The location is fantastic being one street back from the beach - it is so handy to the beach but is in a quiet spot being set back from the road down a driveway Papamoa Plaza is a very handy short drive. I didn’t have any issue with the house creaking (is a Lockwood style house) even though I can be a light sleeper. I did have to provide a few of my own kitchen utensils but is hopefully rectified for the next guests.
My dog loved the fully fenced section and am so grateful owners are happy to share their property with important members of the family.
The hosts kindly helped me loading my car on departure after having thumb surgery and were very respectful as to privacy at all times.
