We stayed for 2 nights over Easter 2017, and happily recommend Leonie as a wonderful host with a beautiful home.
Located on a quite suburban street, you are very close to Papamoa Plaza with supermarkets and food options. The house is warm and inviting, and thoughtfully decorated throughout. Your room is cosy with a comfortable bed; with white curtains and windows on two walls, it gets a lot of light, so pack a sleeping mask if you would like a sleep in.
Leonie was very welcoming and helpful - our car had been broken into and a window smashed, and she kindly let us park in her garage so that it was secure over night.
We also really appreciated Leonie's foodie tips and enjoyed a gorgeous lunch at the Falls Retreat on her recommendation!
