Devon Cottage NZ - a home away from home, a 10 mins away from the beach
We live opposite the holiday home so we are available on-call to help with any problems with regard to extra items required, something not working or advice on local attractions or how to get anywhere!
Generally children are treated as an extra guest as they are still using a bed and all facilities.
A fully furbished 3 bedroom home, all towels and linen supplied, beds made up etc. Just walk in and enjoy a home away from home. We supply corporate/staff accommodation on a regular basis for those companies where it's important that each guest has their own bedroom and space.
Originally designed and built as a Devon Cottage, it has since had an extra bedroom and living area added to it and has been fully refurbished with new luxurious carpeting and bamboo hardwood flooring and art decor.
Very private and generous outdoor entertaining area including BBQ and outdoor furniture.
It can offer:
· 3 bedrooms (sleeps up to six) (2 bedrooms have queen
beds, the other has two single beds, and we can add a
foldaway bed in emergencies) all brand new.
· 2 living areas (one for watching TV etc, the other for
reading/wireless internet activity)
· Brand new floor coverings throughout.
· Fully equipped kitchen with all utensils, full size refrigerator,
dishwasher etc
· Laundry complete with washing machine
· Fujitzu aircon/heatpump
· Wheelchair access including shower area and shower chair
Wireless internet access
If you Google the location you can't see the property because it is located up a private ROW. We live on the opposite side of the driveway so we are able to provide security and immediate assistance for any issues that arise.
·All arterial routes (expressway to Mt Maunganui, expressway leading to Rotorua, Whakatane and East Coast, SH29 to Kaimai summit outlook and over to the Waikato, SH2 to Katikati, Waihi and on to Auckland
· 1 kilometre to New World Brookfield
· 2 kilometres to Fernland Spa
· 2 kilometres to Bethlehem Town Shopping Centre and Countdown
· 6 kilometres to Downtown Tauranga
· 13 kilometres to Downtown Mount Maunganui
· 19 kilometres to Palm Beach Plaza, Papamoa
Special conditions:
As we are located in the middle of a quiet residential area, there can't be any loud noise or music - basically no parties! The cottage is booked and paid for based on the number of guests staying. All visitors must be off site by early evening. We can't allow any stay-overs regardless so make sure your visitors are fit and proper to drive or arrange for their safe return home. Check in time normally around 2pm unless by prior arrangement, check out 10am.
Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$70.00 per stay); Linen (included);

About the host
Hosted by Brian and Sandy Conning

Sandy and I have travelled a lot so we appreciate the things you look for in making your accommodation and stay enjoyable. We have put a lot of time and energy into refurbishing the property when we bought it and are still developing the grounds and outside area.
Why they chose this property
This property was close to our own and was not well maintained by a succession of owners so we decided it needed some TLC both inside and out. A lot of compliments to Sandy on her gardens and I continue to enhance the use of the outside space by covering over the rear decked area with a pergola.
What makes this property unique
We've tried to ensure it's like a home away from home, a cottage style home with beautiful and colourful gardens and as comfortaable as possible. Very near to many facilities and local attractions, in fact one of the most comments we get is how central it is to everything and the ease of getting to all places quickly ( Mt Maunganui, Papamoa, CBD, The Crossing at Tauriko, heading to Auckland etc). There are supermarkets close by (award winning Brookfield New World.1.5 km, a large Woolworths at Bethlehem Shopping Centre 3km, a K Mart and Chemist Warehouse, along with many food outlets and shopping centres at Fraser Cove, Bay Central, CBD, Downtown Mt Maunganui, Bayfair, and The Crossing at Tauriko. Mount Main Beach has been voted best beach holiday destination in NZ for more than 7 years in a row by Trip Advisor. There you will find the only salt water hot pools in NZ although we have our own local mineral hot springs and swimming pool only 3 minutes away from the cottage (Fernland Spa).. We live opposite the cottage and can advise you on many local attractions and the quickest and best way to get there. We welcome business and corporate clients as our location allows ease of access to get to most places quickly and easily, avoiding most heavy traffic delay areas. Most guests express how much they enjoyed and how comfortable their stay was.
We hope to see you soon....
