This was one of the most nicely decorated and well-appointed places we have stayed. Great coffee too! Our hosts also provided us with lots of fresh goodies. The space was large and had all the modern conveniences including a dishwasher. We were given access to the host’s washer and dryer (plus outdoor line) for washing clothes. While there was some noise from local traffic during the day, it was quiet and peaceful at night. The river swimming hole was easily accessible. Many walks in the Kaimai forest park were close by and it was only a modest distance to Tauranga. All in all a great place to stay
