About this property

Rosewood Retreat - Winter Rates , A Tauranga Favorite, convenient location

The retreat has become a favorite for larger groups 4-6 with repeat visitors.

We have now got our winter rates set and our corporate bookings will attract more competitive rates so send us an inquiry.

New Zealand has some of the best value guest accommodation when compared to many countries, the Retreat is close to many NZ attractions and sights and we as owners are only too happy to help plan your trip if you need help on what to visit. Classed as a pretty central North Island hub Tauranga is within 1-2 Hrs of some of the best things NZ can offer.

longer stays are more of the case with groups and corporate teams staying 15-30 days. Used by corporate teams and business for a base while in the bay with extended parking and great facilities.

Some of our guests from overseas stay up to 4 months and our visitors book reflects those longer stays as a home from home.

Our retreat has been an ideal location for all travelers NZ and overseas.
Ideal for wedding groups.

Chill out or gather the 3 bedroom secluded bungalow/ retreat is in a country setting, Mins from the new Crossing Mall, shops and 5-10 Min from Mount Maunganui Beach.

Fernland Spa is only moments away just 2-3 minutes drive and Ideal place to soak after being busy in the bay at open until 10pm most nights.

Leverette Mills Reef Winery now relocated about 20 minutes towards katikati provides some of the best wine tasting available in NZ and the Winery provides that classic cellar location for an afternoon to sample award winning wines.

Large tranquil getaway but close to all city amenities and some of the best beaches in New Zealand. A very large 3 bedroom secluded bungalow that is self contained, down a private road in a country setting
A short walk to a cafe / garden ctr for breakfast or lunch (7 days). An ideal place to be in the BAY.

Two mountain bikes and a double Kayak available.

Peaceful and Convenient

Would definitely come and stay again, we found it very central to where we wanted to travel to and peaceful when we wanted to relax and just enjoy the feel of the semi rural area. It had everything we needed and Steve was very helpful even giving us some fresh eggs from the chickens.

Amazing Stay! Highly Recommend

Myself and my family came down for the week to watch our daughter compete in the AIMS tournament. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the rosewood retreat. The shower is amazing. The property is in a very serene, calm setting which ensured going home after competing everyday we were able to relax and reset. Steve was easily contactable and very accomadating to our needs.Thank you for having us!

First Ever BookABach Stay Disappointing

Overall the property was positioned in a lovely setting and the host made himself easily accessible and attended and assisted us when and if required. The disappointing part was the cleanliness of the kitchen and bathroom. It appeared to us that basic cleaning had been done but the kitchen and bathroom needed a deep clean. We discovered disused takeaway food wrappers in the back of the kitchen cupboard which permeated a terrible smell when opening the cupboards. The stove top and oven were basically clean however the warming drawer was full of food scraps and mold. It was obvious a quick vacuum may have been done but the cobwebs and insects on the ceiling line and the corners of the rooms had been overlooked. There was a vacuum cleaner provided and we vacuum the insects and the cob webs. Additionally in the kitchen area we uplifted the microwave and other bench positioned appliances and cleaned underneath them as it was all very oily/dusty and we found that this along with the takeaway food container items attracted very large undesirable cockroaches. Additionally the knife and fork drawer was dirty. We removed all the utensils and cleaned the drawer liner. We based our booking at this location based on the attractive photographs and the reviews of 10/10 for cleanliness. We believe that the cleanliness review needs to be revised and addressed. We did drawer our concerns to the attention of the host and we believe/hope they will be addressed.

Tauriko property

Comfortable house, suitable for elderly person with poor mobility. Excellent support from property owners whenever there were problems. Doesn't get a lot of sun in winter. The adjacent state highway has heavy traffic, so not comfortable for going for walks from the property. Avoid Tauriko Crossing shopping centre (and that intersection) if you can. Easy to get to and from McLaren Falls park which is a lovely destination.

Tranquil and Tidy stay in Tauriko

A short stay in Tauriko

Location was excellent, a good place in the city but out of it far enough to give a country side feeling. Being off Cambridge road meant navigation around the toll road was easy. The large TV was excellent as was the link with the internet etc. Very quiet, very restful. The host was very genial.

About the host

Hosted by steve

Host profile image
I am well traveled and love to share our property with visitors to our region. In our early 50's but teenagers at heart.

Both from overseas , China and Uk we offer English, Mandarin and Cantonese language.

Both business people with a wide background .

love sea fishing, camping, motorbiking and general outdoors freedom of walking cycling and hiking. Happy to share insights to local and NZ attractions.

Why they chose this property

As part of our family property we developed the bungalow from a new building constructed in 2013. We converted this building in Feb 2019, to a large 3 bedroom and modern accommodation bungalow featuring the latest in appliances decor and all new furniture etc.
Its pretty special and sits in a quiet part of our property away form the main house.

What makes this property unique

We are close to the new cycleway and over bridge.
The new Tauranga Crossing mall opened in April 2019 with the largest event cinema , restaurants and shops including H&M.

Moments from hotpools and spas, our location gives privacy but accessibility to all the bay has to offer without having to move to other towns in the region. A great base to explore the bay, including, Coromandel Taupo, Rotorua, Hamilton and the Eastern Bay.

Avocado's and Kiwifruit are on the menu and home of some of New Zzealands best food brands including Comvita and Zespri
