Very good accommodation and lovely hosts. Well located near the most beautiful beach and near the large Bayfair shopping centre which was very convenient. It is about a 12-15 walk from Bayfair, which is also where the Intercity bus drops off/picks up. Our advice, however, is that Tauranga/Mt Maunganui is one of those places which requires a car for driving to the main attractions and patrolled beach. Not impossible without, but if you have small children or grumpy teenagers, they may not want the extra trek!
