Beach and waffles @Papamoa

FAMILY luxury 300m to the beach, 200m to cinema, cafe, resturants with waffles!This is our Family Holiday spot that we are sharing with yours... walk everywhere together (kids can use scooters) early morning ocean sit( cold bath) & night ocean sits.

Spending the days at the beach when its sunny building sand castles and doing hand stands, having picnics on the beach or finishing the day with a bbq on the beach.(with our small portable bbq.) with some fairy lights and ocean waves as music. enjoying the Majesty of Gods creation :)

finished by an outside shower with some music playing on the shower speaker.
Games to be enjoyed in the house the next day or on a rainy day. Board games/cards/table tennis/darts/movies or cinema days at Trivoli Cinema.

Night times can also be spent having a bbq in our backyard surrounded by palm trees, lanterns and fairy lights makes a super relaxing environment. then walking over to 4 square where you can plan what special waffle topping you want to purchase for tomorrow mornings waffles (because every morning starts with a waffle on holiday)

We loved our stay at Beach and Waffles Papamoa. The house was very clean and very well furnished with a lovely aesthetic. We loved the location being close to the shops - four square, restaurants, a cafe and an amazing bakery “Rise” with fantastic coffee and the best cream donuts plus many other delicious treats! It was also an easy walk to the beach which we had a great time exploring daily. The outdoor shower with hot water to rinse off after the beach was great and super handy! We enjoyed having the games to play at the house like ping pong and darts. We also really appreciated having the washer and dryer to do laundry as needed. I would highly recommend this property and would definitely love to stay here again.

I didn't personally get to stay as had suffered a head injury and couldn't travel. However my daughter-in-law who stayed at the house told me how lovely the place was. Everthing perfect for a comfortable stay she said. Recommends I rebook at some stage when heading that way again.
