Was absolutely amazing stunning views great beach for the whanau parking was a worry at first but realized it was fine and it was no longer a worry at all
The location was great, easy to walk to town and neighborhoods. Parking was a plus, even though our van was too high. Bedroom in garage was cute with it's on patio and toilet and shower. Everything was well supplied.
Excellent location and host. Property was clean and tidy upon arrival. Had a great stay Host communication was great. Amaizing views from this property
Stayed at this beachfront gem in Mt Maunganui with a group, and every single one of us was impressed. Three rooms, all excellent.The sunrise was unreal, cooking facilities were great when we felt like staying in, and when we didn’t, restaurants and cafes were just a short stroll away. Perfect spot, perfect stay, we’re already planning the next trip back.Cheers!!
Amazing stay, beautiful house in a beautiful location! Great and quick communication with the host. Prime location with great parking for three cars. The house was clean and tidy with the most amazing view to wake up to! Would definitely recommend for families or friends wanting a luxury getaway! 10 stars!!
Generally very good , but disappointed with the bedroom off the garage. There has been long term water damage to the carpet. Gave the room a very musty smell , our son couldn’t sleep there after first night . He slept on the floor in TV lounge . If a new carpet was laid in this room the property would rate 5 star in our opinion. 50 metres from ocean and 19 mins walk to main shopping and restaurant area .

Unfortunately with the extreme weather conditions including two cyclones in the last month and non-stop rain, there has been a number of issues with leaking and flooding, including our own home. The carpets were cleaned before your stay, however, we cannot keep on top of the unpredictable weather which caused some leaking in the downstairs bedroom. The guests made no mention of this issue during their stay so we could have dropped off another bed rather than their son sleep on the floor. A pretty unfair review in my opinion in lieu of what New Zealand is experiencing at the moment in loss of life and homes.
Brilliant communication with the apartment manager. Wonderful apartments and a great location , walkable to town to the beach and the Mount itself .
Highly recommended
Nicely situated with great views. Recommend upgrading wifi as unable to access internet for the entire duration, oh and a mattress topper for the fold out couch, very springy! Enjoyed our stay though.
A great location with a fabulous view. We were two families of 3 and it was perfect for us. Keep in mind if you are using the fold out couch as a bed there is no privacy as it’s not a separate room. Also the garage is technically a double but you would have great difficulty getting even two small cars in there. There is also a height restriction driving in so be aware if you have an SUV with a roof rack. It probably won’t fit as we found out.
Overall a great place and we would stay again.
Great location with stunning views.
Courtenay was really easy to communicate with and got the place ready for an early check in, which we really appreciated.

Beach getaway
The best thing about the property was it's central location. It was walking distance to Mt Maunganui & had prime views of the sea. The neighbourhood was quiet at night & the beach safe for children. There was also great shopping & restaurants nearby for adults. The Mt really does have everything! Only downfall of the property was lack of fenced outdoor area for kids to run around, and also adjoining neighbours meant we were constantly trying to get our young country kids to keep their voices down!
We loved this apartment. The living area was fabulous, making the most of the outstanding views. Super comfortable beds and a great shower, it was perfect for our family of 5.
