We stayed at Michelle's place for 3 nights with our 14 month old daughter. The house is in a great location, only a 10 minute walk to the centre of the Mount, and a 3 minute walk to the main beach.
The house itself is cozy and practical and has everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. The outside deck is great, and the large sun umbrella made it easy to relax during the hot weather.
If you're looking for a well priced, low-key, kiwi batch experience in Mount Maunganui, this is a perfect place to stay. We'll be back next year!
