"We loved your house. Best place we have stayed on our trip to NZ. The beach access was wonderful. Beautiful sunset walk, we were the only ones out there besides a man "walking" his dog on a quad. :-) The house had everything we needed to enjoy a great, relaxing vacation. We wished we had booked more nights! Will recommend to others. Thank you!"  
Matt & Stacey David CA, USA, June 2011

"Thank you very much! We realy enjoyed our stay and wish we could have stayed even longer. It is a beautiful spot here."  
Anyika Thomsen, Taumarunui, June 2011

"We had a fantastic weekend at the Coastal Haven. Enjoyed the peace and quiet and views of the beach. We had all sorts of weather but thoroughly  enjoyed our time. Many thanks."  
Glen and Rhonda Foote, Tokoroa, June 2011

"The location is perfect and the property is gorgeous and in top condition. I would be happy as a travel agent to reccommend it to anyone travelling areound the North Island. Thank you for your hospitality. Dianne's relaxed and friendly manner made it even more enjoyable."  
Vasanthy Weber, Narangba, Australia, June 2011

"Thanks heaps for an awesome abode. Everything was great: view, facilities and the welcoming committee! Will definitely use this again as well as refer it to other friends and family"  
Jay Te Tuhi, Porirua, April 2011

"What a great 3 days we have had. This would have to be one of the best places we have ever stayed in. So quiet and peaceful with great sea views. As the Beach Boys said, "Never mind the rain, we had a great time". We will be staying here whenever we are back in Whakatane"  
Max and Audrey Wilson, Porirua, March 2011.

"Relaxing and therapeutic, beautiful seaviews, we're coming back again"  
Diana Neru, Gisborne, March 2011.

"We enjoyed staying in your lovely villa. Nice and Clean. A warm welcome on arrival. We will recommend it to friends and family. Thank you so much"  
Fred and Ada Corbee, The Netherlands, February 2011.

"Our family of three enjoyed our stay at Coastal Haven. This place is ideally suited for two couples or a grown family as the bedrooms are situated at either end of the property. View directly out to the sea. Private and peaceful with great deck looking out to the sea. Thanks"  
The DeMaret Family, France, January 2011.

"Very impressed by your villa, its really lovely. The pictures on the internet do not do it justice. Love the beautiful views of the beach"  
Bill, Carey-Ann, Caitlin and Liam Largue, Perth Australia, January 2011.

"We loved it here - just what we needed to unwind and get over our jet-lag. Loved sitting on the deck gazing out to sea. Great walks on the beach and in Whakatane. Everything in the house was great - nice to have it cleaned part way through our stay too - thanks. You have struck the right balance as hosts between being helpful - but not intrusive - great to have you on site just in case we needed to ask anything. Woud love to come back, and will certainly recommend this lovely place. Thanks very much"
Louise, Richard, Alice and Ben Gormley, Essex United Kingdom, December 2010.

"Many thanks for a perfect stay. We have had a wonderful eight days. Best wishes."  
Heather & Mark - Berkshire, United Kingdom, September 2010

"Thank you so much for the beautiful accommodation. We wish we were staying here longer....thanks again."  
Danny & Jess - Sydney Australia, September 2010

"We stayed at Whakatane at the end of April, 2010, and found it to be delightful.  Immaculately clean and neat, with a short field walk to the pounding surf - it had all the mod cons we always hope for when we rent.  Dianne and her family made us welcome, gave us good tips for walks, etc, and generally made us feel very much at home during our stay. We recommend this location very highly."  
Suzanne - Nepean, Ontario, Canada, Apr 2010

"We wanted to say thank you for staying at your awesome place. travelling in New Zealand by camper van or car is different every day. Sometimes you hit a good place, sometimes not. But meeting people as welcoming and friendly as you are who run a place so nicely like this with love and care is seldom and rare. We had a fantastic stay and can only propose your accommodation to others. We would love to stay longer and might return if time allows us to. It was the best place we hit so far during our trip. Have a great end of summer, take good care."  
Kassandra, Max and Arp - Wiesbaden, Germany, Mar 2010

"Four of us had a fabulous three day stay.  The house is cozy and well situated.  Dianne and her son (and dog!) are wonderful hosts, and very anxious to please.  I would heartily recommend this accommodation!"  
Bill - Corrales, New Mexico, USA, Mar 2010

"When our motel booking fell through, the Visitors Centre suggested this spot.  What luck!  The villa was in perfect condition and the quiet, peaceful location was superb.  We ate our dinner on the verandah looking out to sea and while we sipped the last of our wine after sunset we watched the half moon shine on the waters while the clouds dissipated and re-formed.  Idyllic!  On one morning we walked down to the end of the property and along the beach.  Dianne was both very pleasant and helpful.  She booked our flight out to White Island and guided us through some WiFi problems.   We have no hesitation in highly recommending this place!"  
Denis and Margaret - Adelaide, Feb 2010
 

"We had a lovely two night stay here. The location is ideal for a quiet weekend or mid-week break. The villa is just a short stroll to the beach & a few minutes drive to the center of Whakatane. The BBQ area is ideal for a Kiwi Style feed. The beds are comfy and you will wake to the sound of the ocean. If you are visiting Whakatane to try & catch a glimpse of Moko, you couldn't go far wrong with this holiday house."  
Stephen and Yvette - Hamilton, Feb 2010

"We really enjoyed our stay. We decided that Coastal Haven would be especially enjoyable for two couples to spend a week. The villa is comfortable and very well equipped, the view across to White Island tremendous and the pillows the stuff dreams are made of!  It is a really nice combination of a private secluded setting with access to town just a few minutes drive away. Lots of things to do in the area as well."  
Margaret and Tony - Christchurch, Feb 2010

"What a lovely place to stay for the perfect get away. We spent a week there and it was no where long enough. Very helpful and friendly owners. Private beach access with few other people around. We have no hesitation in recommending to others."
Rosemary Meikle - Wellington, Jan 2010

"Dianne and Darrin are excellent hosts, providing local information and anything you require BUT at the same time giving you the privacy you want. Thank you for a memorable stay, we will definitely be recommending your beautiful place to others. See you soon."
Julia and Dane

"
Great hosts and fantastic unit with panoramic sea views, thank you. We booked in for one night and stayed for two, would have stayed longer if had not been booked by others, will come again."

Kuaotunu, Dec 09

"Very impressed with the set up & layout of the accommodation.  Wonderful large deck for enjoying the sun & fantastic sea views.  Great water pressure, which is always a must for getting rid of the sea salt after a day at the beach.  Good to find a place that has down to earth hosts & service with a smile.  Look forward to visiting again."
Kim & Doug - Putaruru, NZ

Myself and my family spent a weekend in October at your villa.

We found the setting and accommodation outstanding.  You have made available a unique slice of New Zealand. Waking to the sound of the waves and birdlife was beautiful.  The villa was extremely comfortable and well thought out.  Everything we could have possibly needed was available. The large deck caught the sun all day with an uninterrupted view over the ocean.

There is no doubt that we will be returning to spend further time at Coastal Haven.
Joe and Nicki - Tauranga, NZ, Oct 09
