Delighted with our third stay at Carol's place in Maketu, this time for 4 weeks. Among the many features we love:- immaculately clean and well-furnished- lovely view, spending lots of time sitting on the deck reading, etc.-thanks for use of various condiments and thanks for offering the produce from the garden.- easy driving distance to our three favourite destinations: Mt Maunganui, Rotorua, and Whakatane.- nice quiet neighbourhood, friendly neighbours.Would love to come again!

This is a smaller home in a very quiet neighborhood. Kitchen is very well equipped, furniture is comfortable, ocean view is awesome

Loved the views, the quiet neighborhood, the privacy, the comfortable furniture and the option between shade blinds and total privacy. House is lovely- seems recently remodeled and is in great condition. Gorgeous sunsets, great sleep and the back deck with plexiglass over the lower handrail means unobstructed views but less wind to interfere with your card game. You will love this home. We hope to return next year!

A lovely well set up Bach in a beautiful location. Amazing views from the Bach and an ideal spot to watch the sunset. Hope to come back again.
