OUR HAPPY GUESTS

“Had an awesome overnighter at Studio48. Definately felt like a home away from home. Had all the added extra's which we made full use of. Hubby got up at 4am to watch the Rugby on Sky and we both enjoyed an early morning dip in the pool. Thank you for having us."

“Thank-you Larissa for providing such a lovely studio! Even for one night it was a blessing to come home after a huge day of walking and sight-seeing to our own little abode, decked out in beautiful decor and pictures. Thank-you again."

Jemell/ Feb 2018/Studio48

“This place is without a doubt one of the most wonderfully decorated and comfortable studio apartments you will stay in. Easy access and parking, beautiful bedroom and bathroom and a few essentials should you wish to use them. A well compiled book of local activities and restaurants is available and this is also a fantastic spot to do some work if you are on a business trip. I felt right at home and will definitely look to stay here again when I am back in the region. Many thanks to host Larissa who was always available with any queries and made check in/out a complete breeze."

“Is anybody in New Zealand unfriendly? Certainly not here, and certainly not the wonderful Larrisa! Her place was awesome!!! Convenient, immaculate, quiet, great extra amenities. We mean really?? She even provided TOOTHPASTE???!!! We have stayed at many, many Airbnbs, and this one has got to be in the top three. Her husband actually printed us up (IN COLOR!!!) a great place to hike. We wish they were our neighbors in Ohio. Oh yeah, her daughter has some beautiful artwork...BUY SOME! It's not too expensive, and the young lady is talented (and wonderful)...."

The pool was exactly what we needed during our stay. It was nice and clean and the gardens were very well presented. Beautiful home with beautiful decor. Can't wait for another visit."

Richard/ Sep 2017/Airbnb Feedback

“Why would anyone want to stay in a motel room, when you could stay in a 'Home away from Home' Studio48. An absolute pleasure to stay - so much thought has gone into making guests feel welcome. It is the little touches that make Studio48 stand out from the crowd - and what makes everyone keep going back. Can't wait to stay again. Larissa was lovely and definately the 'Host with the Mostest' - very accommodating and professional."

Everything there: enough dishes, cutlery, glasses, pots etc. Excellent Internet connection, Sky TV and very friendly hosts. Traffic noise from highway only in the morning hours, but not too disturbing. Recommend to book this accommodation."

“Excellent accommodation - perfect for my son and I. The property is well equipped with everything you need for your home away from home. My son loved the lego and games, and I loved the decor and the fact that I didn't need to worry about anything as it was all there for us. We didn't use the pool this time as we didn't have time - but it looked amazing. Location is perfect - close to shops and easy drive to everywhere. We will definitely be back again in future. Larissa was very friendly and made everything very easy for us - thanks!! "

They made a bbq available for us on request, great neighbourhood, just a bit noisy from nearby traffic, but nothing serious. Easy travel to all points in the area. Larissa is a gem, both her and her husband were super hospitable! "

Angela/ Nov 2016/Airbnb Feedback

“We loved the fact we were left to our own privacy. The hosts were non invasive which can be totally off putting but certainly not the case here. The unit was modern and exceptionally well equipped with many additional extras you would otherwise have to take or purchase yourself. The bed was lovely and comfortable and a general good feeling in the studio. We would definitely return. We thought the price was outstanding for the space and utilities provided. Anybody would be happy to stay there and feel very much at home. Thank you very much."

“The pictures do not begin to show how wonderful this place is. It is obvious that Larissa has paid a lot of attention to even the small details, such as the wide assortment of breakfast cereals, the full size shampoo and conditioner, toothpaste, etc - all very unexpected and appreciated. Everything was of a high quality. My only regrets - the awful Tauranga weather and that we were not staying longer! We will happily return, preferably in the summer to enjoy the pool! "
