Kirsty and Aaron’s place at Tauranga was very welcoming. We had the use of the whole house over the Christmas period as a family group, including a baby, and had a wonderful time. The house had all the amenities we needed. The garden was delightful and we loved being able to pick fresh herbs and a few vegetables as needed. The location was terrific - very close to shops and only a short drive to the main beaches, with other paddling beaches suitable for children nearby. Highly recommend this as a holiday destination. The only surprise was the closeness of the railway line - but somehow the rumblings of the trains blended in with the holiday atmosphere!
