Couldn't fault this- hope to stay again!! We loved the first floor unit- very clean and awesome view. The service was friendly and couldn't have asked for better. Top recommendation in whitianga for actually having unobstructed sea views

Loved the location and patio to our ground floor one bed unit. Plenty of space and well equipped kitchen area. A little odd to walk in through the bathroom, but not a problem. Easy walk to main tourist area for restaurants, ferry, boat trips etc. Helpful hosts are knowledgable about the area and have equipment available, like spades for hot... More

When visiting Whitianga, this is the motel to stay. It is just 10 minutes from the town. The room we stayed-in was very clean and well maintained. The beds were comfortable. The kitchnette was clean and well equipped with plates, glasses and utensils. Lots of sockets to charge your devices. The bathroom looks brand new and comes complete with amenities... More

This was our first accomodation on our trip to New Zealand. Found this on Trip Advisor and the positive reviews were bang on. Great location, right across the street from Buffalo Beach on lovely Mercury Bay and only a short walk to downtown shops & restaurants. Our self-catering unit was on the ground floor with a patio in front with... More

Spent 4 nights in early February 2013 at this excellent motel. Although not a new place it has been upgraded very well and is most comfortable,very clean and with marvellous views of Mercury Bay. In easy walking distance of Whitianga centre. We very much enjoyed our stay and would go again.

Arrived there after slight car accident (left side of road driving)..managers (who were subbing for regular owners) were wonderful..helpful and sympathetic. Wonderful well equipped studio..with terrace and great views of the water. Only downside was on a busy road..but noise and cars mostly blocked by terrace. Spent lovely 3 nights there..recommend.

Very sorry to hear of the car accident, lucky it was minor and did not detract from your stay at the Oceanside. Great to hear you enjoyed the upstairs Executive Studio, we would love to host you again. More

A beautifully decorated apartment on the beach front with a lovely sandy beach in front. The owner was very helpful suggesting places to visit in the area and our stay was really relaxing. Wish we could have stayed longer.

We stayed in this lovely motel in January for four days. We had a fantastic time. The apartment was comfortable, spotlessly clean and convenient, with views to die for!
