Manager was excellent and very accommodating. The units dryer was OOO which was inconvenient but the manager was able to provide an option. The stovetop wasn’t intuitive. I had to look online for operating instructions. It was a simple child lock feature but would be helpful to have some easy instructions for future.

The property is directly across from the beach. We stayed in a 3-bedroom that opened directly out toward the ocean. It was very convenient to the area - we hiked Mt Tauranga and went on a dolphin cruise-both within 10 minute driving time.
