It has been thoughtfully refurbished with the kitchen and bathrooms providing all the mod-cons in keeping with the character of the home. There are two living areas and a seating area in the kitchen/dining which opens up to a large deck and private courtyard. It also has a large front garden for kicking a ball around and off-road parking. There are three good sized bedrooms with queen size beds plus the option to sleep two extra people on beds in the upstairs lounge. The avenues location is great for easy access to Tauranga city and Mount Maunganui and is a lovely quiet neighbourhood away from the main roads. Fraser Cove shopping centre is nearby which has a large Countdown Supermarket and a range of other food and retail shops. A lovely estuary walk is also nearby which is great for dog walks. This is our home so it is furnished as such, with some of our personal things still in the cupboards and drawers and of course a bit of wear and tear, but we are sure you will be very at home and will enjoy the comforts of a lovely family home. We supply linen and towels and most kitchen condiments to make your experience here easy and hassle free. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Stereo - TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,959 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32850000/32846500/32846471/0c1d66b2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Welcome Cove tree house Welcome Bay - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-11&endDate=2026-03-12&selected=32846471&PinnedHotelID=32846471&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/40000000/39160000/39159700/39159690/acce19e0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Perfect for Tauranga Games goals Pyes Pa - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-11&endDate=2026-03-12&selected=39159690&PinnedHotelID=39159690&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) [Compare similar properties](/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-11&endDate=2026-03-12&selected=39601155&PinnedHotelID=39601155&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2&comparePropertyIds=39601155,32846471,39159690) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 2:00 PM ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Welcoming dogs only 2 total pets Restrictions apply; for more information contact the property on the number on the booking confirmation ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking allowed: in designated areas ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).

Everything was well set up and clean and tidy. So central to the places we needed to go in Tauranga/the Mount. It might be a good idea to set up a box of kids toys/books if you get little ones staying again. Ngā mihi nui ##### Estelle J. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2019 ---
