What an amazing cottage! My partner and I stayed here for his birthday weekend and we couldn't have been more satisfied. The cottage itself was clean, modern and spacious - if it was rentable long term we'd seriously rent it!! Along with a cute cat Jimmy who visits if you want. Dvds, amazingly comfy bed and a huge shower! The hosts were amazing and respected our privacy, yet when we did see him he'd always smile and have a quick chat. Though if we needed help they said ask whenever. We unfortunately didn't get to meet Pauline, but through our amazing helpful communication before the weekend I can honesty say - she sounds lovely too. Even a place to park your car to keep it off the road. And a air con system that keeps your warm or cool depending. And literally a short walk to the beach and new world or short drive to mt maunganui main town. Highly recommend ! :)
