Beverly’s place is a home away from home in Tauranga. I stayed for a month, and even with loads of rain, got to enjoy the near bay beaches and estuary and the further Mount and open ocean. I highly recommend the Dolphins safaris, as well as day trips to Taupo (carving), Rotorua (Mitai village, Volcanic Hills Winery, and River Rafting). The Waikato museum is also a lovely day trip on a rainy day. Otherwise, stay local. There is much to enjoy. Bev is a warm host eager to be of help and brighten your trip.
