We stayed @ Ryan’s place in Papamoa for 23 days due to our circumstance. Ryan hospitality was second to none & just a great Kiwi family, informative and helped out where needed. This was the perfect spot for central day trips to all surrounding areas, (Rotorua 1hr drive), walk across the road to the long white sandy beach, throw a line in for the elusive snapper, sunrises & sets simply the best.
Accommodations are new, clean & very comfortable with plenty of room to spread out. (Didn’t want to leave).
I’d definitely recommend and stay at Ryan’s place again.
