All you need and everything you want

We had an amazing stay. The house is equipped with everything you need to feel like a home away from home. It’s a super quick walk to the beach so the location is the cherry on top. We hope to stay again in the future.

Homely home.

The house was very comfortable and exactly what we needed for a long weekend and it would be even better for a longer holiday. I would love to go back in the future. It was well equipped for holiday needs with shops and cafes within easy distance.

Relaxing and a wonderful stay

We stayed over the Matariki long weekend, and it was a great location. Every year the three of us guys decide on a different location to relax and enjoy the sun. We're glad we chose this property as it had everything we needed, stone throw from the beach, shops close by, warm, good size house with two bathrooms. Anna also catered for our early check in plus made sure the gas on the bbq was full as we do a lot of bbq's haha. Fantastic property.

Prompt Communication Helps

Our stay at the 'Bliss at Papamoa' holiday home was fantastic! The property was exactly as described, and the communication with the owner was clear and transparent from start to finish. They were prompt in responding to any queries, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Highly recommended!"

Were planning to have dinner sitting in the delightful courtyard under the umbrella DARN IT the irrigation switched on . wet chairs
