This is a superb little unit. Great for a single or couple. It was so clean, like everything looked brand new. Also, very quiet. I know it is a short walk to the beach, however, when I was there, the weather was terrible, so I didn't actually walk anywhere. Most of the time Mt Maunganui is a stunning, warm and sunny location, so rest assured I just was there on one of the few miserable weekends. Hence the unit is not set up for the cold. Also there are lots of lovely solar powered lights around garden - where unit is but none by door, so if your on your own, can be hard to see to unlock at night. Please go on a fine weekend, this place has such a wonderful outdoor area, great backyard, I think it would be a fantastic romantic get away - drinking wine, at the outdoor table, looking at the stars - stunning!
