I stayed for a week to be near family and visit them. AWA WHAKATANE have Very high standards in housekeeping of rooms. Bedding changed every two days. Parking beside the building was convenient. Perhaps if building allows, a lift for cases could be installed to ease manhandling suitcases up the stairs. ( My room was on the 1st floor)
