Coastal Chalet Suites Whangaroa

There was no breakfast but we knew that before we went. It was a lovely place to stay on a winters night as there was a compliant wood burner which kept us cosy, there was plenty of dry wood available, but only one match which created a bit of an challenge the next night, but we improvised. The bed was to die for, linen lovely and spotlessly clean, pillows were dreamtime soft, the shower was fine, couldn't find a plug for the hand basin though which made shaving a bit of a trick, but when you are on holiday who cares. The instructions to access the place were extremely good, we didn't meet either Emma or Walter, but I spoke with Walter and he is the sort of guy you take an instant liking to. He was very helpful. The bathroom, kitchen, bed and fridge were all spotlessly clean.

There is a feeling of age in the chalet, could be time for a refurb, the windows were in need of a clean as were the ceilings.

Peacefulness and seclusion

nothing

No refrigerator

Beds were good, nice locality, spacious

So hot. We couldn’t cool the house with the very inadequate fans. They were noisy and seemed to be heating the house. The showers surged hot and cold all the time. The key didn’t work in the back door. Not even any salt or pepper provided. Shocked that we had to pay so much for the washing machine. For that price we expected more.
