The Neighborhood:
Marvellous Mount Maunganui
A favourite amongst travellers young and old……..a brilliant base for everyone with so much to do and so much to explore….. you’ll be left with wanting more.
Located in the fabulous Bay of Plenty, Mount Maunganui is famous for its endless white sand beach, year-round surf, Pilot Bay Harbour and beautiful Mauao.
At the end of the peninsula the iconic Mauao stands elegantly at 230 meters tall. Everyone has the option of taking a leisurely stroll around the flat base. The more adventurous will have fun reaching the top and be rewarded with the spectacular 360-degree views.
Downtown Mount you’ll find a laid-back strip of shops, bars & restaurants that offer all day dining most with alfresco tables…….Pick up a treat or souvenir from one of the locally owned boutiques, enjoy an ice cream or coffee, browse one of the weekly markets or soak yourself in one of the salt water hot pools or treat yourself to a papering session at one of the spas.
Pilot Bay offers sheltered year-round swimming and kayaking. Picnic on the grassy shore & watch the fishermen launch their boats and cargo ships come and go.
Head to main beach where new surfers can grab a lesson and watch the more experienced catch a wave or two. If the wind is up the kite surfers will be out in force. Or just chill and enjoy a refreshing swim.
Keen golfers have the choice of two world class courses…..Summer or Winter there’s no excuse not to get the clubs out.
For groceries you’ll find an accessible New World at Central Parade along with cafe's, bike shops and a slick city eatery.
10 minutes’ drive away is the recently upgraded Bay Fair shopping centre with 150 shops and restaurants and the new United seven screen cinema (opens December 2020). Bay Wave offers a fun day indoors in the largest pool in the Bay. Complete with wave machine, kiddies play pools and giant slide.
Whatever you love to do you will be guaranteed to make fond and lasting memories here in in the marvellous Mount!

The property was clean and welcoming.
The property was clean and welcoming. It easily accommodated my family and it was comfortable to return to after long days out and about. It's location is superb with only a short drive to the mount and right by the beach. Local facilities such as Bayfair Shopping centre and swimming pool are also nearby. There are parks for kids and great beach access. We would use this bach again, any time.

Property has nice outside space to relax with shade and sun .side access from property and you are on the sand .Air Con / heat pump for good temp control.
Bedroom windows could benefit from curtains rather than Venetian style blind,
As they let a lot of light in .
Overall a great place to stay , would definitely return .
Adequate but not good value for money at peak rates. Kitchen not fully functional. Outdoor furniture broken. WiFi not of a good enough speed for multiple devices at the same time, to watch streamed movies or do any work without buffering issues.
Had A fantastic time staying here. Lovely property, comfortable with everything we needed. Peaceful, just a short drive to the Mount. 1 minute walk to the quiet beach. Would highly recommend! Thank you
Was a really comfortable property. Appreciated the generosity around kitchen equipment and having small things like salt, pepper some spices etc these things make a difference. Comfortable beds etc. Great location right by the beach. Would happily stay again. Good experience with the property manager.
Great property, clean and just easy to be in, has everything you require. Good location and love being able to get to the beach so easily. Would love to go back in Summer!

Good location Dttiveway access would be difficult with a large rental car but there is street parking. Well equiped kitchen and Kay provided us with a large platter of fruit chocolates crackers and cheese! Comfy beds although i found the pillow to soft and low for a dodgy neck.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the sandpit. A wonderful home away from home, with all the luxuries. The beach access is brilliant, especially for those with small children, straight from beach to bath! Very much looking forward to our next visit!!

The photo's don't show how spacious this home is.
The photo's don't show how spacious this home is. I loved the open planning which meant it was easy to keep an eye on our little one. Location is perfect close to the Mount which was our main activity for the trip and the beach is just through the gate. We miss the sounds of the waves! Will definitely book again.
