The hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful with recommendations. Guests have a separate den area to lounge in outside of the guest room. The continental breakfast was light, but appreciated. It was mainly cereal, toast, and a sugary yogurt cup. The local grocery store was a 5 minute drive away for snacks. The owners were generous to let us hang our laundry up to air dry outside.

The bed was okay, but I wouldn't characterize it as really comfortable. It didn't have much supportive cushion for curvy side sleepers. The tile on the bathroom floor is very slippery. Use caution. The only sink available for guest use is in the bathroom. This could be logistically awkward if you plan to supplement breakfast with your own food items or travel with snacks and containers that require washing.

Lovely hosts, who greeted us, to let us know, what we needed to know, then left us alone to enjoy our stay. It is a very lovely home, with great facilities, off the main road, with room to park at the front of the property, safe and quiet. For those hot days, there is a lovely swimming pool, right outside the room, off a huge patio area, which can be shared with other guests as well. Thankfully, there was a small wall fan in the room to help keep the room cool throughout the night. Sadly, we had to leave early, so we didn't get to enjoy the lovely breakfast, that was available to us.

Please note, the private bathroom with the shower, is at the front of the house, "outside the room" but not right by the room. Is a lovely bathroom, though.

We absolutely adored Sam and Jo providing breakfast foods, the little chats, the use of their pool, and the comfort of it feeling like our space, as well as our own separate shared lounge/dining space. We appreciated Sam and Jo’s professionalism. Thank you for a wonderful stay and allowing your space to become ours for the weekend! We will deffos be back! Xo

There is nothing that we did not like. Jo and Sam do an amazing job as air bnb hosts. Can’t wait to become a regluar Ka rawe x

Lovely house and the owners were kind, generous and great to have a chat with and also helped us out heaps. The living spaces have everything you need including plenty of breakfast options as-well as a living space with Netflix. The place is very tidy and well kept and the house itself was beautiful and was close to shops making it easy to explore Tauranga and Mt Maunganui. Although there was no one else staying in the accommodation at the same time, as there are a few rooms so I could imagine this would be a great place to potentially meet other travellers. Would definitely recommend:)

Hosts Jo & Sam were just lovely and friendly. The view from the verandah and pool area were outstanding, and a lovely area to relax away from the heat. Beautifully presented rooms, with comfortable bed and very quiet area. Highly recommended, and would definitely stay again,

There wasn't anything to dislike.

The owners are lovely and friendly, the rooms were a good size and comfortable. The living space I didn't expect but was really useful and the breakfast was perfectly acceptable.

We all like quite firm pillows which it could have done with but to be fair most places don't supply this and anyway they had two so you could just pile them up.

The location is very handy for any kinds of leisure or busness, close to the city center but still in a nice residential area. The hosts were so nice and helpful fos us to stay comfortably... of course, the house is very tidy and beautiful. Look forward to coming back sometime!

Convenient situation for our purposes. Friendly reception. Very comfortable bed, Adequate heating for the time of year.

In home B&B. We booked, knowing that we did not have an ensuite. We did not expect the long passage from the room to the bathroom, across the main entrance hall. Breakfast was very basic.

It was such a cute house, with s swimming pool and a view from the patio over the mountain. Also Sam and Jo were absolutely lovely, thay gave us a bunch of tips on what to do during our trip and were very generous! We only stayed there for one night and went to Hobbiton the next day, but had a nice stay with some needed relax time!

Very friendly hosts, cozy bedroom and nice breakfast. It is a private house in which they let several bedrooms as B&B so it is a very interesting experience to see a New Zealand home ☺️ It was pretty cold in the house but as I understood all New Zealand houses are like that :)
