Built in 2007, The Esplanade Apartments provide affordable self-contained accommodation with a swimming pool and spa. We are ideally situated within easy walking distance of the beach, restaurants, cafes, wharf and the town centre.
We both grew up in Whitianga and even though we have spent years away, we have always called Whitianga home, visiting as often as we could. We would love to have the opportunity to show you why we love the place so much.
Whitianga offers a wide range of attractions and activities. Fishing, boating, tramping, golfing, flying, sailing, swimming are all within 5 minutes of The Crow's Nest Apartments. The world renowned Lost Spring is virtually just around the corner and there is a wide range of cafes and restaurants to choose from. Not far away is the famous Cathedral Cove and Hot Water Beach where you can dig your own hot pool.
