Our family had a fantastic stay at Janice and Malcolm's place in Mount Maunganui. It was a cozy spot that was well equipped and nicely designed, super comfy beds and linens, a large kitchen and we enjoyed our morning coffee in the outdoor seating area. The place is a short walk to the beach and cafes, and an easy drive to downtown (appreciate the recommendations, especially Elspeth & Eddies!). And a special shoutout to the curator of the boardgames :) Thanks again Janice and Malcolm!
