About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Estuary Edge - A Slice of Paradise

Estuary Edge is a studio apartment overlooking the Plummer's Point estuary.

The studio is located on a sunny orchard property, surrounded by bush and fruit trees.

There are many awesome places to explore in the area - Plummer's Point peninsular and wharf, the fountain gardens, horse treks, and various fishing spots are all close by.

There is access to the estuary directly from the front of the studio. Enjoy a morning dip or wander.

Escape the crowds and enjoy a stay in paradise!

Mt Maunganui, downtown Tauranga, Omokoroa and Waihi are all within easy reach from this location.

Please note:
- A train bridge crosses the estuary nearby, so you may hear the odd train passing, but we find this isn't disruptive and can be fun to watch!
- The studio is mainly available only for weekend/extended weekend stays (e.g. Fri-Mon). However, feel free to make an enquiry if you have other requirements as we are happy to discuss.
- The owners live on the property, but you have privacy for your stay.
Thanks!

Extras: Linen (included); Wifi (included)

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Leave the place clean/tidy and do the dishes before you leave.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned apartment, featuring a kitchenette with a refrigerator and a microwave. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. Conveniences include a desk and an electric kettle.
Take in the views from a garden.
Guests will find features like wireless internet access and onsite parking.

A gem by the water
We had a wonderfully relaxing day. This location among the trees and above the water was everything that the Bay of Plenty is all about. Peace and quiet (even enjoyed the occasional train trundling past across the way). A treat!!

Peaceful getaway.
Lovely setting and grounds. Nice quiet and peaceful. Went for an early morning walk down the bush path to the waters edge. Was high tide and a beautiful spot. Room was tidy and spacious. Will be going back again with our ebikes for another weekend at some stage.

Enjoyable Estuary Retreat
This property boasts beautiful vistas over the estuary, as the name implies, and situated within a well established citrus and avocado orchard. Everything was clean, tidy and comfortable. The small TV is only of concern if that's one of the things you want to use while there (we did have to nick off to Te Puna Sports Bar to watch the All Black vs Australia Bledisloe rugby match). Clear starry night and soft lawn to gaze from, along with a fire pit if you want to use it, were bonus additions to our stay. Our hosts were prompt, honest and kind in all pre-stay correspondence, then when meeting them, and also with post-stay correspondence. Definitely worth staying and enjoying if this is your trip of stay.

Beautiful touch of nature
Such a cute Bach we loved our stay. Was warm, quiet, clean really comfy and had everything we needed for a quiet get away from our busy stressful lives (without the kids 👌) would def stay again! Only feedback is it was guite musty when we arrived which triggered my allergies, but we aired out the place the next morning and the following night was perfect 😊 Thanks for having us!

Such peaceful surroundings, with gorgeous splashes of orange in the trees (in citrus season) and many huge avocado trees. Although the piano would appreciate having a tune-up, I was glad to have it available.
