Wonderful home in quiet neighbourhood near shopping and beach
This was our first visit to Papamoa Beach for my wife and I and we couldn't have been more delighted with this spacious beach house. It's in a quiet and welcoming neighbourhood not far from the Papamoa Plaza shopping centre and the beach. It's within walking distance of an extensive walking path-- which is perfect for walking your dog since this home is also pet-friendly. The beds are comfortable, the garden is cozy and private, and the full kitchen well-stocked with cooking implements. We also got to meet the owners/hosts of the property and found they were extremely friendly and easy to work with. We will absolutely be coming back!

Outstanding location and great living spaces
We took a group of 11-13 boys and some staff members for our AIMS trip and found the place perfect for our needs. Awesome location right at the foot of the Mount within walking distance of the beaches and shops, great living spaces that allow people to do their own thing or come together in the upstairs living room and lots of parking space both on the property and on the street. Highly recommend!

Very comfortable, quiet home
The house was spacious and well appointed. Would be perfect for a family with young kids as has a huge yard. Owners were quick to communicate, and everything was easy to find. Only negative I would give is that between the kitchen and dining room there is a section of the carpet that has pulled away and has exposed staples which a couple of us walked over. Luckily we had no young ones with us so wasn't a big deal. Make sure to bring your own bath mats if you don't get the linen package, as these aren't provided. Kitchen had everything we needed, and house was a 15 minute walk from lots of great cafes and restaurants, as well as supermarkets and anything else you might need. Papamoa beach is also reasonably close, so we spent heaps of time there! Thanks to the owners for a great few days!
