Stef's place was great, fantastic spot so close to the beach with bus stops right outside for transport to Mt Maunganui, Tauranga etc. Also an easy bike ride to Papamoa domain and shops.
The house was lovely: clean and tidy, with a great deck and bbq for relaxing outside, and big bi-fold doors in the lounge to open up and get that indoor-outdoor flow happening.
Great to be able to take our dog, it can be hard to find places accepting pets.
There was quite a bit of road noise as Papamoa Beach Rd seems to be a main route for commuters.
Stef was amazing, great communications and was very flexible when we needed to stay two additional nights waiting for our vehicle to be fixed after a breakdown.
Highly recommended.
