Thankyou Arlene. We love our holiday home. It is purely a holiday home with empty spaces and room for guests. Unlike many holiday rentals you will have noticed there are no personal belongings. We love the location to the beach and shops. We arrive and never use our car. The back yard is private and very safe allowing belongings to be happily left outside. I am pleased you enjoyed our wonderful summer.
This was such a great place to stay. It was so easy to communicate with the hosts and the house was very clean, equip with great amenities and in a great location.
Thank you so much for having us in your beautiful space. We look forward to staying again one day.

Family holidays need to be easy and stress free. We try to make our holiday home just that. We love our guests to enjoy their holiday in our lovely area and by providing a holiday home that is easy comfortable and safe adds to this experience.
Handy to everything, but unfortunately we did not have access to the washing machine and games room area as the host was concerned over a smell she had discovered. We didn’t mind the smell, but she insisted on locking it up. My kids were excited that there was a games room and were sad that we did not get to use any of it.
The property is in a great location, close to beach and supermarket. It’s well set up so we settled in easily and quickly made it our home away from home.The only issue we had was that it was very hot when we stayed and the cooling mode on the heatpump wasn’t as efficient as one hoped.

Heat pumps are heat pumps not really air conditioning units. They are great at moving air around but best if doors are open. We have very recently bought a cooling unit for upstairs to hopefully help the heat gathered there. I’m very pleased you had lovely weather during your stay. Rain and wind makes a summer holiday miserable, even at the famous Mt Maunganui beach. Thanks for your review.
The house is beautiful in an amazing location. The host was lovely, and as we left we bumped into the cleaners who were also lovely! Thank you - we will be back.
Dealing with Ruth was super easy. Property is well equipped with everything you need, it’s clean and safe for children. A 5 minute wander to the beach. Perfect getaway thanks Ruth.
The house was clean and spacious with plenty of room for guests. Be aware the garage is not in play as it is the 4th room. There is room for two cars on the drive and parking outside on the road is plenty. The lounge has air-con which is great over summer
This was a great match for location! 10mins from the Tauranga Domain for Athletics and a 5min walk to the beach at the end of day 😊 supermarket & petrol station also super handy! Thanks for letting the NZ Junior Boy 100m & 200m Champion stay at your home 🤗 walked away with 2 gold medals 🥇

Wow what a wonderful time to be part of. What a champion. We’ll need to keep an eye out for him in the future. Thanks for staying at Tweed. Yes it’s an excellent location being so handy to everything needed for a stay or holiday.
It was a home away from home.
Everything you wanted, very comfortable beds. Excellent location only a block to the beach and a block the other direction for New World supermarket and takeaways. We stayed September school holidays, would love to stay over summer.
Outdoor table, bbq area and outdoor shower. Thank you Ruth your property is really lovely.

This is the perfect property for a group of friends heading away for the weekend.
This is the perfect property for a group of friends heading away for the weekend. There's enough space for everyone plus a great outdoor area with large table and chairs to enjoy the sun. We rolled the table tennis table out onto the lawn and spent an afternoon have a fun (but competitive) tournament.
We hadn't checked out the location when booking so were pleasantly surprised to find the beach was only 250 metres away.
No complaints, we'd definitely book again.

The property is ideal for visiting the area, it included linen and towels so we did not have to worry about anything. I would recommend it for anyone travelling with children as they even have a great space for them to play and sleep.

We bought this holiday home so we could enjoy the Mt beach and surroundings with family and friends. We live in the Bay of Plenty and have enjoyed the Mount since we were children spending year after year visiting and having so much fun at the lovely Mount Beach. We still love the sea sun and outdoors. We enjoy Biking, golfing, cricket, walking, swimming, cafes, dining, music, markets. Our children and grand children and friends just love the proximity of everything making our holiday home so easy to enjoy, to relax and have time away. Its a wonderful easy house, not too big and not too small, private and safe with everything .to make a break away stress free relaxing and enjoyable. It is a perfect area to stay and enjoy all that the Mount offers.
