Whitianga is a great town...

Liked: The view, the location and beach were all great, but the facility was not worth the $ 1074 we paid for three nights. We had asked for a ground level executive suite with a spa tub . but instead had to settle for a ground level apartment with no air conditioning and spa tub , and no reduction in the price. All the executive suites are up a steep flight of stairs which my wife cannot negotiate.Our host was very apologetic, and explained because we had booked through Booking .com there was little he could do but offer us the apartment we settled on. We were very grateful and had a lovely stay. Now that we know what to expect we have no problem in booking with Oceanside Motel again as the location is suberb , right across from the beach.
Disliked: An explanation of the difference between the downstairs and upstairs apartments, and the fact that there is stairs associated with the property, and that we could have got it at a cheaper rate
