This is a great place to stay while visiting Mt Maunganui. Close to the beach and a large grocery store as well as an easy walk to downtown. The unit is very well equipped including a washing machine. It was very comfortable and very quiet. The hosts are very friendly and very helpful. Communication was good. Overall good value. There are a couple of caveats - if you are tall ( over 190 cms, 6’3” ) you may bump your head in the living room as the ceiling is low and you should be aware that there is a dog ( who is friendly but frisky ). Otherwise I can highly recommend staying here.
