My family of five spent a week at the house after a long trip down from the States. The home was clean, spacious, and centrally located for our needs. The beach was a short 5 minute drive from the house, and shopping and good restaurants were also close by. The house was located at the end of a quiet street backing up to a green space with a playground that my children frequented. This is a lovely home for anyone looking to spend some quiet time in Papamoa Beach.
