Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Toilet seat broken, wash basin stained and dirty, Ants all over lounge/kitchen floor, No desk area in living space, connections on wall suggested there had been one under TV. Room was spartan and basic. One small shelf for suitcase, very few surfaces to put your luggage etc on. Have stayed in the past, but not again.

Just average

Was just ok. There was long hair in the “clean fridge” and we discovered no spare toilet paper at 11.30pm when we ran out. Close to Main Street, restaurants and shopping. Good off street car park.

3 night stay in Tauranga

The owners were wonderful and were very accommodating. They provided a chair for me to use at the cricket free of charge and ensured that I had a great stay. Is a great location with shops and beach nearby, as well as the mount. Plenty of stuff to do over a couple of days there, will definitely stay again there if i come to Tauranga

The downside of a very good Mount location

Actually nothing wrong with accommodation. It was clean and roomy. Owners were both very friendly. My problem was that on both nights Friday and Saturday night I was woken around 2-3am by raucous individuals emptying out of the nearby pubs? I guess that's the downside of such a good Mount location. I'd stay again if mid week or winter.
