Our family (2 adults & 11 yr old) spent 8 days here and we loved the place! It is located right at the foot of Mount Maunganui and there is so much to do when you walk right out of the gate - hiking, swimming, cafes, scootering, etc.
The place itself is stocked with everything you would need for your stay. We found it to be clean and well organized. The patio was our favorite place to hang out.
Our host was excellent! They kindly accommodated a couple special requests of which we are grateful and responded promptly to our questions leading up to our stay.
We are looking forward to staying here again when we are back in NZ.
