We spent a week at this Airbnb and loved every minute of it. Cindy is a very responsive host and a very thoughtful one at that, there were those little touches that made our holiday extra special. The house itself is immaculate, tastefully decorated, clean, spacious and pretty much had everything we required including 2 living areas. The garden is well kept and private. We were lucky as we got to make use of their brand new spa which was a perfect ending to a busy day. The neighborhood is very quiet and is nice for a morning/evening stroll with plenty of playgrounds and parks. It is ideal for families with children. The locals are very friendly too. The Crossing shopping centre is only 5 mins drive away and had a Pak 'n Save, Warehouse, Farmers and a whole heap of other well known stores, not to mention cafes/restaurants. Mt Maunganui and Papamoa Beach are about 10-15 mins drive away using the toll road. Overall we felt the location was good. We would definitely stay here again!
