Stunning oasis with all the elements of a luxury resort. This Airbnb stay deserves to be listed in the Plus collection of exceptional homes. Just as an outstanding home is much more than the sum of exceptional furniture, architecture, art, and location- Christine and Stephen give this Airbnb home that certain je ne sais quoi that may happen once in every 30 or so Airbnb houses, if you are lucky to have that at all.
No detail has been to small or overlooked by Christine. Sure, it truly is sparkling clean, has that sleek modern coastal decor, a full range of quality pillows for the perfect night's sleep, fresh seasonal flowers in the bedrooms and the most beautiful bathroom I have seen during my last 3 month sojourn across the entire North and South Islands of New Zealand- even topping all of the 5+ star resorts I have stayed in. The perfect bath tub.
If you had asked me where I would have purchased a home in New Zealand 5 years ago, I would have answered Papamoa Beach. In hindsight that would have been a terrible mistake, given the massive condo building melee that has ensued and has no end in sight, the better choice in the whole of the Bay of Plenty, is this very spot where this property is located. Words fail to describe the views, so I will only say: meadows, paddocks, green rolling hills, incredible ocean, tranquil pastoral views of orchards, and did I mention...an AVOCADO FARM?
You just can't ask for much more. I would stay here and visit Mount Maunganui during the day, and after being immersed in hundreds of tour ship passengers, other tourists that road trip to this destination, all scrambling in every direction, and after all the sun, the swimming or surfing, the shopping, and the ice cream stands, I would contentedly return to this peaceful sanctuary that is literally above it all.
The secret is now out, that this Airbnb is THE place for the savvy, discerning traveler if you really want it all.
