Homely feel. Peace and quiet. Well equipped.

The owners where so beautiful and the location was so nice and quiet

The house was so relaxed and comfortable

Somewhat difficult to find the location

Relaxing location, great as a base for touring. Beautifully equipped apartment and the owners were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend a stay here.

Comfortable, clean with everything needed on hand! Lovely host- thank you!

Spacious and serene, superbly located in a leafy garden setting, great to come home to after a day out, and relax on the patio as birds sing in the woodland-style flora and fauna. The home is quite separate and away from the main home so is private. Has an AC to keep you cool on hot summer days and additional fans if you prefer those instead. Hosts are responsive and lovely to deal with.

Always great hospitality from host

Lovely garden setting, quiet. Outstanding accommodation modern and impeccably clean.

You get alot for your money, especially compared to a motel at a similar price. Will happily return

High standard of facilities and superb location

Very peaceful and lovely place to stay

Nothing

We travelled for six weeks through Australia and New Zealand and these were by far the best accommodations we had

Really great communication between me and the hosts. The suite is well furnished and decorated with a full kitchen. Beds were comfortable. Fantastic quiet secluded accommodation and still an easy drive to everywhere in Tauranga.

There is nothing that I would change :)

The unit is well presented, very comfortable and well laid out

Nothing

This is a fantastic spot. Nicely placed in Tauranga close to the mall. Lovely and clean and tidy. Super comfortable bed and pillows which is always a huge plus! The hosts were lovely and my daughter hasn't stopped asking to get a dog 'just like rossie or mollie' will definitely stay again if we need tga accommodation

No complaints, can't even think up a negative!

Perfect place for our two night stay. Lovely quiet location, house was very well equipped, comfy beds and great hosts.

The space..the quietness...overall a lovely place...hospitality and kindness of the owners

Large cockroaches...fly spray fixed them though

Very private with lovely outlook. Fantastic host. Everything you could possibly need was catered for. Fresh bread with condiments was a lovely touch.

I cannot fault one thing about our stay! The apartment was immaculate, Bev and her husband were absolutely lovely and my mum and I totally felt like we were staying in a 'home away from home'. If I return to Tauranga I will certainly stay here again. Bev has thought of every detail to make the apartment welcoming and with everything you could need. My mum and I thoroughly enjoyed sitting outside in the peaceful surroundings each evening and being able to self-cater with the shops only a 5 min drive up the road. A 15min drive brings you to the beach/The Mount. Thank you Bev!

The space, facilities, bed, peaceful area, everything!

Having to leave after the stay, as we were too comfortable 🙂

Very enjoyable, lovely location and very handy. Will definitely stay again.

Amazing peaceful property, fab location, plenty of room and nice comfy beds. Great hosts

Had everything we needed, little touches, like milk, homemade jams and a fresh loaf of bread were greatly appreciated

No dryer

Superbly appointed with beautiful furnishings and everything you could possibly need to settle in quickly Friendly and helpful hosts Quiet and relaxing location

Beautiful quiet surroundings. Very comfortable beds, had everything you would need. Very happy with our stay. Lovely host.

Everything.

Was a great place, spacious, good facilities, parking, quiet, and the hosts were so friendly and welcoming. 100% highly recommended.

It can be a little hard to find, but once you're there it's easy.

Hosts were lovely - communicative and friendly. Loved the bread on the second day - such a nice touch! The bed was super comfortable.

Cannot think of anything to improve. The place was great!

Seriously loved everything! Bev and Rick are super special hosts with the most! Internet fast. Shower and bathroom large. Water pressure good. Toiletries supplied. Little touches like boxes of tissues by sides of each bed and side lamps appreciated. Lovely variety of herbal teas Ong with normal tea, coffee, sugar and real milk. Beds super comfy in both bedrooms. Queen in master. A king single and single in 2nd room. Blinds kept rooms dark at night. At end of a small side road and super, super quiet. Is out of fray of Tauranga centre, best if you have your own transport. Exceptionally clean. Heating worked wonderfully. Couldn't fault our 3N stay. We WILL be back. Thank you Bev, thank you Rick.

Very good communication and instructions upon arrival

A lovely, modern cottage nestled with it a gorgeous garden.

Quiet- away from the street; very comfortable; relaxing outlook onto lawn & trees; away from the busy part of Tauranga BUT still close to everywhere we wanted to access

nothing

The cottage was clean and warm and felt like home away from home. Bev made a delicious loaf of bread for breakfast it was incredible. The beautiful garden that we only got to apriciate the next morning was a beautiful surprise as we arrived late. Bev was very accommodating as we arrived after check in time and then over slept before checking out. I would love to go back for another stay soon.

Hosts very friendly and welcoming, accommodation very clean and comfortable a real home from home, will not hesitate to book again.

We as a family have no reason to complain about anything, really enjoyed our stay.

A lovely beautiful comfortable place that we enjoyed our stay. Great communication and friendly owner.

Nothing

The privacy. Bev was friendly and lovely to deal with. The home made bread was devine and a nice surprise.

home from home feel with warm freshly baked bread in the mornings. very lovely host.

if possible more of a reclining/relaxing area. the outdoor space was limited.

The hosts, couldn't have been more helpful, before and during our trip, and the location is beautiful

Nothing, only advice is that you need a car to access local restaurants, stores etc ....

The neighborhood was stunningly beautiful! The house had all the cookware we needed to make ourselves meals, and a large refrigerator. Bev provided fresh milk, butter and jam, coffee and tea. We loved that the house had screens on all the windows. The gardens and views were beautiful. The place was very clean. We also enjoyed chatting with Bev, she was so welcoming and a great host!

lovely and quiet

Outstanding amazing cottage in peaceful garden setting. Wonderful hosts. Just fabulous!

Very comfortable, spotless with all new facilities - a home from home with very welcoming and friendly hosts

Spotlessly clean, Bev is the perfect hostess. Quiet and peaceful. Will definitely stay there again

Our stay was amazing! The “retreat” makes sense! convenient parking, beautiful clean cozy home away from the road for our 4 person stay! the event we travelled to Tauranga for was cancelled but we were happy cause we had great accom and Bevs bread! We would love to come stay every time we’re in TGA, thanks so much Bev.

nothing. it was perfect. 10 stars Bev!

Fantastic property. Beautifully looked after and has everything you could possibly need for your stay. Very welcoming hosts. We updated definitely recommend.

This is a lovely 2 bedroom apartment, spacious and tastefully decorated. We loved the firmer beds after enduring mushy mattresses at other places all over the North Island. The kitchen has everything necessary to prepare and enjoy meals. There is a covered patio with seating that overlooks a well tended garden full of birds and blooms. Bev and Rick were gracious and accommodating hosts. Bev even presented us with a hot out-of-the-oven loaf of bread for our first breakfast at this unit. Thank you for your many kindnesses! The location is quiet and we thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay. I recommend their lodging unconditionally.

Not a thing.

we enjoyed the peace and tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of the town. The property is well maintained with many flowering plants and fruit trees that attract a variety of song birds. Bev the owner is very warm, welcoming and friendly making sure that the visitors are comfortable.

Cambridge road can get very busy in the morning and the access road to the property is barely visible from the main road.

Very friendly and welcoming hosts. Handy location, lovely and spotless unit, beautiful gardens and quiet place to relax after a busy day. Absolutely everything any visitor could wish for is available! Bev's home baked bread was a wonderful Sunday breakfast treat! We will definitely be back.

Great hosts, peaceful setting, beautiful gardens, comfortable bed and furniture. Wonderful stay.

The property has easy excess with beautiful views. Plenty of space + lovely and accommodating hosts
