2 Bedroom Apartment in Whakatane

Quietly tucked away around the corner from the i-Site, WARU is an exclusive sub penthouse apartment (with lift access) which has stunning views of the river & ocean and a lovely outlook towards the native bush and the CBD.

WARU is as close as you can get to the river and CBD. What this means is that within minutes you can walk to cafes, restaurants, shops, the movie theatres, children’s parks and much more. In fact with Roquette Restaurant directly downstairs you don't even need to leave the building for coffee, lunch or dinner (except on Sunday). Two secure car parks are also available. Make sure to pack your walking shoes!
The kitchen is very well equipped if you prefer to cook. The dining and living areas are open plan and very comfortable. The smart TV with Freeview and Sonos allows you to listen to music, most radio stations in the world, watch Netflix, DVDs or surf the net. Complimentary Wi-fi is part of the package.
Both bedrooms are tastefully furnished with quality beds, linen and towels. The main bedroom has delightful views of Moutohora Island, Ohinemataroa River and beyond toward the harbour entrance. It also has a walk-through wardrobe to an ensuite bathroom.
The twin room has views to the bush clad hills, the waterfall, both lookouts and into the CBD. Books, toys and games can be found on the bookshelf for both children & adults to enjoy.
The main bathroom is located next to this bedroom & also includes a washing machine and dryer.
The beautiful & best loved Ohope Beach is only a 10 min drive away.

Summary: Wonderful, friendly hostess who went the extra mile to ensure our stay was memorable. Beautiful location overlooking the river, handy to all amenities with a top restaurant on the ground floor. Spacious, airy apartment had everything you needed with super comfortable bed and living areas, well equipped kitchen and laundry facilities and lots of extras - books, puzzles, even some home baking and snacks. Our favourite place to stay and can't wait to return. Excellent value for money.

Summary: The property was excellent. Easily the best we have stayed in. But we will not use Book a Bach again. The process of booking was difficult if not nearly impossible for us oldsters. We were on the point of giving up when the 7th or 8th try we finally got the booking done.
