Amber's place provided a great base for our week-long exploration of the Bay of Plenty. We found the location ideal, being about halfway between awesome Mount Maunganui and beautiful Waihi beach, and loved that it was less than a 10 minute drive to a bunch of gorgeous walking tracks in the Kaimai forest - the swimming hole track is really special! Also very easy to access hiking in the incredible Karangahake Gorge. The outlook from the house is lovely and inside was comfortable and clean. You can hear a bit of noise from the highway, but the peaceful setting made up for it.
