Beach, birds, and peace
You are located away from the hustle and bustle, yet a short drive to Kaiteriteri Central. Do have an umbrella handy for a short dash to the loo. A very generous room is a mere 50 metres to Tapu Bay and is surrounded by bush and birds. Paul is a great host.

Right on the beach
Lovely spot. It's super close to the ever-changing Tapu Beach. The low tide walks are amazing. House expansive and comfortable. The spa is superb and in a quiet and sunny spot surrounded by trees. Great place to bring your kayaks or SUP as can walk them from the house. Need to time with the tide. Great mountain biking within 100 meters. Very close to Kaiteriteri (20 minute walk on beautiful coastal pathway) and yet away from the crowds. Owner very responsive and contact was frequent during stay - he is very keen to make sure all goes well and property well looked after. Cleanliness probably not to owner standard as he was away at time of check in and takeover of the property.

Clean and well appointed apartment with views to the bay and hills beyond . Paul was a very helpful host giving us good advice on local restaurants and trips etc. Just note that the well fitted out alfresco bathroom is under the apartment. We enjoyed our stay.

The Palms review
1. Lack of privacy. The room is an area off a lounge that is separated by a door. Every sound made is heard by all. 2. Inadequate facilities. One toaster provided(on request) and a hot water jug that has to be filled with a bottle with water sourced from an outside tap. No sink or running water in room. Bathroom is outside. And is ‘al fresco’! With minimum privacy. 3. We had to supply our own toilet paper after the ‘complimentary’ half was finished. We had to ask for our towels and sheets to be laundered. Overall impression was that the room was run on a scant budget.....dodgy light switches, difficult blinds to operate for privacy, No lights in half the room. Uncomfortable bench seat to sit on, resembling a church pew. We cut our 11 night stay to 9 and donated the balance of the money to the owner!

Disappointing
From the start I was not happy about the bond process. Two days before arrival I received a msg asking us to phone the manager advising of our arrival time to meet him to get the keys and pay bond in cash. The phone number given was incorrect! The owner was also uncontactable. And how are we supposed to know when we will arrive when we are on the road. Luckily the manager was waiting for us when we arrived. The apartment has very limited sea views (not important but misleading) and there was no WiFi which was advertised. Overall the description of the property was ambitious. At least the manager was prompt for the check out and return of our bond. Not a pleasurable experience overall. Also no restaurants were open in Kaiteriteri at night in May.

Rules and no warm welcome. Be nice or go home was the landlords message.
Many rules and controls. When we arrived Paul talked 30 minutes about rules like not walk on his new wooden floor. Wi-Fi not available between 10pm and 7am. Risk otherwise for braintumors. For us with a time difference of 12 hours very hard to connect with old parents in Sweden and our kids. More over when I cocked lambhamburgers in the kitchen I was told to do this outside. We did not use any other spices than salt and pfeffer. Then the stove was removed outside. Luckily no rain during our 7days at thishouse. If breaking rules you were going to be charged. Paul mentioned this several times. We are a quiet tidy couple but were treated as we were inresponsible children. Blankets and towels you were charged extra for was not changed during one week. Plates and glasses were a mismatch. No table in the room to eat. Outside an old café table that was very unstable. The positive was the beautiful nature.
