We had a great time staying at Gillian's place. The place is really cool and it is in Tauranga near Mount Manganui. A great place to rest and relax after a long day of driving from Auckland to Hamilton, Waitomo, Matamata hobiton. It is a good place stop and rest before moving on to Rotorua and Taupo area the next day. Gillian is very accommodating and friendly. I would definitely recommend her place would love to stay here again in the future. If by chance you'll be in the Philippines, let me know :)
