Lovely location backing onto the reserve. Very peaceful and quiet. Only negative for us was that we were unable to leave the door open for our dog to enjoy snuffling around outside as there is no fencing at all.

We were happy to find such a quite, well appointed, roomy and clean place to stay in Papamoa. Tucked away from the main road with great onsite parking too. We'll be back for sure.

This place is great. It's way bigger than you'd expect. Everything works well. It has the most amazing location backing onto a big reserve with really easy access to the beach, just a short walk.Highly recommended

We really enjoyed our weekend away, lovely and clean everything we needed and more. Path from our unit into the park and then across the road to the beach. Would love to come back again . Thankyou
We have stayed in higher value properties promising the earth that haven't delivered however this property does deliver. With a fully equipped kitchen and a large bbq at our disposal we were able to cook homestyle meals with ease. The property backs onto a reserve and is away from the main house allowing an atmosphere of privacy and seclusion. Other than a few ants (which we deal with occasionally at home and was not an issue for us) this property was well suited to our needs, very clean and more than adequately equipped. We would highly recommend this property and would certainly stay again. All dealings with our host were a pleasure, although we were unable to meet them in person all communication was conducted pleasantly and efficiently.

Great space
This is presumably a granny flat and as such it is spacious and has all the features of a home. Garden connects to the local walkway so great if, like us, you have a dog. Highly recommended.

Absolutely Fabulous...
A warm welcoming hug on arrival ... made my one night stay extra special... I enjoyed reading some of the lovely comments in both visitor books 1 and 2... will return for longer stay....
Large, comfortable clean flat in perfect position for our needs. Friendly but non-obtrusive property owner. Great outside space. Perhaps needed a few more cleaning items for use before we could get to the shops. need a few

Overnight in Papamoa
Diane was very friendly to both me and my little dog, Poppy. The accomodation was beautiful and very convenient to going to the beach.
The house is next door to a reserve.
The only negarive was I found the bed very soft.

This was a great place to stay for 2 people. Very peaceful and quiet. The unit is separated from the main house by the garage so it also quite private as well. Really enjoyed our stay.

Really enjoyed our stay in this amazing back. Roomy, clean and beautiful outlook. We were allowed to have our mini dachshund with us which was amazing. Thank you
Property backs on to a very pretty reserve with long walks along the stream to other parts of Papamoa.

My husband and son stayed here while competing in the Aims Games competition. It was their second time staying and would stay again as its away from the hustle and bustle and a quiet place to rest at the end of a full on day of sports.Lovely hosts too.
