Spacious group accommodation for families, friends and groups
Group trips are easier when everyone has space to spread out and come together. Sovereign Pier On The Waterways offers spacious apartment-style villas set directly on the Whitianga waterways, with Mercury Bay close by.
Gather around the dining table, then retreat to the balcony or patio for a quiet read when you need a breather. Every villa is self-contained, with a full kitchen, private outdoor space and outdoor dining, so meals, board games and early nights do not rely on restaurant bookings.
The gated complex also makes a real difference for families, with room for children to scooter and play within the grounds. With a pool, spa and tennis court on site, plus marina access, each day can be as busy or as relaxed as you like.

Large waterfront villas for group stays
The villas are positioned to make the most of the waterway setting, with water views part of the daily rhythm and sunsets a regular talking point. Choose from one, two, or three-bedroom options.
Two and three-bedroom villas include a second bathroom, as well as an ensuite for the main bedroom, helping mornings run more smoothly for families and mixed groups.
Bed configurations vary across the villas, with king, queen, and single beds available depending on the unit. Open-plan living areas and dining tables with six chairs make group meals easy.
Guests often comment on the space once they arrive, with many saying they would have stayed longer had they realised how roomy the villas are.
