Hosts, Peter and Jenny welcomed us into their lovely home with warmth. They are a lovely couple. Beautiful views from the lounge and balcony. Kitchen had all the utensils and facilities to cook a nice meal. Rooms were clean and tidy. The entire home was sparkling clean.

Sehr schönes Zimmer und sehr nette Gastgeber, immer wieder gerne!
Great hosts and accommodation.
The house is not all yours. Shared kitchen and living room with the hosts.
This is a family home/BnB located in a residential area of the city. The host were great and the house was very clean. The shower was great. I would stay again, but you need a car.
Great location and fab communication from the friendly hosts
Our host was very friendly and engaging. Generous and relaxed, lovely view.
We had hoped for a cooked breakfast and would have liked tea making facilities in our room.
Fantastic Views, Awesome Hospitality and Amazing Welcome ! Peter and Jenny made me feel right at home and the best sleep I have had in years! Freshly brewed coffee for breakfast as well as a choice of cereals and toast set me up for the day! I will be back again!
Liked everything about this stay and the company and hospitality were awesome!
I’m very glad I chose such a warm and cozy B&B for our stay—it really felt like coming home and living like a local. The breakfast was simple but delicious. Thank you, Peter and Jenny!
環境很乾淨,主人Peter人很好

I liked all of it. The most lovely of people and such a wonderful home. It was a privilege accommodated so attentively and to be treated so well.
Nothing to change.. it was beyond perfect for our requirements
Peter and Julia are excellent hosts — they make you feel at home straight away. Peter makes a delicious coffee, and the breakfast is great. I’d happily stay there again anytime.
Friendly host. Very comfortable place to stay. Good size room and bed.
Excellent accommodation and very hospital hosts. Cheese on toast went down a treat! Excellent local knowledge. Recommended Mount Manuganui. We managed the parking and did the path rather than the steps. Good advice in 27C temp. They are the stars! Thanks Tim and Vicky.

Hosts were very friendly and helpful. Room was lovely. The views from the house are exceptional.
Great hosts super friendly and a mass of knowledge.
Lovely, friendly hosts, great chats, awesome views, had a wonderful stay, thank you so much!
B & B I thought I meant a place to my self not a room in someone’s house. The couple who own the house were super lovely and accomodating. It was just a bit awkward having to walk through a family home to get to my room.
The property is amazing as are the hosts. If you don’t mind being in someone’s home you should book this place.
L accueil exceptionnel la gentillesse des propriétaires Les accommodations exceptionnelles , l emplacement de la maison vue sublime sur le mont Nous y sommes comme chez nous ❤️
Rien , nec plus ultra
Excellent and quiet location. Great hosts. Best coffee in town.
The host.

The hosts are amazing and could not be more welcoming. Bed was comfortable and having a pizza with them to watch the AB's play was a nice way to spend the evening.
I could not fault anything, everything meet or exceeded my expectations. You wont be disappointed.
Clean and great hosts.

The location was private and we were offered an extra room free of cost for my adult daughter which gave us more room to be free to do our own thing. Peter also allowed us to check in earlier than expected as we were drenched from watching my daughter's first AIMS Netball game when we arrived in Tauranga. He carried our heavy bags in and offered a fresh cup of brewed flat white coffee each morning with free continental breakfast. Jenny was also very accommodating as well as their pet dog Coco who is very particular with people but a sweet lil dog. They also allowed on the last night for my daughter to stay overnight after the AIMS games finished before we checked out the following morning.
It felt like we were invading the owners space as it was their home and they were a retired couple and stayed home 5/6 days I had booked. With the NZAIMS games a 20min drive away and unpredictable timings of games we didn't know when we'd be back to the accommodation. We couldn't really enjoy the living area or use the kitchen area as often as we would have liked and ate out most of the times which was not part of our budget. There was only one night we cooked dinner and breakfast out of the 6 days we were there. We stayed in our rooms most of our stay. It was my first time experiencing air bnb so in future I would book a separate unit next time with own cooking facilities. But otherwise we were very happy with everything overall for a last minute booking and the positives of this lovely beautiful home and Peter and Jenny definitely outweighed any negatives we had.
Room was really clean and spacious. Great view from the main room - excellent breakfast and great conversation! Highly recommended and will return if we are back in the area!
It’s a beautiful place to stay with a beautiful bay view. Owners are very welcoming and friendly.
Great hospitality, lovely hosts.
Nothing I didn't like about up in the stars bnb
Excellent view in the morning and warm and cozy
Host Peter was amazing , he made us feel like home and we did not felt we were staying here for the first time . He even gave us a complimentary room for our kid. He was kind and generous Host. View was just Perfect Definitely recommended 🤗
The owners are very helpful. Beautiful view incorporating Tauranga Harbour, the Mount and Mayor island. Lovely comfy bed with large screen TV
Great breakfast, great coffee, great view!;
Lots to choose from. Delicious juice. Nice coffee brew too.
Extremely pleasant stay. Very friendly welcome. Very well equipped and comfortable room. Everything was perfect. Thanks to Jenny and Peter
Absolutely nothing
Peter and Jenny were fantastic hosts for our stay. The view from their balcony was amazing overlooking Tauranga. They suggested places to visit and greeted us with coffee and breakfast in the morning. We would recommend staying at their B&B to our friends and family. They were always up for a chat and made us feel welcomed.

