Great Family Holiday

We had a very enjoyable holiday. We loved the location and everything about our accomodation. Beautiful courtyard to relax in and plenty of space for all of the family.

Thankyou Arlene. We love our holiday home. It is purely a holiday home with empty spaces and room for guests. Unlike many holiday rentals you will have noticed there are no personal belongings. We love the location to the beach and shops. We arrive and never use our car. The back yard is private and very safe allowing belongings to be happily left outside. I am pleased you enjoyed our wonderful summer.

Family fun

The property is in a great location, close to beach and supermarket. It’s well set up so we settled in easily and quickly made it our home away from home.The only issue we had was that it was very hot when we stayed and the cooling mode on the heatpump wasn’t as efficient as one hoped.

Response from VrboOwner on 20 Jan, 2025
Heat pumps are heat pumps not really air conditioning units. They are great at moving air around but best if doors are open. We have very recently bought a cooling unit for upstairs to hopefully help the heat gathered there. I’m very pleased you had lovely weather during your stay. Rain and wind makes a summer holiday miserable, even at the famous Mt Maunganui beach. Thanks for your review.

Handy to everything, but unfortunately we did not have access to the washing machine and games room area as the host was concerned over a smell she had discovered. We didn’t mind the smell, but she insisted on locking it up. My kids were excited that there was a games room and were sad that we did not get to use any of it.

Spacious house

The house was clean and spacious with plenty of room for guests. Be aware the garage is not in play as it is the 4th room. There is room for two cars on the drive and parking outside on the road is plenty. The lounge has air-con which is great over summer

Family week away

It was a home away from home. Everything you wanted, very comfortable beds. Excellent location only a block to the beach and a block the other direction for New World supermarket and takeaways. We stayed September school holidays, would love to stay over summer. Outdoor table, bbq area and outdoor shower. Thank you Ruth your property is really lovely.

This is the perfect property for a group of friends heading away for the weekend. There's enough space for everyone plus a great outdoor area with large table and chairs to enjoy the sun. We rolled the table tennis table out onto the lawn and spent an afternoon have a fun (but competitive) tournament. We hadn't checked out the location when booking so were pleasantly surprised to find the beach was only 250 metres away. No complaints, we'd definitely book again.

The property is ideal for visiting the area, it included linen and towels so we did not have to worry about anything. I would recommend it for anyone travelling with children as they even have a great space for them to play and sleep.
