Oceans Resort Whitianga

What guests think

At Oceans Resort Whitianga, guests consistently praise the spacious apartment-style units and walkable location across from Buffalo Beach, with friendly reception and a warm outdoor pool making it an appealing base for families, couples, and longer stays.

Many apartments span multiple levels with stairs, and several reviews note hot rooms due to limited or absent air conditioning or fans. Cleanliness and maintenance are mostly solid but include occasional issues like ants, missed cleaning, or faulty fixtures, and Wi-Fi can be weak in some units. Overall, it suits travellers seeking self-catering convenience and a relaxed beachside base.

The place was very roomy. It had large living area with clean well apointed kitchen. It was across the street from the ocean. We could park at our door. There was a nice pool. The reception was very helpful and offered us choices of things to to and resturants to visit. We are glad we stayed there. I personally liked the harder beds as too many places have sagging matresses.

We stayed in a 3 bed apartment which was on 3 floors, so several steps! The weather was really hot, and an air con system on the upper sleeping area would have been useful, as the one on the middle floor didn’t cool upstairs. But a great stay, a nice outdoor pool, lovely check in staff. Apartment was really clean and modern, and the resort is a flat walking distance to the shops and restaurants. Also, it’s right next door to the Lost Springs hot pools. We would stay here again if we’re in Whitianga.

Good location all furniture and appliances in #64 should be replaced, bed is really bad, sofas unusable, appliances failing or rusty. Bad chemical smell of maybe deteriorating plastics in living area, suspect coming from filthy plastic holland blinds. Cleaners turned up with attitude on day two because we were still there but we were booked and paid for 3 nights. Sorry could not consider this place again

The property isn’t “beachfront”. The actual apartment you get are owned by different people. We had a small TV with limited channels and the property was not clean.

We had a nice two-night stay in this very spacious accommodation. It was well stocked with kitchen supplies, laundry detergent, and clothesline/pins. Suggested improvements would be more comfortable deck chairs. Our unit did not have a nice view with a tall solid wall on the majority of the side of the deck; however, many of the units did have better views.

Despite the many stairs to get into the condo style accommodation, it was very modern and up-to-date interior. We used the oven to dine in which gave us a relaxing night in. Shower pressure was awesome! The staff was very easy to communicate with and much appreciative of them since we left a grocery bag. They retrieved it for us to pick up at the office.
