Waterfront Paradise - Hot Pools Nearby

WendyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
It would be impossible to be disappointed in this property. It is absolutely waterfront with the most beautiful view. Cross the lawn and you are paddling in the water or going out on the kayaks that were provided. The home is well appointed and well equipped. There was even a treasure trove of toys. Very clean with comfortable beds. Thank you - we loved our stay

Mountain View Retreat

AnnaRating, 5 stars5 days ago
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 5/5 If you’re looking for a peaceful, off-the-grid experience, Urs’s place is for you! We had the most wonderful stay, surrounded by beautiful pine and fern-covered mountains. While it is wifi-free, there is still mobile coverage, and Urs has done a wonderful job with the place, with separate cabins for the kitchen (with an optional sofa bed), one for the bedroom/lounge, and one for the bathroom. There is hot running water, electricity and plenty of electrical sockets. We really enjoyed using the fireplace on a cold, rainy day, and the outdoor BBQ to cook our food on the dry days. Urs is a stellar host, who went above and beyond to make our stay as wonderful as it was, offering great suggestions for local hikes and activities, and was almost always on hand if we needed anything. My only suggestion is if you are sensitive to light, bring an eye mask as it gets quite light in the morning. Would give 6/5 if I could!

McKenzieRating, 5 stars6 days ago
My great failure was not booking more time to just ~be~ at this cabin. Get there before dark if possible; signage is a little sparse on the several gravel road forks. Super friendly host and amenities as described. 11/10!

Mt Maunganui - white rabbit cottage

AnnaRating, 5 stars10 months ago
We spent a wonderful Easter weekend at the cottage, and loved being so close to the beach, shops, restaurants and the Mount. Waking up in the morning and walking across the road and straight onto the beach- it was great value for money.

Comfort by the Beach

MichaelRating, 5 stars6 days ago
The house is in excellent condition and well looked after. If I really have to say something about the place, probably be that the table tennis rackets could use a change. Overall the family loved the place and we enjoyed the time we had. Many thanks to the host!

We stayed at Angelas place and had a great time. Not much time was spent in the house as it was fabulous weather at the Mt and lots on. We enjoyed a lovely stroll on the beach. We loved the little outdoor courtyard.

Summer at Mt Maunganui Beach!

AndreaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Leanne’s place was so perfect for our family holiday. We staying during the busy new year period but the location is perfect it’s close to omanu surf club which isn’t as busy as the main part of the mount which we loved. The place itself is lovely and Leanne was so great - she left us a load of kombucha which our kids loved! It’s really close to the mount and Bayfair shops and there are a few coffee places around the omanu surf club - including a new cafe surf road. This place was perfect for our family of 4.
