I loved my stay at this well appointed peaceful cottage in the countryside outside of Tauranga. Great comfy bed and big bedroom. Sky TV! Nice big couch in the main room. The kitchen has plenty of great equipment for cooks and the toaster oven (which works like a regular oven) is the same as the one I have in the USA, which I love! I cooked a lot of meals here. The cottage is in an avocado orchard so there are plenty of yummy avocados around. Wonderful stargazing at night. There is also a washing machine and a line which is terrific if you are staying for a while. This is definitely not "in town" but shows the beauties of rural NZ and is across the highway from Omokoroa Beach which is a lovely little beach for swimming with some nice local places to eat. Its only a 20 min drive into Tauranga. I would love to stay here again!
