We were unfortunate enough to get to Papamoa/Maunganui just in time for three days of bad weather, but thankfully we were staying at Jo’s place the whole time so rather than sleeping in our SUV, we had a super stylish, comfy place to lay our heads down every night.
The really nicely decorated wing of her home makes for a super cosy, comfortable and private atmosphere, right by Papamoa beach and 15 minutes driving to Mount Maunganui.
But really what sells the place for us, is its host, Jo. Jo went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at home, and we thoroughly enjoyed our chats with our host the occasional times we crossed paths which, ordinarily I might avoid in previous AirBnB experiences, but welcomed wholeheartedly in this case.
Would highly recommend staying here to anyone and everyone!
