Peaceful rural location with great outlooks to the habour. Exceptional garden. Generous breakfast provided with tasty home made muesli
Homely, warm and beautiful gardens and surroundings.
No outside light sensor when we came in at night.
A excellent selection for breakfast from the cupboard to the fridge. The property was just beautiful a lot of hard work has gone into this property and our dog love it as well.

Lovely grounds. Comfortable and warm. Friendly helpful staff and cat.
Spacious, well appointed
Supplied breakfast options (homemade muesli was yummy), tasted Tamarillo from the orchard for the first time, huge garden, the homemade soap, Spa pool, warm accommodation, Sue was an amazing host,
Kitchen space is tiny, cooking cutlery was old and peeling off worth replacing with new, no living room but was offered a bigger space in the garage that has big smart tv and couple of couches.
The little things like homemade chutney, muesli soap and especially the orange juice was delicious. They also supplied everything you would need for breakfast if you missed the shops …….Beautiful space out the back and the weather was warm and sunny for our 2 night stay.
No living room
This is the perfect escape for those wanting to just get away and relax. You don’t even need to leave, and the local food is to die for so having a cheeky dinner in and a spa to relax and unwind is perfect.
Everything was perfect.
lovely place and owner. breakfast option was lovely; fresh fruits, milk, juice, yogurth, cereal, chocolates, and more. peaceful and calm like we was looking for and very private.
Absolutely nothing to complaint about.
Good amount of space, lovely decor and great grounds

Perfect location. Beautiful views. Very tranquil. Lovely hosts. Good WiFi. All the facilities you require. Lots of food choice in fridge and cupboards for breakfast.
I don’t believe anyone would find anything to dislike about this property. There are two cats so if you are allergic/dislike cats this property is ,sadly, not for you!
EVERYTHING

A very generous stocked fridge and pantry. The chocolates were a added bonus and a delight! The bathroom was also very generously stocked. Plenty of spaces. Lovely relaxing decor. Desk and chair plus dressing gowns a bonus in the bedroom. The spa and the outdoor area, the highlight. We also loved the cats 🐈 😻
There was some mould on the curtains in the small bedroom with single beds.
I like everything it was very comfortable and accessible to Omokoroa. Some lovely touches with the easter chocolate xxx
Bit small in the kitchen and one toilet would be a small inconvenience with more people but other than that it was very very nice
Beautiful garden setting with views to Bay, felt private with use of outdoor lounge/spa area, extremely good value, lovely welcoming host and great breakfast provisions. Easy trip into Manganui. Comfortable beds.
Bit of floorboard noise from above, most living spaces outdoor so need good weather.
Our host Sue was just lovely! We had three very spacious bedrooms which were decorated luxuriously, and the beds were so comfortable. So much so, we found ourselves arising after 8am each day! The gardens are spectacular, and had been freshly mowed prior to our arrival. Flowers were in bloom in abundance, and the views were amazing. We had a very well stocked and generous pantry and fridge for our stay. Sue has a little hobby cottage where she makes natural soaps and earrings, amongst other things. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend to everyone.
Spotlessly clean and stylish rooms with comfy beds. Also beautiful and quiet garden perfect for stargazing. The owner Sue was very nice to prepare the spa tub and outdoor seating for our use. Plenty of breakfast options provided too. Really great value for such a quality accommodation! Thank you Sue!
יחס נעים, מקום יפה ושקט
ארוחת בוקר הכנו בעצמנו עם המוצרים שהשאירו לנו. לא היה מבחר גדול מידי. היה חסר לנו גבינות וירקות.
We stayed in this delightful home for two nights. A friend stayed with us for one night which was arranged without issue. The rooms were clean and bright. We chose the largest room that had air conditioning and a most comfortable bed. The garden was outstanding with a hot tub which we used after a long day sightseeing. Very refreshing! Our hosts were friendly and eager to make our stay a positive experience.
We hand no complaints.
Beautiful setting and friendly host
No running water. The water stopped working a few hours into my stay. I had washing in the washer that I checked out with still dirty but also wet. Wasn't able to shower or get any water to drink or cook with. No streaming services provided as stated in the listing.
We had such a lovely stay. The breakfast was excellent, and Sue was wonderfully warm and accommodating with plenty of choices. The spa was a highlight for my son, and I absolutely loved her garden — the whole place feels incredibly relaxing, and the view is truly outstanding.
Jesteśmy bardzo zadowoleni z pobytu. Mieszkanie było ładne i czyste. Lodówka dobrze wyposażona. Ogród był przepiękny i żałujemy, że nie mieliśmy okazji dłużej się nim nacieszyć. Kotki były słodziutkie ❤️
Outstanding service
Nothing to add
Lovely relaxing stay, everything you need.
Nothing to dislike.
The property was clean, peaceful, and well maintained, making it a comfortable place to relax.
There was nothing significant to dislike, as the stay was generally pleasant and I will visit again definitely
The garden and surroundings
A truly beautiful house and gardens. Plus the comfiest beds! Had a great nights sleep. Fab breakfast. Sue and Don are lovely hosts. Would highly recommend.
Loved it all.
Perfect accommodation, well stocked and very comfortable and homely!
Peaceful country escape close to town. Loved the gardens and outdoor area. Kitchen was well stocked and had more cooking ability then shown in photos

