It was such a lovely place to stay
Brilliant placing so close to the beach, shops close for food and groceries.
Host Jane was very warm and engaging. Kept in touch through texts to make sure everything was going well. Very comfortable and quiet apartment. Would highly recommend to anyone.

The location & layout we good & comfortable 😌
Nice homely feel in a great location.
Location is excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed the spa and swimming pool.
It took a while for the heating to be effective.
We loved our stay and our host was very warm, inviting and friendly.
Jane was very welcoming and made the check-in process incredibly easy and she showed me around the facilities, including the lovely lap pool and spa pool. The apartment is very spacious and is full of interesting and fun art. The bed is luxuriant and deliciously comfortable. The shower is powerful and a great way to start the day. The basement car park is very convenient, and you can just leave your car there, as all restaurants, bars, and the beach is walkable An evening soak in the pool, or a walk along the boardwalk, just around the corner is a blissful way to start the weekend, even though I was only there for a Monday night, I will be back for a weekend stay, ASAP!

Great location by the main beach. Very helpful staff with good communication.
Got moved to a different apartment to the one I booked which was fine except that my daughter found the sofa bed to be quite uncomfortable. The staff did their best under the circumstances.

Shower not wheelchair accessible
Host Jane was warm, welcoming and communicative. The apartment has a very comfortable king bed and in a separate room a single bed. The shower offered great pressure. The decor is eclectic and fun. Location is perfect for access to the beachfront and cafes. The pool is tepid and the spa is warm.
Oceanside resort is an older complex, this may not suit some tastes, but we've enjoyed the apartments here multiple times.
Excellent staff. Very considerate and friendly. Best prices 100 percent recommend
The entire experience was magic highly recommended
That we did not have the time to stay longer
Can’t beat the location, great apartment, host is awesome
Everything is as you see was a choice weekend stay
Sweet

The new pool was great
The property was cluttered and did not meet the standard of a serviced apartment. It appeared to have been recently vacated, with cupboards and storage areas filled with personal belongings, including under the beds. This made it difficult to use the space properly—we were unable to find basic items like a chopping board due to the clutter. Additionally, the coffee provided was stale, and there was no hand soap supplied. At $350 per night, there are reasonable expectations for cleanliness, organisation, and basic amenities, which were not met.
It was so lovely to be personally welcomed by Jane to our home away from home! Everything was absolutely lovely and the cherry on top was the location!

This booking was for the weekend immediately after the devastating Mount Maunganui land slip that saw the tragic loss of life. This property over looks the incident site/hot pools and emergency services asked for people not travel to the area. But the operators insisted that they were open as usual even though local roads were closed off. So we decided on the emergency services view of not to be in the area out of respect for those that lost their lives. I don't think a reduced fee for a future stay covers the cost of the 2 nights.
We had the host meet us on arrival, showed us around to the apartment and around the complex. Access to carpark and 2 sets of keys which is very useful. Apartment had everything and more, great location very close to the beach and restaurant's. Very kid friendly as we had 2 (ages 8 and 11). Could not fault this place at all from booking to coms to our wonderful stay, def an 11/10.
That we had to leave and drive 6.5 hours back to Wellington.

Fabulous location, spacious accommodations, very friendly host. Jane was very accommodating, even though we kept changing our arrival time as we encountered unexpected delays. The apartment was fabulous - very comfortable and homey.
Spacious and homely with a fantastic location
Jane was fabulous! The pool and spa were great and the location superb! Free parking a bonus. Close to the Hot Pools, cafes and beaches.
I noted a previous reviewer called it whimsical, and I think that is accurate! Lots of furniture and owner's knickknacks. The second bedroom is a single with no window.
Jane was so lovely to deal with! We had a little bit of an issue to start with due to not checking our emails 🤦♂️. But luckily Jane text us right after it and everything was fixed! She took us into the carpark and offered to help us with our bags. Showed us to the room and around it, and gave us advice on food places to eat and things to do! Dixie browns was amazing!! The apartment was clean, well organised and heaps of decoration, felt like home. Jane was lovely enough to give us a late checkout due to our late arrival. Will definitely be back to stay with Jane again!!
Liked the location and space.
There wasnt a lot of space in the second bedroom.
Location location :)
The hotel elevator doors!
Great location
Our host was very welcoming explained everything well. It was a great experiance and we had some good laughters. We used the whole evening finding new hidden gems in the appartment.
Someone was hiding the coffee plunger.
Great communication, location, really comfortable, cute and cosy. Great to have a parking spot and equipped kitchen. Balcony. We loved it and would come again. The pool was also a bonus.
Nothing, was perfect for us
La ubicación y la amabilidad de Jane.
Faltaban tohallas de mano, algo incómodo encontrar cosas personales en los gabinetes y casi inexistente espacio para dejar la maletas y los articulos de viaje. Incómodo por la responsabilidad ante un exceso de artículos decorativos.
Jane was lovely and welcoming. The location was great close to the beach and town. The accommodation was lovely and beachy-homely. So many cool things to look at i loved the radio and deck to sit at.
The noise from outdoors seemed louder from the room I preferred sleeping in the lounge as it was a bit more sound proofed. Cars with loud speakers woke me up b4 daylight that was annoying. I didnt get to use the laundry as they closed at 8pm and didnt open again til 8am. I was scared not to break anything as im a clutz and that ruined part of the stay otherwise it was really good
Beautiful stay
The friendliness of the person that met us along with the family atmosphere of the property. Great location as well.

Perfect location and Jane is so helpful
That we had to go home
Our host Jane went above and beyond to make our stay so awesome.
There was nothing to dislike.
핫풀이 가깝고 산과도 가까웠다
타월 침구 깨끗하지않았고 씽크대 탭이 낡아서 테이프로 감아놔서 물틀때마다 기분이 좋지않았고 지저분했다.
Awesome location with super helpful host
Location was exactly where we wanted to be.
Amazing host!!!So lovely
It was magical how easy it was to connect with the owner upon arrival. She kindly and expertly showed us exactly where to go and what to do regarding parking and access. Too easy!
It is impossible to think of anything I didn't like.
Home away from home. Clean, warm and well equipped
The weather !
