We loved the location of the studio being right by Mt Maunganui and around the corner from the lovely beach. Restaurants are close by and it is great to have dedicated private parking in this popular resort. The studio is compact so the kitchen is small but has all the essentials. Comfy bed and small outside terrace where we had our breakfasts. Lots of hotels and apartments all round the back terrace but still nice and quiet while we were there. Please note that the gate to the car park and accommodation is closed at 8pm so get there earlier to get the key . The host is very friendly !
