Mary's place is fantastic. I woke up around 5:30 a.m. one morning and noticed many campers quietly scurrying about. They were headed for Mt. Mounganui. A two minute walk later and my wife and I were headed the same way. A beach town with a mountain that a novice hiker can summit in about 1 hr 30min (probably less). The food was fantastic, the weather was great, and Mary's apartment is the perfect place to enjoy it all. The place was spotless with a lot of amenities that made out trip more comfotable as if we were back home. The bed was heavenly, hot water was relaxing after a long day at the beach and the washer was an added plus. And what can I say about a glass of wine on the balcony. Perfect! Thank you Mary!
