This property was absolutely immaculate!! Tasteful decor, and most certainly clean and tidy. Lots of extras such as board games, beach gear, bikes, bbq… the list goes on. A short walk to Bayfair Shopping Centre and a 10 min drive to the mount. Would definitely stay here again.

Excellent accommodation for a family. The property was clean and tidy, well set up and had a home away from home feeling. This place is fully fenced which was really important as i have two young children. The backyard was great for the kids to run and play. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend.

Everything at your avail
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Debra’s place. It is so well appointed and honestly has everything you need and more! Location was great for us, as we were at Baywave all weekend but equally quick drive to the main shops, eateries and beaches in Mount Maunganui. Great amenities, quality homewares and the added touch of basic food items for use was really appreciated. BBQ is great and the outdoor area so relaxing with the abundant fruit trees. Lots to keep family and friend groups occupied here, whatever the weather. Thank you Debra, we WILL be back 😊

I'd fully recommend this bach. It's modern, fully equipt include use of bikes and umbrella. All modern appliances and unlike a few baches I've stayed at this one is fully equiped. Don't bother bringing you favoured cooking utils. thi place has it all. Debra kindly offered us an extra night when I stuffed up and got wrong day for exit. Thanks sooo much :) About a 10 min drive to the mount and 5-6 mins to Papamoa. Centrally located. We loved our stay. Thanks again

Value for money
Perfect accomodation for myself and family. Nice quiet location, easily accessible and nearby to shopping centre, pools and playground. Good sized safe section for toddler to play outside. Very good value for what you pay, one of the best places we have stayed. Very clean and tidy. Will definitely remember this property for any future trips to the mount.

Such a great stay. The house was private, clean, modern and well stocked with linen and essentials. The beds were comfortable and the yard was tidy and fully fenced.

We were a group of three friends, staying for 9 nights. We loved the house; it was clean, well equipped, had everything we needed and more. It was on a quiet street, and had a great outdoor space with a verandah and a well-kept garden. Debra was an excellent communicator, friendly and helpful. We hope to return next year.
