Back in the States, there's a saying that the nicest people in the world live in New Zealand. Jan totally brings that saying to life. Not only is the place beautiful and in a nice location, with wonderful gardens to walk through by the river, but Jan makes you feel right at home. She's kind, helpful, and a wonderful person all around. I recommend that if you're considering a place to stay in Tauranga, this should be first on your list!
