This suited our needs perfectly. It was close to beach and shops . The driveway is tricky if you have a large vehicle but you can navigate it with care. We found the upstairs tenants quite noisy but in saying that we would stay there agai.

“Perfect Little Percy”

Just a short trip to Papamoa for the weekend and a perfect clean, tidy and warm place to stay! Close to everything we needed and super close to the plaza and places to eat. And a plus was being able to bring our little dog along with us 😁

Neat and tidy place. Kitchen very well equipped. Loads of sunlight (even though the house is built into a hill). The people who live upstairs are very quiet, but because of the construction of this house it is possible to hear their footsteps, roller doors being opened, and their conversations. Extremely clean place. Comfortable bed. Good linens. Good location...close to beach, and to Lantern (an excellent restaurant). Highly recommended, unless you are sensitive to the sounds of neighbors.

Cute unit

Tidy, cute unit. Not clear instructuon, had to gi to a librsry ti Host , book in top shelf id closet, shoukd be in clear easy view. Had a issue of bad cat urine smell, had to sleep on fold out couch, uncomfortable. Host attempted to bot reimburse our stay we had to bring VRBO in too recover all our monies. Other than that it is a cute unit, . We take no glee in having to give a bad review. If a unit allows Pets there should be no rugs for pets to Territory mark on. Ower was aware of the smell and suggested we use oet spray from under the sink.
