Honestly perfect stay, exceeded expectations! Water pressure is great which is such a specific plus for me, so many things for use in the toy box/garage. Didn’t feel like we went without anything during our stay. Excited to come back!

The location was very handy to the work we were doing at Baypark Arena. Although it's only a few hundred metres away, even in busy days, it took about 7 min to get there. Much better than staying on Tauranga city. Close to beach and cafes. Thank you
