If you're looking to stay in the Papamoa area of Tauranga and are looking for easy access to the beach then you'll find it difficult to find better value than Sue's place.
It is a clean, bright and happy space, well furnished with comfy bed, large TV, couch and kitchenette. Breakfast was in the fridge with a selection of jams, muesli and yoghurt.
Sue met me outside as I was pondering if it was the correct house or not, I was able to park the car undercover just a few metres from the front door.
The doors and windows were open already allowing the ocean breeze to cool the place, all in all it felt very welcoming.
Access to the beach is very easy and you can walk barefoot down the short stretch of road and onto the beautiful beach.
I highly recommend Sue's place to anyone looking to stay in this area and particularly if you're keen on getting on to the beach.
