The place had a variety of spaces to relax (multiple reclining chairs and a huge TV!) and directly across the road from the beach for an early sunrise visit. Toni responded to my messages promptly everytime. Would highly recommend anyone staying here!! ##### Stephanie S. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen J. Mar 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect spot We were a multigenerational family up in Papamoa for a family wedding. Location was perfect- just a 12 Uber to the surf club where the wedding was. Teenagers loved the closeness to the beach, having the boogie boards was an added bonus and saved us having to pack them. Have all the linen available was perfect as we also didn’t have to carry sheets etc with us. The couches were super comfortable for everyone- good sized kitchen and dining and the bedroom/bed layout was perfect for us. A second toilet would have been a bonus but not needed. Spa pool was perfect for the evening times. An outside shower to get all the sand off us would be good, but we just used the hose to get sand off, though some always managed to stay on us! Would love to stay here again- anytime of the year as well. Thanks ##### Karen J. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Calvin S.
