From two absolute stunning deluxe waterfront apartments, to a stock standard motel room, and everything in between; being a large 3 bedroom family unit, superior 2 bedroom units with partial harbor views, to our popular studio units. Two of our units/apartments have private gardens. We have large covered communal courtyard for guest use, and plenty of off-street parking, with two trailer/large vehicle parks, along with free WIFI and kayak use.

Lovely place, very clean

Location was ideal, looking out to the water, quiet street. Felt homely. Layout of the apartment was ideal.
The apartment was advertised with a view. The view was really impressive with full windows overlooking the water. Do be advised there are multiple rooms, some without views. Chris checked us in and worked very hard to make sure we were taken care of and satisfied. It was a very pleasant stay and a full value
I should have looked at the map a little closer. The property is near downtown and about a 10 minute drive to the beautiful beach near Mt. Maunganui town and beach. It was a fairly easy drive and you can get an Uber for under $10 USD.
Lovely helpful friendly staff. Clean comfortable and tidy place easy walk into to the town/Mount. Only downside was the rooms were more basement type, looking out onto banks going up, no views as shown in the picuture or of the Harbour!
Really great location. Friendly staff. Good facilities.
The 3 bed apartment was very comfortable, kitchen well equipped. Owner and staff extremely friendly and helpful
The third bedroom is small, but totally fine
Beautiful location. Very comfortable apartment.Very close to Memorial park. Short drive to Mount Manganui, with stunning beaches.
Very nice deco, beautiful apartment, has all the nice facilities, very comfortable with a garden view. Sitting close to city center with several minutes drive, and walking distances to supermarket and fast food restaurants, didn't explore more due to one night stay. It's still quiet and walk out to the cul-de-sac, you can see the water, the view offers an atmosphere of serenity.
Nothing much, if bedrooms have air conditioning, it would be perfect.
Ideal location, friendly staff, clean
Very comfortable and lovely people
Only complaint is the blinds and lack of being able to sleep past daybreak
It was a clean Great staff,
The photos showed viewNo viewVery disappointed as I brought a night as a present.
The staff are friendly, the beds are VERY soft, if that's your preference you will love this place, for us they were too soft and caused a lot of back ache, the staff were however very accommodating in helping us to find a solution, they have portable beds that are firmer so we used one of these instead. Nice spot by the harbour.
The kitchen is well equipped with utensils etc but not with things like olive oil, you would need to bring anything with you to be able to utilise the facilities. There is a terrible smell coming from under the sink and the drain outside, mainly when you open the cupboard rather than constant, but a bit unpleasant if you want to make use of the garden space.
Liked that it was close to everything
That I didn’t get the harbour view lol. I booked off the photo but I didn’t get that room amc I thought I was getting the room with the view.
Nicely decorated, clean, comfortable and spacious
A cute little cottage like stay cation whilst visiting family at Christmas time.
Friendly helpful staff.Great location near shops & park. Apartments with water or garden views.
Loved everything.
Lovely room with air conditioner, separate kitchen and clean bathroom
Management was extremely helpful and understanding of a request to host extra guests for the afternoon which we greatly appreciated. The apartment was immaculately clean and presented and perfect for our family with space for everyone. Highly recommended as an accommodation option in tauranga and will definitely be back in the future.
