We stayed at James' place few nights. Place is new and very clean. Its a separate unit attached to main (James)house but it is very private with your own entry and car parking. He made him self available at any time but didn't see him at all as clear and easy to follow instructions that he left on on bench top for us was all that we needed. Place is few min walk to Papamoa beach and 10 min drive to Mt Mounganui, really easy to find and quick acces to M-way. We would strongly recommend this place.
