This was the ideal place to stay as a family with two relatively young children. The location cannot be beat: right on a beautiful stretch of beach in Mount Maunganui. This lower floor flat was a five minute drive to restaurants and shops and was also pretty close to the Bayfair Mall. Kathleen and David were so friendly and welcoming. The place was spotless and the beds were comfortable. The outdoor shower, beach towels and chairs, and beach toys like boogie boards were great to have, particularly since we flew in to Tauranga and couldn’t pack much. The bathroom is very small so would not work well for people who require a lot of space or are disabled, but it worked well for us. We could not have had a better time and we all agree this is where we want to stay if we return to the area in future.
