It was located in a bush area, so the birds were lovely, the mouse in the roof at night not so much, but that’s a common problem in houses at this time of year. I didn’t realise the trains were so close by, so that was a bit noisy. There was no top sheet on the bed, which was odd. There were spare sheets in a box in the lounge for the lounge bed, but they smelt vaguely like cigarettes, so I chose not to use them as I wasn’t sure if they were clean or not. The shower and bathroom sink appeared not to have been given a good scrub for quite a while. I ended up using my own pot and utensils as the pot in the unit had a film of what appeared to be oil in it and was most obviously not clean, so I wasn’t sure what else hadn’t been cleaned after the last person. Most AirBnBs provide milk, but this is the second place I’ve stayed in the North Island that hasn’t (the other was in Hawkes Bay), so perhaps people at the top end of the NZ don’t provide this, I don’t know.
The place was freezing cold when I arrived, but the heater worked well to warm it up. Rather overpriced for what it was, but it appears most of Tauranga accommodation is.
