We stayed in one of the unusual/unique container style rooms with an allocated parking space. Ours was upstairs. The room was new, spacious and well equiped. It is a very short walk to the shops, restaurants and waterfront of Whakatane. Friendly helpful person on reception. Definitely recommend staying here.
