We had a fabulous few days staying at Alley's place. The location was perfect - from the front deck we could see Pilot Bay and it took only a few minutes to walk down to the waters edge. And only a few minutes walk into downtown Mount Maunganui. Alley's place felt spacious even with 4 adults - beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with last minute items we had forgotten to bring. Alley is a perfect host and kept in touch with us as needed. We would definitely stay here again.
