Excellent accommodation for a family. The property was clean and tidy, well set up and had a home away from home feeling. This place is fully fenced which was really important as i have two young children. The backyard was great for the kids to run and play. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend.

Fantastic

Such a great stay. The house was private, clean, modern and well stocked with linen and essentials. The beds were comfortable and the yard was tidy and fully fenced. Debra was fantastic to deal with and the location is great for both the beach, shops and playground. Will definitely keep in mind for future stays.

Beautiful accommodation

This property was absolutely immaculate!! Tasteful decor, and most certainly clean and tidy. Lots of extras such as board games, beach gear, bikes, bbq… the list goes on. A short walk to Bayfair Shopping Centre and a 10 min drive to the mount. Would definitely stay here again.

Imacculate and cosy!

This was probably the best Bach we have stayed in in the last 4 years! It literally had everything we could possibly need. It was beautifully kept and obviously well cared for. Debra, our host, was very responsive to any queries we had. Great place and we will definitely return in the future!

Awesome Stay Awesome Accessories

I'd fully recommend this bach. It's modern, fully equipt include use of bikes and umbrella. All modern appliances and unlike a few baches I've stayed at this one is fully equiped. Don't bother bringing you favoured cooking utils. thi place has it all. Debra kindly offered us an extra night when I stuffed up and got wrong day for exit. Thanks sooo much :) About a 10 min drive to the mount and 5-6 mins to Papamoa. Centrally located. We loved our stay. Thanks again

Everything at your avail

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Debra’s place. It is so well appointed and honestly has everything you need and more! Location was great for us, as we were at Baywave all weekend but equally quick drive to the main shops, eateries and beaches in Mount Maunganui. Great amenities, quality homewares and the added touch of basic food items for use was really appreciated. BBQ is great and the outdoor area so relaxing with the abundant fruit trees. Lots to keep family and friend groups occupied here, whatever the weather. Thank you Debra, we WILL be back 😊
