We stayed here for Christmas in Papamoa as there were too many people already staying at my mums. We have a baby and a toddler, and for a night even had my sister's family, also with a baby and toddler, all comfortably stay. It was clean and tidy and a great base, with us having to be back for daytime naps and early nights. Easy to get to shops and beach etc, and felt like a safe neighborhood. Would stay again. Justine was a great host.
