We place high value on cleanliness and a beautiful feel-good ambience. Being on vacation is a very special time, it is very important for us that our guests feel comfortable. Our motto for life is: " Turn to the sun, and the shade will fall behind you."

Welcome Bay is a central suburb only a 12 to 15 -minute drive from Tauranga's CBD. To the beaches at Mt Maunganui or Papamoa it takes about 15 to 20 minutes without having to go through town. Parrot Nest is in Orakei Place, a short cul-de-sac in a quiet, upmarket neighbourhood up the hill. If you need something specific for breakfast beyond the basics provided (for the first morning only), there is a small shopping centre down the road with a Four Square. For bigger grocery shopping you will need to drive to one of the supermarkets in town or at the nearby Tauranga Crossing shopping centre. Whether you travel for business or leisure, you may want to go for an evening walk in the area. There is Tye Park, from where you have a view across the estuary to the city. Or you can take a loop walk through Johnson Reserve, enjoy the small waterfall at the end or one of the board walks through the wet land. There are also hot pools if you fancy a soak. Please ask us for tips and information material about points of interest in Tauranga or day trips to other destinations.
