Great visit to Tauranga!
The staff was super friendly and helpful with all my requests. Our room was tidy, well stocked, and quiet. We did have a few issues that we reported, but the staff were keen to deal with them ASAP. We had a room right in the corner so it was a little dark/hard to air out but it was still a really good room! I loved the space in the shower.

Staff were helpful, unfortunately the room was on the lower floor behind the stairs and a cupboard with a wall behind it which meant the room was very dark and quite noisy. The room was clean and appeared to have had the carpet washed recently as there was a chemical smell in the room. The location was perfect to access Blake park.

Reception not open in the mornings for check out. Unit very tired. No side tables by bed (although they did put one in the second night without us asking). Having to ask to get the TV fixed as it didn't work and no hair dryer in the unit as advertised. Sounds like they had just re-opened recently. They were very apologetic for the inconveniences and did give us a bottle of wine for our troubles. Price didn't reflect what was expected.j

The room was nice an spacious, layout of the room was perfectly designed, great for a wheelchair person. Just one thing that maybe need to look at is the little outdoor area. Chair an Table had spider webs, so my wife didn't want to sit outside, looked like no one has touched it or cleaned it for a while. We thought it could be a great area if it had colour instead of a grey wall. Have green turf on the ground, artwork on the wall of the beach an maybe wall of plant boxes with veggies or herbs or just plants would give it life an character. Also add outdoor lounge seats. But that's your call, amazing place to stay.

Spacious and comfortable with heating and spa baths. The spa bath jets didn’t work in one of the units we were in. It is a quiet location. and there is a good cafe over the road and a dairy in close walking distance. There is one car park for each unit. We would stay here again.

Plenty of space and peace close to the Bay!
Really enjoyed our 3-night stay in our spacious, immaculate, well-equipped and tastefully decorated apartment. The owners are very warm and welcoming as well as being extremely professional. Great location close to the stunning beach and beautiful bay. Thanks from Kate and Terence, Edinburgh
