Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Lovely, clean home with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and quiet location. Great access to shopping, eating, walking, and vising the beach.
Comfortable and stylish apartment with excellent access to the beach. Particularly liked the wall prints. There are lots of great places to eat and it was a great base for the Bay of Plenty.
We booked Bask apartments as they were close to the sports fields for a tournament we were attending. The accommodation was superb. Great communication with host. Within walking distance to everything you need, clean, modern, great amenities and the most comfortable beds. Highly recommend, would definitely stay again.
