The hosts were very friendly and the property was superb!!!

Steven New Zealand

Thank you Halina for organising the baby stuff for us. You made the trip so much easier. Thank you again for your warm hospitality! The house was tastefully decorated and it looked just like the photos on booking.com. It really was a great stay

Anna New Zealand

A self-contained suite with our own entrance, we had an outside patio with lounge chairs and table with umbrella to enjoy the outside. There was a path to the beach, beautiful sand and you could walk for miles. The bed was super comfortable with lovely sheets and lots of pillows, the towels were luxurious, the attention to detail by Halina in decorating as well as hospitality warmed our hearts. The delicious fruit salads included in the continental breakfast included kiwi and often, pomegranates- so delicious and appealing. The spacious living area and small kitchen space is conducive for a long stay- hope that is possible in future years!

It is a perfect destination and place to relax after a lot of travels around NZ. Special thank you to host Halina and her husband, who made this place so comfortable and tranquil. Highly recommend!

Mariia Ukraine

Beautiful beach setting, large well organized, beautifully decorated space, king sized bed with crisp cool white bedding. Warm welcoming hospitality. Walking distance to dining and shopping.

Doug United States of America

Gorgeous! Amazing people and breakfast was delicious

Rachel Iceland

This is a complete unit in the downstairs of a very large house. It is superb in every way, very spacious, beautiful decor and furnishings, large bedroom and excellent bathroom with very good shower. It is right on the beach and has inside and outside living. There is an outside table with a very sturdy umbrella plus 2 lounging chairs and 2 other chairs. It is one of the very best places we have stayed in and totally private. The breakfast is delicious, a large serving of fresh fruit and then choice of cereals, toast and accompaniments, plus freshly squeezed orange and filtered water and the normal coffee/tea etc. The property is a 15 minute walk to Bayfair Mall with new restaurants now there and a 30 minute walk to the Mount. The owners are delightful and extremely helpful. Excellent value for money, would highly recommend.

Marjorie New Zealand

Just in front of the beach. Easy access to the apartment and lovely treats for breakfast and / or any other meal.

We are absolutly on the beach with a private beach access over flat sandhills and only 20 seconds walk to the water. There is no road to cross, you are literally on the beach. This place is looking to relax in a quiet location for luxury and privacy, then this is the place. No traffic noise. This luxury ground floor apartment is centrally located for Bayfair Shopping Mall with everything you need only 10 minutes walk with various Alfresco dining just opened restaurants. There is Baywave swimming complex across the road from the Mall with a waterslide, a wave pool and lap pool swimming. We are 10 minutes drive to Mount Maunganui shops , cafes and restaurants. Only 15 minutes drive to walk up and around our beautiful Mount with surrounding cafes and restaurants.
We love travelling, enjoying new cultures and meeting new people. Our greatest joy is sharing experiences of travel with people. We enjoy sport and I am active each day with walking, running swimming and cycling.
We have several favourite cafes very nearby that we can recommend. One is only a 15 minute walk along the beach then up to the cafe for a latte or a cappucinno and then a walk back. There is also Imbibe Bar and restaurant for lunch or dinner only 10 minutes walk away. A huge shopping mall is also only 10 minutes walk in the same direction and 4 minutes in the car with new 5 restaurants outside the mall for you to choose. There is a Japanese, Mexican, Vietnamese restaurant as well as many others. Plus many more or you may want to go out into Mount Maunganui main street for restaurants and shops only 10 minutes away by car. I can recommendvmany for uou.There is a muzeum in Tauranga only 20 minutes drive away. Hobbiton Movie Set visit is only 45 minutes away. Waitomo Caves only 1 hour and 56 minutes away. Rotorua is only 1 hours drive away from us and you can comfortably do a day drip from us.