It was such a beautiful place with gorgeous gardens and places to sit on the deck and enjoy the beautiful views. I only met Sue as Don was busy. But Sue was so helpful. She showed me around the property and showed me how the spa worked. Lots of choices for breakfast to enjoy. Thank you Sue and Don. I will be back. 10/10
Nothing I didn't like.
Amazing location for a quiet relaxing and peaceful escape. It is very pet friendly which was a huge priority for us having a dog. She loved exploring the vast gardens! The gardens at the B & B are a wonder on its own! We spent most of our time sitting and eating in the garden enjoying the amazing scenery. The accommodation was of very high standards with beautiful furnishings. And the spa was an added bonus. It's a 30 min drive to Mt Maunganui which was lovely but otherwise we we wanted to just have a quiet break so this was perfect. Sue is a wonderful and helpful host :)
Can't think of anything.
Lovely grounds.
Location is beautiful, peaceful and most beautiful gardens. Amazing hosts, gorgeous air bnb, delicious breakfast supplies appreciated and the use of spa pool was luxurious.
Sue showed me the available options in the pantry and fridge. She also provided a basket of oranges and bananas. The oranges were from a tree in their yard and are delicious!
The breakfast was excellent... a generous selection of cereals, gourmet yogurt, fruit, toast with several different toppings even some little chocolate bars. The whole place was extremely well appointed, brilliantly clean and tastefully decorated. Best of all of.... the garden is gorgeous. We would certainly like to return for a longer visit.
A better selection of teas would be nice... Earl Grey, peppermint, blood orange etc.
Clean, quiet, comfortable beds, great pantry for breakfast, my girls love it. Place is beautiful
Park like grounds, great for family and dog walks, lovely accommodation and facilities

Le magnifique grand jardin, le gîte avec la vue et le jacuzzi. Sue est tellement gentille et prête à rendre service. Le petit dejeuner était complet. Une seule nuit c'était trop court. Allez y!
Breakfast was lovely and there was a great selection.Beautiful gardens,would be nice in the summer.Sue showed us around and then left us to it.
Friendly hosts, great location, exellent facilities. This place is much better stocked and presented than a hotel in New Plymouth that brags about being the only 4 star hotel in town, but had damaged doors and walls and NO milk provided. Sue and Don's place is easily the best place ever in our 3 decades of traveling in New Zealand. Well done.
Nothing, except that we would have liked to have the time to stay for a week.
Great Tranquil location, good facilities and an awesome host. Everything we wanted.
Peaceful and private, self help breakfast options were amazing, the hot spa in the rain was a blessing
Nothing to mention
This place is definitely worth getting. We've stayed 3 times. The hosts are very accommodating and friendly. We also have dogs, so finding somewhere that's acceptable can be difficult. Awesome views and location, nice facilities, and is a fair price for what you get. Great experience, 10/10!
L’accueil était parfait, Sue est charmante et très aidante. La maison est magnifique, le jardin incroyable ! C’est un véritable éden pour les oiseaux, on est bercé par leurs chants.
Nous avons tout aimé. Si vraiment on doit dire qqchose, peut-être qu’il manque une machine à café.
Location was great for what we wanted to do. Accomodation was private feeling. Spa was heated and available. Breakfast ingredients plentiful and lots of choice

