By The Harbour

Fabulous communication. Accom very tidy and spacious. Pool small but great to cool off in. Sometumes a bit noisy from floor creaking upstairs. Location fantastic.

I booked this place mainly because my daughter loves swimming, so having a plunge pool was an important reason for choosing this property. Unfortunately, the pool was closed and not available to use, which was very disappointing and not mentioned in the listing. Another major issue was the kitchen setup. There is no proper kitchen sink, and we were told to wash dishes in the bathroom, which is very uncomfortable and not hygienic. This does not match the description of having a kitchenette or suitable cooking facilities. The outdoor space for the pool and barbecue also looks unused and not maintained, making it feel non-functional and not enjoyable. Because of all these issues, the property did not match the listing at all. We left the place within one hour of checking in and had to book another accommodation instantly, which ended up costing us more. Overall, this was not the experience we expected when booking.

Very private. Handy to beach for the children. Child friendly. Great hosts especially the very friendly cat! Thank you for a relaxing stay.

Warmly welcomed. A lovely unit, roomy, neat and quiet. Very nice place to stay. Fully recommend this accommodation

A very conveniently located property. We were only there to sleep and shower but the beds were comfortable and the shower had good pressure.

Quiet, had a nice “feel” (I’m used to motels and hotels, and this felt more like staying with friends), well priced, well-equipped, friendly owners. If I had to find fault / wanted to change anything, the lounge was a bit small (the place sleeps 4, but only a two-seater couch), but if the purpose of your visit to Tauranga isn’t to sit there and watch TV, you’ll probably be fine! WiFi was also patchy, but then it seems to be in almost every hotel/motel I’ve stayed in. But neither of these things are deal-breakers. Would happily return.

Thank you for a wonderful stay. Great host and Sergeant was wonderful with my daughter.

Hosts we're wonderful. Sarge the resident cat was incredibly attentive (we would visit again just for his cuddles, he's a real character). We were made to feel very welcome, David and Karen even joined us for a drink when we were having user issues with the TV. This unit is bright, warm, quiet and clean with a very safe feel about it. Only a short stroll to the waterfront.

Good for price, however, a bit inconvenient not having water/sink in the kitchen facilities, other than that, excellent for a small family and short time.

Very peaceful and quiet location. Beautiful surroundings and a very enjoyable and clean property. Owners made us feel really welcome. Absolutely would recommend this property to anyone.

We really enjoyed the outdoor table and BBQ,had a lovely walk down to beach and park, very handy to everything. Our hosts were great, friendly and welcoming, would love to stay agai

Karen and Dave were amazing and very welcoming. It was a wonderful place to stay

A great family spot with nice hosts too!

Fantastic and friendly hosts. A great location if you want to stay away from the noise of the Mount...yet only 15min drive to get back into it. Highly recommended place to stay.

Property very small more like a b&b booked online said as breakfast included nothing as such no clothes dryer as described overall very clean property ,host very welcoming

A nice location close to estuary, big park, shops etc. My grandchildren loved the park. Comfortable and clean with everything you need to chill out and enjoy the views.
