Mount Maunganui

'Olives' in Mount Maunganui was the perfect base for Mum's birthday weekend to Tauranga with the dogs.

The only thing to be aware of with this property is that although its fully fenced, our little Missy Maisy was crafty and jumped the small gate. If you have an escape artist, and one that will / could easily jump a small gate, then you'll need to find something to block it off or consider different accomodation. The property is the back property in a group of units, however you'd never know as it was really quiet.

Sue was a great host and the accomodation is really lovely. Something you won't always get with pet-friendly properties. The conservatory is the perfect place for the dogs and where they should be kept as much as possible. Dogs were not allowed on the furniture.
