We had an absolutely amazing stay at Tauranga thanks to Barbara and her lovely home. We had to check in early due to bus schedules and Barbara was extremely accommodating. She even had a baby cot waiting for our little one. House was immaculate, clean, and a great night sleep. If you plan to visit the bay of Plenty, Mt. Maunganui is the place to be and Barbara's home is in a perfect location to do that. We planned to hike the mountain the morning we were checking out and Barbara was more than willing to give us breakfast on the go and watch our things while we were gone. She even watched our 18-month old while we were getting ready! Thanks for a memorable trip!
