We loved staying at Laura’s place in Mount Maunganui. It was close to the beaches on both sides of the peninsula, and close to the walks around and up Mount Maunganui. The place was large, modern, white, with 2 bedrooms and bathroom downstairs, and the very handy, clean, and large (for our small rental car) garage. Upstairs was high-ceilinged, with lots of light from many directions. Bathroom, and kitchen extras were available, which was handy. Comfortable bed, good Wi-Fi. The unit is part of a small condo complex with, it looked like, 4 units perpendicular to the street. This unit is the third one in, with a little view of the Main Beach and ocean from the deck and living room area. We wanted to be close to the Mount, and to the main street area with restaurants, etc., and Laura’s place was perfect for this. We liked the Bombay Brasserie for takeaway, Flaveur bakery for bread, and Mount Maunganui Bakery for meat pies. The neighbours were quiet, occasional car going in & out of the group of condos, but this was not a problem at all. Easy communication with Laura, before, during and after we left. Picking up and dropping the keys was no problem at all. Would stay there again for sure. Thanks to Laura.
