This was a great location for my brief trip to Tauranga. The house is located about a 10 minute walk from Maunganui Beach, though a car would be necessary to reach the Mount and the Strand within a reasonable amount of time (plenty of parking).
Barbara was a wonderful host and is very knowledgeable about the area. The room was stocked with tea & coffee as well as a map of the area, and the bed was really comfortable. Breakfast was lovely on the beautiful deck; I would highly recommend staying at this AirBnB.
