Property and surroundings beautiful. When we saw the size of Tauranga, first timers, we were worried we would have difficulty finding this gem. It was so simple and easy. And wonderful companion for Merlin in Zeus and the parents of Zeus were great too.

wonderful stay AGAIN

We were happy to come back to stay here again. it was again a lovely experience. Such a peaceful and gorgeous place. Thank you for the feijoas and mandarins :) The kids are already missing Zeus. Sorry we didn't say goodbye on Sunday, but I didn't want to bother you on Mother's Day by knocking on the door and interrupting.

Short stay for sports competitions

This house provided space and everything we needed. It was very enjoyable and beautifully maintained. There was also an outdoor decking area, so although it was raining we didn't have to be inside all the time. :). I was very happy in choosing this place and the beds were great esp the king singles.

Beautiful cottage, semi rural setting

This is a wonderful semi rural property. Very quiet and private. The cottage was extremely tidy and clean with pet bowls outside so your furry friends are catered for. The shower was next level with amazing pressure. The main bedroom was very spacious and the bed was comfy. We also had the owners Doggo visit the following morning to welcome us. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Tauranga with or without rheir pets.
