About this property

Ebbtide Way Guesthouse

This completely self contained flat is your perfect holiday hideaway in the beautiful Bay of Plenty.
Offset from the owners home, this 2 bedroom unit has its own driveway and its own private courtyard with outdoor table and chairs.
The property is located on a private cul de sac and is nestled against a beautiful green backdrop of native bush. The property is a quiet haven away from the hustle and bustle and is the perfect compliment to a busy day of sightseeing or after a big day at the beach. Just come home and relax!

It's perfect for kids. A trampoline is available for use and a playground and sports park is only a few minutes walk away. 2 kayaks are available for use on the estuary which is literally a stones throw from the house.

Whilst set up to cater for 4 persons, there is room to put an additional rollaway bed/mattress in the second bedroom for a 5th person. Please enquire regarding this option.

We are also available for longer term rentals (eg waiting for a new house to be built). We are happy to negotiate rates for this option.

High speed internet included.
Special conditions:
No smoking on property

Maungatapu Magic

We stayed here during AIMS Games week and it was the perfect location for us as it was halfway between the 2 pool venues our team was playing waterpolo at. Clean, tidy and has everything you need for a quiet, relaxing stay. Brett, the property manager, was extremely helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend staying here and we would go back.
