Trish is new to air bnb she was fast to respond when making inquiries. she also went out of her way to allow me to check in earlier. The view was perfect and shops bars restaurants were within walking distance right in the heart of mount maunganui. She was very helpful and gave me all the information I needed as this was my first time to the mount. How ever I would say that this accomadation would really only suit for a over night stay as if you like your privacy it would not work for you as your bedroom is right next door to the owner how ever you do have your own bathroom and are allowed to only use the kitchen for hot drinks. It would have been a bonus if a light breakfast was provided how ever you may just get what you pay for other than that my stay was good.
