About the Area
Tauranga, nestled on New Zealand’s North Island, is a vibrant coastal city brimming with natural beauty and cultural charm. Surrounded by sparkling harbors and dotted with golden beaches, it’s a paradise for sunseekers and water enthusiasts. At its heart lies the bustling waterfront, where cafés serve up world-class coffee and local seafood against a backdrop of bobbing boats.
Towering over the city is Mount Maunganui (Mauao), a sacred peak and popular hiking spot that rewards climbers with breathtaking panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. Beyond the beaches, Tauranga is rich in Māori history, offering glimpses into the region’s deep cultural roots. It’s also a hub for kiwi fruit orchards and art galleries, blending modern life with natural splendor.
A walk along its lively streets, a day spent exploring the Bay of Plenty, or an evening under its clear, starry skies leaves visitors enchanted by Tauranga’s unique charm.

How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
