Wonderful home with a beautiful ocean view
Had a lovely time staying at this property. Owner was warm and helpful, and property was exactly as listed. We had a nice welcome card and chocolates as well. I highly recommend this place as a stop along the windy coastal journey of NZ. Five stars!

Ideallic location with best views
For our family of 4 including a 2 year old, this was the best place to stay. Comfy beds, plenty of bathrooms, best hot tub to end the day with gorgeous views, short walking distance to downtown or to the beach… we enjoyed every minute. Hosts were communicative and kind. Thank you for an amazing stay!

Beautiful Home, fab view. Shame one dishwasher wasn't working but we managed. No shortage of crockery and kitchen stuff. Lucky it was fine weather to get the washing dry as no dryer.Overall very enjoyable and we would definitely return.

Lorraine’s property was spacious with plenty of space and exceptional views. It was handy to town and many walks and cycle trails. The children enjoyed the spa. The house was extremely well equipped. Lorraine was very easy to contact and helpful. We enjoyed our stay.

Thank goodness!
My siblings and family were desperate for this get away and Pacific Heights did not disappoint. We all kept marvelling how perfect the place was - the view was out of this world and thank goodness for the fire and plentiful supply of firewood. Kitchen big enough for several of us to be working together, and the twin sink and dish drawers made it all so easy. The beds were all so comfy and great showers. Turning into the driveway is a bit of a trick until we learned to approach by coming up the hill from the city. We all loved it and will be back. Thanks Pacific Heights, Whakatane.

Wonderful
Wir haben das schöne Haus eine Woche lang genießen dürfen. Es ist sehr schön eingerichtet und entspricht genau der Beschreibung von Lorraine. Den Weg in die Stadt haben wir immer per Auto bewältigt. Die Stadt hat alles was man benötigt. Wir haben schöne Restaurants gefunden für ein Abendessen und die Einkaufsmöglichkeiten waren auch mehr als vorhanden. Wir können das Haus absolut empfehlen und möchten uns hiermit nochmals bei Lorraine für die nette Kommunikation bedanken.

Great views
Lovely spacious property with amazing views! Very well equipped with lots of extras. The only comment would be we were surprised how close we were to the road, it was a bank holiday weekend so the road was busy, not as tranquil as we hoped. Neighbours were also closer than anticipated. Probably not a problem if you live in Auckland but we live really. Overall lovely stay and Lorraine was a pleasure to deal with, very thoughtful!

Wonderful Whakatane
We had a wonderful stay at Whakatane in Lorraine's beautiful house. Everything was perfect and Lorraine was so accommodating. I highly recommend this property, it has everything you could possible need and caters perfectly for larger groups. Thanks Lorraine for everything. The view / house/ accessibility to town / standard of cleanliness and communication was superb. We look forward to booking it again.

Awesome home
This was a fantastic space for two families , it had everything we needed and close to town. The bedding and linen was A+ , as the fireplace and spa pool was too. It was clean and well presented . A dryer would've been the only bonus as we were there in winter sports so struggled with one clothes horse inside,but that certainly wouldn't stop s from returning. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay , thanks.