Friendly host, amazing home
Beautiful location to use as the base for a girls weekend away; lovely bush walks just 5 minutes drive away. The booking is for the bottom half of the house, owners live above. It felt very separate and we didn't see or hear the owners accept on our arrival and departure (fabulous hosts!).
Loved everything about our stay and the host was lovely
Loved the peacefulness, location and space. It was real treat for a little family getaway. Our kids really enjoyed exploring the garden and orchard, and getting into the jacuzzi was the cherry on top. Lovely hosts too.
Everything- very well put together bnb
The ants but only came once
Our 2 night stay was so enjoyable as the BnB exceeded our expectations in that the beds were comfy, electric blankets, wall heater, heat pump & TV in the main bedroom. The fridge was full of food to enjoy so everything was there for our breakfasts. Everything was just the best.
Nothing
The location was peaceful, and the size & facilities were fantastic!
N/A.
Loved the quiet surroundings, the fruit orchards, the spa pool, the perfect lookout for the sunrise from the porch and the generours breakfast spread with ample fruits and the awesome hosts.
It worked very well for us (6x adults). Sue and Don very helpful. Good parking for our 3x cars. The birdsong in the morning was beautiful. Good amenities. Beautiful garden with stunning views to the Mount. Very quite area. Friendly house cat. If your up early - stunning sunrise!
Lovely surrounds and deck with beautiful view. Comfortable beds and ample breakfast provided.
The living area was not very homely. In a converted garage, not quite finished. Needs some finishing touches. No stove top to cook anything indoors. Kitchen quite small and away from main sitting room.
Hosts were lovely, nice relaxed place to enjoy some family time. Great to be able to bring the pooch too!
We had the best time staying at the Three Gables B&B. I stayed here with my bridesmaids the night before my wedding and then with my husband the night of! The hosts Sue and Don were absolutely amazing and the loveliest people. Very grateful for how hospitable they were! Highly recommend staying at their beautiful place!
We appreciated the friendly welcome from our host. The spacious bedroom, with comfortable bed was great. The beautiful garden, spa pool and generous breakfast provisions made our stay enjoyable .We also appreciated being able to have our dog with us.
Beautifully presented B and B, with stunning views and lovely gardens and grounds surrounding the property. Only 10 minutes to town and beaches, where we were able to have a lovely dinner at a local hotel recommended by our host. Lovely stay and we would have stayed longer if our travel plans had allowed but we were on a tight timeline. Breakfast provided was all lovely and fresh as was the homegrown fruit.

Stunning views and the amazingly beautiful backyard
Leaving in one day
Lovely accomodation, surrounded by pristine gardens and a working avo farm to explore.
Fabulous ! Lovely home made yogurt & loads of choice for breakfast. Highly recommend staying here.
Nice tidy accomodation. Nice Outlook, breakfast on the deck was a great start to the morning. Host was really nice and pleasant to deal with, provided a good amount of food
Facility was nice, good for couple. With bigger group access to the lounge area was a little disjointed
Excellent place to stay for our family. The kids loved being able to use the lawn and look around the garden. Super comfortable and lots of special touches like the muesli and soaps.
Nothing
Convenient, awesome property, picture perfect garden, great host.
Beautiful peaceful location. Lovely getaway and spa
Beautiful location, great breakfast provisions, loved the outside area fire & spa
Absolutely loved everything about 3 Gables. What a delight to stay here. Beautiful gardens, spa with views, quiet & peaceful immaculate accommodation. Home-made soap & museli all the small touches, well thought out.
Nothing
Comfy bed, clean, beautiful view, yummy Breakky options, hot spa, friendly host.
Beautiful gardens and scenery. Very stylish and comfortable house, with amazing owners- very kind people. Thank you 😊
Breakfast was nice, if you are not fussy, it met our needs, it was a cold Breakfast, , you could make your own eggs, enjoyed having it outdoors which was wonderful view, The Spa was great especially after a long day that we did of travelling aound.
Maybe a reminder somewhere, (not sure if there was some information and we did not read. )To carry some insect repellent because there were few mosquitoes, which is common, but we forgot to carry some so could not enjoy the evening outdoors which was really beautiful specially the view from the deck 😀
The property is beautiful both inside and out. It was clean, had very comfy beds and very well presented. Loads of room outside for kids and dogs to play. The spa was a huge hit for us too. Sue was a lovely host and the soaps she makes (which are available at the property too) are gorgeous. Great for families and had beautiful views overlooking tamarillo orchards, avocado and plum trees. Breakfast is included - cereals, toast, eggs, yoghurt, milk and coffee. Perfect!
Nothing we didn't like. The property is about 25-30 mins to central Tauranga, which is where we spent a lot of our time. So might be worth factoring in if location is key. But for us, finding somewhere to accommodate our dog was priority and Three Gables was perfect for us.
Beautiful location, wonderful garden and views over orchards down to the sea. Wonderfully comfortable. Wish we could have stayed longer
Scenic location, comfortable with nice amenities.
