Kirstin has a lovely home and we had a wonderful time staying there on our vacation.
The house itself is spacious and comfortable, with a great outdoor area. It is a fantastic place to stay if you have a young family. The backyard and trampoline are great spaces for kids to play, and the downstairs shower is brilliant for washing up after a visit to the beach. The house has great amenities, such as a Nespresso coffee machine, washing machine and dryer, and Sky TV. It did get a little warm in the house at night, when we visited in summer, but as long as you open up the windows, that shouldn't be a problem.
The house is located a 5 minute walk from the beach, and a less than 10 minute walk from the local supermarket and cafés. It is less than 10 minutes by car to the heart of Mount Maunganui, and less than 10 minutes drive in the other direction to the Bayfair Mall and indoor pool. If you're flying in to Tauranga, the airport is also less than 10 minutes drive away.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kirstin's home, and would love to stay there again.
