Delwyn and Steve are lovely, friendly people who will make you feel welcome and well cared for. They do extra things to make your stay more lovely. For instance, they put fresh flowers from their garden in the eating area and bathroom. They add lemon slices to the fresh water in the refrigerator. Milk is in a pitcher, not a plastic or paper container. And they provide a continental breakfast of granola, yogurt, and fruit. The accommodation is detached from their home, so it feels very private, but it is in their backyard, not facing the estuary. There is a walking path along the estuary just below their property, and they are close to Mount Maunganui and the walks there. The Main Beach is just south of the mountain, and it is a beautiful beach. We highly recommend Delwyn and Steve's place.
