Stayed for two nights, with two friends from October 2021.
Pros: Location is fantastic for exploring Mount Maunganui on foot with shops/restos, beach, harbour and mount all within easy walk. The apartment itself was compact but had everything we needed to put your feet up. We didn't cook but looks like there are most things you need. The balcony overlooks the pool and you can see a slither of the beach between two adjacent buildings.
Not so great: Only had two toilet rolls for the three of us so we ended up having to go buy more along with coffee etc as who knows how long the pantry items had sitting there. The second bedroom has a window that opens onto the central corridor which we had to keep closed due to rowdy neighbours through the night. The check out procedures seemed excessive considering we pay a cleaning fee.
