Great beach accommodation

Terrific stay at Diana’s property. It was spacious, well equipped and in a great location to access to Papamoa beach and shops, and a short drive to Mt Manganui. Diana was very easy to communicate with with detailed instructions on how to access the property and use the facilities. Would certainly come again.

2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment in quiet spot close to beach

Lovely light filled 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom unit, across the road from the beach. Very quiet, close to shopping centre, café and restaurants as well. Everything was clean, beds made up, towels provided, shower excellent pressure and good temperature. It was a little cold on arrival but that was soon fixed using reverse cycle air conditioning. I used the spare blanket on the bed, others may prefer heating in the bedrooms.

Perfect Location, lovely stay!

Lovely stay for our family. Super clean and tidy, directly across from the beach. Everything you need. Hopefully we weren't too annoying as we were in and out a lot with a basketball tournament! Despite being the ground floor there was no noise at all from the other homes. Highly recommend!

Good value property

Great location, beautiful wall to the beach. Conveniently placed for Manganui. A clean, functional property, good washing machine facilities ( essential for those on a road trip). Separate toilet/ bathroom is very useful. The road is busy at peak times but this didn’t bother us a removed enough away from road. Front garden secure and safe. Would have benefited from a little more crockery and cutlery so as to spend less time doing dishes or running a dish washer on almost empty.

great place to stay, quiet and well equipped. A couple of very minor issues 1. the door on the bedroom with the double bed rattles at night in windy conditions and needs attention. 2. There is a need for additional power points in lounge area, either than or a long extension lead e.g. for iron.

This property was exactly as advertised, spotless, great position to beach and shops. We had a 10-month old with us and they had put up a port-a-cot and high chair ready for when we arrived. Highly recommend.
