Mary was easy to communicate prior to our arrival and she made our arrival very easy. The apartment was beautiful - flowers on the table, cereal, tea, coffee provided and a jar of lollies in the fridge :) The apartment was located a minute from the beach of Pilot Bay on one side and a minute from Mount Main Beach on the other. And also within a minute we were at the foot of Mount Mauganui and able to take advantage of its beautifully scenic walk. There were numerous cafes within a couple of minutes walk and the restaurants of the Mount main street were only a few minutes further. I believe there is also a good bus route in the area, and the national bus stop (for travel around NZ) is also within easy walking distance. We would highly recommend this apartment in terms of its cleanliness, ambience, views and locality. Thanks Mary! We would love to come back some time.
