Beeva's place is close to the beach in a very quiet area but there is a bar and shop close by for anything that you might need. Tauranga is a 35 minute blast up the expressway. I have stayed in places with more flash facilities but they cost more than double and I have stayed in five star hotels that were less comfortable. I have never stayed anywhere with a more friendly host. I cannot imagine anyone feeling disappointed by their stay at Beeva's. It really felt as though I was dropping in on a good mate I'd known for years. Airbnb calls Beeva a super-host, I call him legend.
