All you need and everything you want

We had an amazing stay. The house is equipped with everything you need to feel like a home away from home. It’s a super quick walk to the beach so the location is the cherry on top. We hope to stay again in the future.

Homely home.

The house was very comfortable and exactly what we needed for a long weekend and it would be even better for a longer holiday. I would love to go back in the future. It was well equipped for holiday needs with shops and cafes within easy distance.

Relaxing and a wonderful stay

We stayed over the Matariki long weekend, and it was a great location. Every year the three of us guys decide on a different location to relax and enjoy the sun. We're glad we chose this property as it had everything we needed, stone throw from the beach, shops close by, warm, good size house with two bathrooms. Anna also catered for our early check in plus made sure the gas on the bbq was full as we do a lot of bbq's haha. Fantastic property.

Paradise in Papamoa

We had a 4 night stay here in April. We loved staying a wee bit away from the city center but still accessible. We had 2 older teens with us so made the most of climbing the Mount, mini golf in Tauranga, 10 pin bowling in Tauranga, shopping and the movies at Bayfair and shopping the the local Fresh Choice for food supplies. This house was spacious with 2 bathrooms so one for the teens and one for the parents! Well presented. Fully recommend.
