read the fine print when you sign in
lots of fees - extra towels, paper goods, etc as an experienced traveler - if they need to cover the costs - raise the room cost and be done with these hidden costs

We had a great stay at Esplanade Apartments, was a shame it was only for 1 night. Great apartment with everything we needed. Terry and Deborah were great and allowed us to check in early with our infant for he could sleep which was awesome. We will definitely be back next time we’re in Whitianga.

The location of the property was great and the pool and spa at the premise was excellent. The room we had was relatively modern but the furniture was a little rundown. There seemed to be a bit of a problem with ants in our apartment, they were everywhere (bathroom/kitchen/ bedroom) even with all of our food put away. This was quite annoying. Apart from that the property was great and the pool was a big hit with our children!
