“A wonderful stay at Milly's apartment. The location is perfect, the apartment is beautifully decorated with a French theme. Milly is lovely and communicated very well which makes swapping very easy to do. I highly recommend Milly's apartment to anyone wanting a nice break with easy access to Tauranga.”

“We had a really fantastic time at Milly's place! Everything we needed was in the house and it is right next door to the communal swimming pool (as per photo). We bought our electric bikes with us, as Papamoa has brilliant bikeways. Milly is easy to communicate with, so was never a problem getting any information we needed from her. Her place is directly across the road from the walkways to the beach and there is a supermarket and great restaurants walking distance from the house. We had a fabulous holiday and would easily come back for another experience. Cheers Kristina & Simon”
“Wonderful trip had by all. We’ve stayed at Milly’s previous apartment and her new bungalow was great too. Fast easy communication from Milly and we enjoyed meeting her in person this time. We loved the swimming pool right next door to the bungalow. It’s solar panel boosted heated and was nice and warm and clean. Milly’s bungalow has has a lovely outdoor covered deck with very comfy outdoor furniture, and inside it’s smart, warm and has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The beds and shower and big screen T.V are fab, and it’s quiet and peaceful. The location was brilliant, 5 minutes (possibly less!) walk to Papamoa beach and 2 minutes walk to the supermarket, pub and Pearl cafe which does really good pizzas( even gluten free ones), An easy 10 minute drive to Mount Maunganui where we really enjoyed the beach and the walk around the mount. Thank you Milly for another great stay, Melissa, Seb and Neave.”
“If I was a cat I'd describe this swap as purrrr-fect. The apartment is ideal for a couple although it does have a small second bedroom. But everything about the place is neat, tidy and stylish. A huge picture window gives a great outlook onto the streets of this vibrant sea-side town, with everything very close by. The beach itself is amazing and there are different walks and places to see. It is on the fringe of a mountain which also provides great walking opportunities, and right across the road is a heated salt pool. Location wise it is great. Milly met us on arrival and made us most welcome, and we met up with her at a local jazz night which was fun. We loved visiting NZ and will surely return, with Milly's apartment being one of the first places we will be hoping to visit again.”
“Fantastic apartment in ideal spot to enjoy Mount Maunganui, very comfortable bed, so close to the beach and the shops. Would love to stay again. Thanks Milly !”
“I wish to say a very big thank you to Milly. My daughter Tamara & her boyfriend absolutely loved your place - they say it was clean comfortable - charming and above all the location was fabulous.. They claimed the mountain and walked on the beach and though it was a little far to the wedding they attended it was just perfect. I hope to visit myself one day. Thank you again regards Lise ”
“This was a good swap with Milly”
“This was the first experience of Love Home Swap in our home and it all worked out well. Milly and her friends looked after our home beautifully and when there was a plumbing issue, she alerted us quickly to get it fixed. It took longer than we had thought to finalise and confirm the booking, but we would happily host Milly and her friends again. Thanks for your thoughtfulness, Milly, in the wee touches you left for us when you moved on.”
“Milly was a great guest and I would have no hesitation in recommending Milly to other hosts. ”
