Had a great stay, our family had the 2bedroom suite which was really comfortable. Relaxed in our own spa and enjoyed the outside pool and mini golf. This place will be now our go to place while in tauranga. No restaurant avaliable which was disappointing.

We liked everything about it. The bed was very comfortable. We used the spa. The wifi signal was strong. Excellent TV reception. Easy-to-reach location.
