We had a truly wonderful time at Nicola’s family home and found its location perfect for exploring the Tauranga and Mount Maunganui area. It’s just 15-20 minutes by car to either one. Our 5-year-old had the best time on the trampoline or playing with the toys at the house. Especially when traveling with kids, the house instantly feels like home and we could have easily stayed longer.
We do need to mention one thing that we didn’t expect: The house comes with its own pet, a lovely cat named Lulu who likes to get food twice a day. She’s totally adorable and we actually really enjoyed her company, so we didn’t mind the responsibility of feeding her at all. But we still think that it really should have been mentioned in the property’s description, especially considering that some people are allergic to cat hair. Fortunately, this is an easy fix.
Other than that, we highly recommend staying at the Harrisfield Abode!
