Definitely good for what we paid, was hot and stuffy in the rooms could do with aircon but overall we enjoyed it here the pool was beautiful. Staff very friendly.
The hosts were very good and efficient. We had noisy people next door and they immediately rectified the problem. Very clean units. Needs air conditioning. Very handy to Bayfair Shopping Centre and restaurants. Our stay was 3 nights in January 2026. Thank you for a great stay.
Love this place. Always so welcomed and cared for when we stay. Handy to Bayfair and Baypark. Ideal for our little family. Staff here are so accommodating and helpful.
Enjoyed our stay and for the price. Staff were friendly and it’s in a nice area so close to bayfair shopping centre. Would definitely book again next time.

Property was algoods. Everything we needed. Good location to beach, mall an pools.
Close to Bayfair & Bay Park and easy driving distance to Mt Maunganui & Tauranga. If a swim is required the beaches are just around the corner and a couple good quality cafes a short drive on your way to Mt Maunganui along the beach road.
