Shannons property is a perfect hide away for people like us who are aiming for a laid back holiday retreat yet wanting all the creature comforts around us to be within arms reach.
Despite the freezing weather, the house is warm and cosy.
It sits on a very well appointed block of land that diffuses any form on noise given the location of its bedrooms are perfect.
If opting to relax, you can stay home and unwind.
If aiming to go mid activity, 10 mins away is the Hot Pools of Mt Maunganui.
If aiming for a big night out like us in some nights, there are the Island Brewery as well as the Rising Tide Brewer.
Waste not, want not - as oppose to other accommodation - Shannon repurposes any unused consumables from recent guests. Therefore, unopened/untouched items (big or small) might just be there readily available (for the next guest) in the fridge or pantry eg. Salt, pepper, sugar, heaps of condiments in the fridge, tea etc, salad dressings.
This drives the motion of doing the same kindness with my family - leaving behind (rather than throwing) unused/unopened items such as bottled water, tins of salmon, noodles, etc.
A great hideaway and top spot for a family holiday !
