About this apartment rental

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 a spacious & comfortable, 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment - sleeps 4 guests. Location right next to the CBD makes it an extremely convenient place to stay.
While more suited to adult accommodation, families with well-behaved and supervised children are welcome.

With over 100m2 there is enough room for everyone to be comfortable. The balcony area allows you to catch the early morning sun, sit back and take in the view to Moutohora/Whale Island, Ohinemataroa/the river and the harbour entrance.

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.

There are 5 local golf courses in the Eastern Bay of Plenty within a 30ish min drive from WARU. Fishing, diving, kayaking and sightseeing information and tours are available from the Information Centre which is less than a minute walk away as is Moutohora Island Tours available from Pee Jays. The wharf and passenger pick up places are only a short walk from WARU.

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.

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.

Would thoroughly recommend this wonderful holiday apartment. Shelly welcomed us on arrival and gave us all the information we needed. The apartment is exquisitely furnished yet homely and very comfortable. Brilliant location, right on the waterfront and close to all the shops in Whakatane.
