We stayed at CJ's place for three nights and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. It was the week of Cyclone Gabrielle, so we weren't sure how things would be, but I spoke to CJ the day before we were due to arrive and she said things were fine there, which they were. We arrived a little bit early but it was no problem to check in straight away. The space was bigger than I was anticipating with good storage for clothes and luggage etc. Shower was good and powerful with constant hot water and the kitchen area had everything we needed. There was a problem with the WiFi at first, possibly due to the cyclone, but CJ was able to sort it out and invited us to use the WiFi in her house if we needed it, which was great. We were there for a Test Match in Mt Maunganui so didn't spend much time in Papamoa, but intend to return and would certainly like to stay at CJ's when we do.
