Excellent host, beautiful property

The pictures and description on the site don't do it justice. Our first impression was that the house was much larger than we thought, with ample living space. The house is extremely well taken care of and you can tell right away that Lesa takes pride in her home. The pantry and fridge were stocked enough to get us going and there is too many extra amenities to mention, which makes it easy for people visiting from outside the country to acclimatize quickly and not waste time. I WILL mention a few extras: leaving us bread, butter, coffee, spices, condiments etc to get started, beach towels and coolers/ice packs for day trips, dishwasher pods and washing detergent and multiple racks for drying. We loved the area: a safe, family neighbourhood, so close to everything (as advertised in the title) and great walking paths right out the door. Lesa provided a nice manual describing the area, details on accessing Netflix (provided) and a very short list of house rules - all of which are just common sense.There was only one small area that could use improvement and that is the lack of storage in the primary bedroom. Not having access to a closet or dresser made it a bit difficult living out of a suitcase for 11 days.In summary, we're not sure how someone becomes a super-host but we whole-heartedly nominate Lesa to that position. She provided a clean well-maintained house, was thoughtful in providing items that travelers can't really pack for themselves, and was very responsive

It was a pleasure to have Tim and family from overseas come and stay in my home. They were great guests. They left everything just as it was when they arrived. I enjoyed giving them bread, milk etc to start them off here in NZ. Tim you’re more than welcome to come back and stay anytime. Lesa 😁

About the host

Hosted by Lesa

Host profile image
Hi. I'm new to hosting. I moved up to Tauranga four years ago and just LOVE my house. I love the location and how close it is to everything, cafe, beach, pub but yet far enough away to feel you're getting away.

Why they chose this property

It has everything I need within walking distance. I love having the beach and supermarkets so close.

What makes this property unique

I look out onto the reserve. I watch the sun set while listening to the sea. A glass of wine, bbq and have the space without feeling closed in.

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
