Host was very welcoming. The home was beautiful, neat and clean with everything you need. It was a great location with short walk to beach and restaurants. Wish we had more time to spend there.

Thank you! It was a pleasure hosting you. We would certainly welcome back great guests such as yourselves anytime. Happy Travels!
Fantastic clean apartment, fast and friendly communication from the owner! Great amenities, and felt homely. The location was amazing, couldn't ask for better. Kids absolutely loved having their own bedroom and bathroom downstairs. We just grabbed what we needed for the beach and if we forgot anything it was so close that it didn't matter to go back. Shops were also a stones throw away. Our stay was exceptional and we would definitely stay there again. Thank you Sarah!

About the host
Hosted by Sarah Carr
Hi I'm Sarah and I originally come from the beautiful island of Jersey, Channel Islands.
I have lived in NZ for almost 35 years and love it here too. Currently based in Auckland we love to visit the Mount as there is something special here.
I love being a host and offering our lovely second home to others to enjoy the vibrancy and magnetism of this beautiful place.
Why they chose this property
We enjoy the Mount for so many things. Of course, our beautiful and spiritual Mauao but the buzz and holiday feel that our little town centre exudes.
It's a place the always makes us feel relaxed and happy and of course there's no denying the pull of the beautiful sands of both Maunganui beach with its rolling surf, or for those who like the sea a little calmer, there is always the family friendly ripples on the shores of Pilot Bay!
What makes this property unique
Our property is unique because not only is it right in the heart of the buzz and just steps away from the beach and town but it is also very quiet and very private, particularly our secluded and shady courtyard.
Our place is light, bright and airy with lots of great outdoor space and the added bonus of parking for 3 cars is a real find with parking a premium in the Mount!
