Summary: Was enjoyable as we love the ocean. Big enough for a family of 7, just needs more chairs, especially to sit on the deck and needs an upstairs shower. We all loved the lift!

Summary: The house was ok, the bedrooms could with a bit of love it had everything we needed but it did have a strong musty smell especially in the downstairs bedrooms and upstairs as you walk towards to the bathroom. Apart from that the house was great, very spacious and plenty of room. Make sure to stock up on supplies in Te Puke as there is a small dairy, a fish n chip shop which closes at 7pm and a cafe that doesnt open until 9am... this is definitly for those who prefer to get away from the noise to wind down and chill from city life if thats what you prefer... Tauranga, Papamoa and the Mount are about a 20 to 30 minute drive away

Summary: This place has a magical feel, we loved sitting on the deck watching the kids jumping into the river, the sun going down, and saying kiaora to the locals walking past. Its an old school traditional bach, so back to basics amenties, and probably needs a reno downstairs to get rid of the musty smell, and the slaters in the batheoom might suggest theres wood rot somewhere. Wade was very friendly and put up with my questions, and even sent my mum her phone that she left there.
