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.

This is a beautiful home away from home. The amount of joy and relaxation I felt here was next level. We enjoyed the fire pit a lot!!! Walking down to the water was also enjoyable. A cute little winter getaway.

Matariki getaway

Had a lovely stay here, beautiful to see the stars on a clear night. Lovely gardens. Thank goodness for the heat pump, the air was crisp! Limited cooking facilities - microwave, electric fry pan, toaster and kettle so we didn't eat there much. Cosy furnishings, country cottage. We had a relaxing time. Gorgeous gardens, and close to the cycleway. Wish we'd had time to bring our bikes!

Brilliant Spot

Spent 3 lovely days here and the area is beautiful. Aaron (the host) is a great guy. Leaves you alone but is happy to help with local info etc if you need it. Cottage was immaculate and bed super comfy. Would 100% recommend the Estuary Escape for exactly that… a great escape. 5 out of 5.
