Crow's Nest Apartments
While this three-level apartment-style accommodation bears little resemblance to a ship's lookout, it does provide a handy and comfortable base from which to explore the area. Apartments have decks (balconies) and large windows facing out to the ocean, and the furnishings are modern but fairly standard (the color white dominates). However, this is ideal if you are spending a few days in town, due to each unit having its own kitchen, microwave, and dishwasher. There are also larger units for families. If you're not preparing your own dinner, Whitianga's restaurants are a short stroll away.
