We spent a few nights in Clair's place. We were there for the Jazz festival and enjoyed the easy short commute between the house and Downtown Tauranga. The sleepout is surprisingly comfortable and has everything we needed. It's quite independent and private. Claire kindly provided some helpful brochures about the local restaurants and cafes. The location was within easy reach of both central Tauranga and Mt Maunganui. Highly recommended for everyone visiting the Mounts:)
