5/5 - Excellent
Wonderful town! Wish we had more time to stay there longer.

If you're spending some time in Maraetotara, Bay of Plenty and Otarawairere Bay are top sights worth seeing.

If you're spending some time in Whakatāne Town, Whakatane Aquatic Centre and Wairere Falls are top sights worth seeing.

Though Coastlands might not have many top sights, you can venture to the surrounding area to see attractions like Wairere Falls and Mataatua: The House That Came Home.

While there might not be top attractions in Poroporo, you can explore the larger area and discover places like Whakatane Aquatic Centre and Wairere Falls.

Air con worked well and extra parking was not a problem.

Nice clean room, didn’t have that overwhelming scent used by many motels. Close to town. They reachers out after I left some things in the room and arranged to have them posted back to me. Really appreciated that!

It was quiet, comfortable & homey. Sadly though, it took a long time for the hot water to heat up, which made it difficult to deal with in the middle of winter. Also wasted a lot of water.

What a piece of paradise, super quiet, spotless and very comfy bed. Hosts were just lovely and we will stay again. Also minutes to the beach where the fish just leap out of the water at your feet (according to host as it happened to him on the day).10/10
