If you want li action look no further . You’d front deck looks straight onto mt Manganui . Just 30 steps and you’re at the waterfront to paddle board or kayak . Probably 50 steps and you’re on the beach . You are straight across the road from mount hot pools . 5 minutes drive from a supermarket and 20 mins walk ( or 5 min drive) to cafes shops and bars. It’s perfect .Marians place is beautifully furnished . The bed is great and the place overall is big spacious and airy ! We loved it
