Highly recommended!
Barbara and Warren were super friendly and made me feel at home instantly. The accomodation is very nice in a quiet area, yet the lively center of the peninsula is quickly to reach. What's even better - you can reach the beach within minutes by foot. There's a lovely beach café with great coffee and food nearby. The offered home made breakfast energized me for the day and the hikes (great views!).
I'll probably return to Tauranga / Mt. Maunganui and will try to book the same location.
