Sireesha’ place is very near to Alma’s restaurant which is a great place for sea food. There was also a boat club that was near by as well. The best part is how close it was to Omokorua Peninsula beach. There is an amazing walk through the Historic Gerald Crapp Reserve which put the Hamilton Gardens to shame. Amazing old growth walnut and Kauri trees with so many beautiful flowers with almost no one else there to enjoy the amazing aromas of the flowers. The vista over the coastline are just as amazing as the flowers.
A half hour drive puts you at the trail head of Mt Maunganui so you can get that amazing sunrise on the east coast.
Sireesha has the most affordable place to stay in a very expensive part of NZ. She had added little benefits of chocolate and tea to make a person feel welcome.
My stay was short but so sweet.
