We had a lovely time staying at Nola's. We were greeted warmly and shown the very clean and tidy rooms we would be staying in. The views out onto the estuary are beautiful and the walkway surrounding the estuary is perfect for a stroll or bike ride. The place is also very family friendly and our young son was made to feel right at home. Restaurants are close by and there is an icecream/coffee cart within walking distance to the house. Its close enough to town to do stuff but far enough away that you can have a peaceful nights sleep. We highly recommend staying with Nola if you are visiting Tauranga!
