Lynda's place is excellent! Only a 5 minute drive to the base of Mauao so it is very handy if you are a beachy person. It was bliss to spend all day enjoying the beach and to then come back to your own private place to unwind and continue relaxing. The proximity means you don't waste time driving from further away, which is great for maximising leisure time. Lynda's place is well kitted out for a solo traveller or couple, with useful amenities like a wall mounted fan and well stocked kitchen. The breakfast items were very good and Lynda also leaves some little treats for you. Well worth the price for the peace of mind that comes from having your own space that is well appointed to what the beautiful Mount has to offer.
