About this property

Skip through the Dunes to beautiful Papamoa Beach

Sunny and bright two bedroom self contained apartment on the ground floor of a house situated directly across the road from beautiful Papamoa Beach. Very clean, nice relaxed beach styling.
Great location with supermarkets, takeaways, shops, cafes and bars all within walking distance or a short drive away. A new build complete with double glazing and a heat pump to keep you cool in summer and cozy and warm in the cooler weather. Well equipped kitchen with all you need to prepare and cook meals to dine in. Full size fridge, oven, hobs, dishwasher, microwave and plenty of bench space with seating along the breakfast bar and table and chairs in the covered outdoor area.

The main bedroom has a queen bed. The second bedroom has two long single beds which can convert to a superking bed, if requested, providing beds for two couples.

A relaxing open plan living area with easy care floors for no stress beach holiday. The TV is on swivel arm and can be viewed happily from the lounge area, or also the kitchen/breakfast bar area.

A barbecue and seating is out on the deck area for those beautiful days when you just want to chill and eat at home.

Recently installed hot/cold outdoor surfboard shower. Such bliss after a day at the beach!!!!

BYO Fishing Rod and Surfboard! Papamoa Beach is a safe swimming beach for the best part of the year but if you are more comfortable swimming under the watchful eye of the Surf Club members then it is only a short walk down the beach to swim between the flags.

The local area is flat and suitable for walking and biking. The bus stops are close and the local Papamoa Plaza provides a hub to catch buses for other locations in the Bay.

Papamoa Domain is a short walk down the road, where between Nov and Mar there is a weekly artisan market held on a Thursday evening. A bit further away is the Papamoa Plaza with Fashion Island with outlet shops and more. Two supermarkets are in the area, with cafes and eateries dotted around for a variety of dining options.

Bed linen, bath and beach towels are included. The place is professionally cleaned after each reservation so a high standard of cleanliness can be assured.

Check in is 3pm, with a departure of 10am - unless by prior arrangement.

Special conditions:
* Suitable for young families and mature guests.
* Strictly no parties!
* Smoking - outside only;
* No pets;

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$80 per stay);

Beautiful beach home away from home

Great spot across the road from the beach. Very handy to the surf club for safe swimming & Papamoa plaza for shopping. The apartment is very comfortable, well presented & equipped. Our host Catherine was very welcoming, left us to do our own thing but was available by mobile if we had any questions. We enjoyed our stay

The perfect holiday home

Everything was just perfect, location couldn't be better, a walk away from the beach and shops/restaurants. The home was so clean and comfortable, with all the necessary amenities. Toys were awesome too. Highly recommended, will definitely book again.

Relaxing stay right next to the beach.

This was the perfect holiday oasis. The property was beautiful and had everything we needed. Catherine's extra touches made it a home away from home. Being so close to the beach was an added bonus. We can't wait to stay here again.

Fabulous beach getaway

We had the most amazing three days staying in this gorgeous beach side apartment. Beautifully decorated with beach theme throughout. Board games, books and cards for those wet days and plenty of towels, blankets etc. we spent our evenings by candlelight on the deck listening to the ocean waves. But the best bit ..... amazing hot outdoor shower to warm up after chilly, wave crashing swims. Thanks Catherine and Denis we can’t wait to come back!!!

Very accommodating thoughtful hosts who respect your space. The accommodation is wonderfully supplied for kids, plenty of toys, beach toys, plastic cutlery/plates etc, with a fully fenced front garden. Everything is clean, fresh and new. Great location just across the road from the beach.

Fantastic family holiday

We had a lovely week in Papamoa and the place was ideal - clean, tidy, well equipped and close to beach and shops. Catherine was the most thoughtful host even leaving boxes of toys for the kids to play with and flexible timing checking in and out. Highly recommend for a family getaway

Cosy place, styled beautifully and Catherine is a lovely host. Thoughtful touches like the boxes of toys for kids. The outdoor deck and garden area help it feel less like a small apartment.

Lovely property across road from beach

This is beautifully decorated and well set up. A smaller property but with everything you need (except we would have loved a dryer as we were here for a waterpolo tournament with masses of wet towels). Loved staying here, and will be back

We stayed for 3 nights. It has all amenities for making your own meals, or there are takeaways and restaurants just down the road. The kids really enjoyed the toys bins - such a bonus when travelling with kids. The location is perfect with the beach is across the road. We would love to come back.

Perfect location

This property is modern, functional and clean, attention to detail such as personal restaurant experiences in your 'things to do' folder, lovely candles and a heat pump were really nice touches. Papamoa beach is just across the road so morning walks were a great way to start the day. The bedrooms were spacious and well considered and the unit has everything you need. All communications were easy and responded to quickly, it was such a nice stay. Thanks Catherine & Denis
