Te Papa View - 3 bed waterfront apartment + park

NicoleRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Hi Giles, we had a terrific time. I was in a rush to get to airport and meant to advise the waste master blocked on me although only coleslaw and salad left overs were put down it... Tried everything and in the finish put some draino down hoping that it would just clear with a bit of time. Really enjoyable stay thank you for having us regards Nicole

Limitless Peaceful Water Views-Authentic Retreat

NeilRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Mark’s AirBnB is an experience rather than a stay. Is a combination of coastal rural Nz right on the doorstep (short boat ride away) from a bustling town Raglan where there are 5 star restaurants, super markets and everything you would need or expect. And the accomodation itself is nestled on a cliff top with 180 views of the harbour and if Raglan. Private, the feeling of seclusion and neighbour free - the best of both worlds made better by a host that balances your needs with respectful distance. Make a pizza in the wood fired oven and then warm your bones in the spa boat and arching the harbour u til the sun melts away listening to birds evening song. We can’t wait to head back and hopefully catch the big uncle of the 12 lb snapper we caught in the raglan harbour!!! Outstanding place.

There a as also a swimming pool, spa and a carpark available. A quick walk to lovely cafes, and the Viaduct and downtown CBD. Just a perfect location!

5 Star Beachfront Living.

SantanaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We loved staying here! We were able to communicate with the hosts with ease. The Airbnb is within walking distance of restaurants, grocery stores and everything in between. Irene is really accomodating and had come down to check on us to see if we needed anything which was nice. The facilities were great. Personally, the pictures don’t do the property justice! We were pleasantly surprised at how spacious and homely it was. Most definitely would stay here again if I’m in the area next time😊

Roomy waterfront city apartment

ShilohRating, 5 stars5 days ago
What a gorgeous place to stay in, I was there during some stormy weather and the harbour view was incredible. Everything is in a walkable distance, and the kitchen has all the basics covered if you wanted to stay in and cook (and enjoy the space and view instead). Everything was tidy, spacious, and thoughtfully presented. James was wonderful and very responsive to communicate with. Next time I'm in Tauranga I would love to stay again!
