We had 3 adults and 1 child and stayed 2 nights at the River View Escape. The location is superb. 1 min drive to the Wairoa River reserve, 5 mins drive to Bethlehem shopping center and 15 mins drive to Mount Maunganui. The atmosphere is so relaxing with beautiful river view. Monica has presented the guest house elegantly with everything we needed. The beds and sheets were so nice and comfortable! Definitely recommended! We would love to come back again in the future.
