We needed a room on the ground floor at short notice as I am currently on crutches, they were so helpful and nice and we got a lovely disabled friendly studio. Everything was new, very clean, large and cosy. I can't thank everyone enough. There is also a good restaurant in the building, which we really enjoyed.

The accommodation is located about 400m from the beach. One sleeps there very quietly. The equipment, especially the kitchen, is complete. It is very spacious. The price-performance ratio is very good. The hosts took great care of us, as it rained about 80% of the time during our stay. They recommended a trip with a miniature railway ("Awakeri Rail Adventures"). There we were alone with the operator Paul, because of the weather. Afterwards, if it rains, you can go to the "Hot Pools" in Awakeri. The outdoor seating, which is covered, should be mentioned positively against the background of rainy weather. All in all, we had lovely days in this accommodation, despite the weather.

Everything was great and well thought out. The hosts were respectful and polite when we did see each other. The location was easy to find. The accommodation had everything I needed, right down to small things like salt. The hosts have really thought about the comfort of their guests and I truly enjoyed my stay there. 100% would recommend this accommodation.

    Lovely little town with everything you might need shop wise.

    Lovely little town with everything you might need shop wise. A hop, skip and a jump to Ohope beach which is absolutely gorgeous. Awateri trains an absolute must activity. Took our kids to the Awateri hot pools which were okay. Probably would not stay at camp ground. We stayed at Riverside camping ground which was great.

    Whakatane is a beautiful place with beaches and heaps to see and do. But got rudely woken by the cleaner who made a heck of a noise vacuuming and banging table and chairs around at 5am, seriously I wasn't a happy camper.

    Whakatane is a great place to visit.

    Whakatane is a great place to visit. For the holiday makers there are alot of things that will keep you busy in the area. Walks, shopping, swimming, fishing, sight seeing, eating to name a few. Take a trip to Whale Island or a fishing trip on the local charter boat. Drive 10 minutes over the hill to the safest beach for swimmers at Ohope beach, walk over to Otawairere Bay for a dip using the beautiful bush track. Or just relax, visit the public pool, cinema, library, museum or a cafe for a great coffee. Accomodation can be found easily in the town, Awa Motel being my favourite place to stay with walking distance to town for entertainment, food and drinks or just for wandering around. Beautiful family area down the very furtherest end on the main street where you will find a play ground for the kids, a place to paddle and plenty of grass to lay out fish n chips or a picnic. You name it...Whakatane has it. Come and enjoy.

    It was warm and sunny throughout our visit and the people we met were welcoming. We enjoyed walking along the riverside embankment and were impressed by how well cared for it was. All picnic and play areas were very well maintained too.

    What a nice and clean town. Everyone was friendly. Sadly, it was very quiet but had a great dinner and breakfast in town! We enjoyed the golf cart railway trip we had booked. So, all in all nice weekend!

    Gibbons take aways best fresh fish and chips we’ve had in ages quantity and quality plus value for money. The town is well structured to drive around locals super friendly and helpful. It has an old style kiwi feel that is becoming a thing of the past I’m so greatful to witness and experience this true old school style kiwi way of life still alive and well in Whakatāne what a bonus.

    We had to rent two cabins - one with bunks and one single studio to fit our family of 5 as other options were booked out. That worked well as we could use the facilities in the studio for our whole family. Kids loved the pool - only complaint was it wasn't open later at night. Overall, pretty clean and tidy options. All walkable to Whakatane centre via walkway, gardens, or nearby streets. Nice environment. No rowdy evenings or super early starts from nearby campers.

    Everything from being greeted and welcomed at the front desk to leaving the next day. I would recommend The Landing Motel to others. I loved the spa, nice touch in our room,my mum had her own room and she said she was super comfortable and honestly did not want to leave. The hotel teallh made an impression on her. To be honest this was my mums first motel stay and what better location to stay for the first time than at The Landing Motel.
