The room was excellent having all the required amenities and most of the facilities were quite modern. We loved the thermal pool and it allowed us to relax after a busy day out. The bed was very comfortable and we recommend this property highly!

Felt like home, very large and clean room with small private terrace. Louise is a great host and very helpful. Not to mention the delightful breakfast with lots of fruits prepared by Louise. The Place is very close to the village and the restaurants. Also, we had lots of fun with Messy the dog. We really loved to stay here and we will highly recommend this place to our friends in Malaysia and Switzerland.

Our hosts were amazing people, and we felt like we were part of their family. We are already missing the delicious breakfasts Heather and Don served up each day, better than any hotel. The location was great, an easy walk to restaurants, the wharf and shops, and with a fabulous view of Mercury Bay.

The studio unit was private but has good access to the owner's facilities like the spa and the pool. We were given a BBQ set for our cooking in front of the unit, which was just great! The surroundings have a mature and immaculate garden. Claire and Ralph were welcoming and helpful. I would definitely recommend my friends to stay here at Whangamata.

Beautifully presented, so damn cute. I loved the little touches throughout the cottage. Check in was easy. the kitchen has everything needed, and cupboards full of basics, which was helpful when forgetting items at PaknSave. Cottage is warm during winter, perfect location with a beautiful view of the sea, which btw is the best place to view sunsets. Highly recommend.

This is a large, sunny, very clean house with gorgeous views of the beach, within a 5 minute walk of a grocery store. The beds were super comfortable and the lounge is really large, with plenty of room for a big family - the house has 2 double beds and 3 singles. It has excellent heating too, and a wide deck overlooking the ocean. Located 15-20 mins drive north of Thames. We will definitely stay here again.

Location amazing. Incredible view, right on the beach. Beautiful for a walk in to town for a coffee in the morning. The owners were incredibly welcoming and helpful. Would stay again on next trip to the area, for sure!

Beautiful accommodation. Clean and comfortable. Parking available. Pool and spa pool. Stunning Beach just across the road. Warm welcome at reception by Louise resort manager. My mother, sister, and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We would definitely love to return to Ocean Breeze Resort again in the future. Enjoyable, relaxing, a very memorable holiday for us.

Beach close by with a stunning view of the sunset. A great use of available space and a lovely terrace outside the front doors (sliding).
