Our stay at ‘Papamoa Beach’ was incredibly relaxed. It’s 1 min from the long stretch of beautiful Beach, close but not too close to the popular Mt Maunganui and it’s restaurants/cafes and boutique style shops, and of course you must climb ‘the Mount’ for the spectacular views. Our flat out the back of Catherine’s home was quaint, very clean, bright and airy - it was lovely to return to it from our daily adventures. But, the hidden gem in staying here, was Catherine! (Also Rob and Nina). Thank you for all your help and hopefully a continued friendship! Lou n Gaz.