Fantastic view from balcony of the mt, coast & harbour. Pete & Jen very friendly , made us feel at home. Very informal.
You need access to car to get to main areas. Not an issue for us but might be for others.
Peaceful homestay with amazing views across the water. Great hospitality from the hosts. Cafe quality flatwhites and hot chocs for breakfast. Big shower and good WiFi.
The area was lovely, views were amazing, the venue was neat and tidy. The hospitality was top notch.
The bed was a little uncomfortable.
Peter and Jenny were perfect hosts - friendly and welcoming to their lovely house. Nothing was too much trouble for them to help and assist. Lots of nice touches that made the visit more special. Very comfy bed, lovely bathroom and good healthy breakfast.

Beautiful host
Beautiful view
Peter and Jenny are very nice. Their balcony has a view of the sea and the mountain. The pittosporum flowers in the garden are blooming beautifully. The scenery outside the window is like an oil painting. The breakfast is very rich and delicious. When we left, Peter even placed a beautiful pittosporum flower in front of our car window. It was so warm.
Everything is perfect.
Perfect location with seaview. Awsome breakfast in the morning, house got everything you need. Peter and Jenny are nice hosts, look after there guests with a friendly nature. Highly recommended, better than any motel or hotel.
Everything was perfect.

Peter and Jenny were very welcoming hosts and the accommodation was clean and comfortable. Amazing view. Nice breakfast.
The people Jenny and Peter very friendly and informative about the area.
Everything was fine
Comfortable and very clean. Very welcoming and friendly hosts. Even though the room was in the main house we had the privacy of our own wing.
A bit far from city centre but lovely views.
Breakfast was great. Hospitality, hosts were awesome. More like family. Everything was top notch. The accommodation was more than we expected ❤️
Nothing, not to like. We loved everything. ❤️
Peter and Jenny are very kind people, they welcomed us with a delicious coffee, the view is beautiful, the rooms are spacious and clean, and the breakfast is excellent. This Colombian family would definitely come back again. 🇨🇴
Peter and Jenny were great hosts very friendly and their home was very comfortable, clean, warm and stunning views.
Nothing that we didn't like at all was a very pleasant stay.
Peter and Jenny so lovely & amazing couple. The place is so neat and tidy with awesome views to the Mt. Coco is a plus to my girl because she missed her pet Lizzy. The complimentary breakfast with barista coffee is a superb ++++! We will definitely stay here again.
Jenny and Peter are such incredible hosts and their Coco is the cutest guard dog you will ever meet. I left wanting to come back just to spend time with our hosts and googling dogs.
Peter and Jenny were very hospitable anf knowledgeable. Great hosts
Great location, in spite of of the weather. We were the only guests so didn’t need to share the bathroom, not to sure if there were other guests. Everything was well presented and spotlessly clean.
Very friendly hosts, enjoyed their company.There was nothing we didn’t like .
It was a quiet neighborhood as it was located in a residential area. For breakfast, they prepared bread, butter, jam, bananas, kiwis, beverages, and yogurt.
Our room was right next to the host's room, so we could hear all the snoring. During breakfast, the host sat on the sofa right next to the dining table, which made us very uncomfortable. My child felt uneasy and said they couldn't eat well because of it.
Lovely couple, amazing views, extremely hospitable. Highly recommend.

Great hosts, beautiful views, very clean, would highly recommend visiting.
Friendly hosts Lovely room
Peter, Jenny, and their son are lovely hosts. They were hospitable, kind, and super welcoming. They waited for us to arrive later than expected. The rooms were lovely and the beds comfy. The view was beautiful in the morning. The breakfast was thoughtfully prepared every morning at the hour we requested. Note: You'll definitely need a car (or take ubers) to get around outside the B&B.
Plenty of variety for breakfast and place was close to city centre. Place was clean, comfortable and hosts were very friendly.
Nice, clean and comfortable. Engaging host who makes a great coffee. . Amazing view from property.
