About this property

Family retreat house Papamoa

Papamoa is a beautiful peaceful location and that describes the house. Large outdoor area that we call the 'barn' is a perfect place to chill hidden from direct sun or enjoy the fireplace in evening. You can also indulge in a 4m heated by sun swimming pool that even has a waterfall. It is 5 mins walk to beach, 2km to Papamoa Plaza Shopping centre and restaurants, or 2km to Bayfair Shopping Centre. Mount Maunganui is about 15 mins drive. The house has 4 bedrooms, but we reserve one bedroom to keep our belongings, it is fully air- conditioned and has a space for 6 cars or boat and 4 cars. The master bedroom has a queen size bed, bedroom 1 has very large single, bedroom 2 has large single and a bunk bed, plus there is a sofa double bed in a very spacy living room.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

Papamoa paradise

Amazing house and outside facilities - the kids loved the pool and trampoline. The back yard being fully fenced meant we could relax knowing they were contained and could play away happily. So close to the beach and a nearby playground, we couldn't have wanted for anything else.

nice family home in quiet area

the house was perfect for a family, all modern needs catered for, with internet, washing and dishwashing machines. Spacious lounge/diner/kitchen was great for daytime and evenings, with loads of light, and opening doors to patio and garden areas. pool and outside seating was a great addition, and the walk to the beach is only 10 minutes. plenty space for the car, and nice friendly neighbours, even invited us over for a drink.
