Comfortable stay, spotless place

We had a very comfortable 2 night stay at Brian’s place. We were a family of four, three adults and one toddler under 2. Everything we needed for our stay was available esp kitchen amenities. The house is beautiful with a well maintained lovely garden, and a short drive away from Mount Maunganui. Highly recommend!

Stunning Cottage and grounds

Sandy was there to meet us, Brian came over later to check we were ok. As their card says "Home away from Home" and it surely was. The gardens are incredible, all Sandy's work.

Quiet and peaceful

I was looking for a house to stay in, which could also accommodate my Mum who lives in a resthome in Tauranga. Devon Cottage was perfect. Quiet and clean with a lovely garden (I loved the lemons!). I hope to stay again on my next trip. Thanks!
