This is a fabulous location to stay around Mount Maunganui if you are looking for a little privacy and don't mind driving to the main beach. The house is well set up and stylish, with light decor and plenty of space. A shopping centre is within walking distance, which is handy, and nowhere is really too far to get to. Lucy was very good with communication and we had no problem getting into the house (lockbox). The beds are comfortable too. We'll be back. Thanks so much.
