parkland Place features a quiet location next to an estuary and farmland, a 5-minute walk from Brophy and Buffalo Beaches. It offers continental breakfast, barbecue facilities and an in-house massage service. Free parking and free Wi-Fi access are provided.

Due to space limitations at my place (500 mtrs up the road) We arranged my parents to stay there for two nights and they loved it, loved their wonderful host, Maria. As the place was not that full at that time Maria invited my wife and I to join my parents for a free breakfast together. It was a real pleasure to vist where they where staying and meet Maria.

    The apartment was very spacious and had a balcony which offered a view of the sea in the distance. The open plan kitchen was very well equipped. We liked the fact that there was a washing machine and drier in the property, as well as off road parking, and its close proximity to the marina meant that we didn’t have far to go for local bars, restaurants and activities.

    We had a room next to a kitchen and sitting room so it was good to have that space for self catering. There are picnic style tables outside the rooms. The lodge is in a quiet setting. Whitianga itself is a great spot to explore the region. We enjoyed a boat trip to Cathedral Cove - highly recommend.
