Clean apartment close to the beach

Our stay in Jenny’s property was amazing! We would love to go back with the children. We felt at home and had everything we needed. The mount walk, beach, park, and shops were all very close to this property so it was very easy to walk around. Having a car park was a bonus also! Cannot recommend this property enough 🙂

Perfect beach getaway walk everywhere

We had a lovely three nights here! Parked our car and walked everywhere easily. Beach, Mount, fishing, dining, shopping. Location is A+. The small kitchen had everything we needed to prepare simple meals. Owners were responsive and ran right over with fans and extra towels as soon as we asked. Clean and nice pool area. Loved using the in room laundry on our long trip.

Great little apartment with an amazing location

Situated in an amazing location (walk to shops, parks or the outstanding beaches), this apartment was perfect for what we needed. Tidy, clean and compact. There is a bit of noise from the atrium in the apartment complex when various families/people are transiting through, but generally really good. Great to have an under cover park too, as the car really doesn't need to be used with such a great location.

Australia on your doorstep!

Want to go to Australia but Covid-19 is stopping you? Head to Mount Manganui instead for a NZ beach holiday. Apartment is a great base for couples and families. Although smaller in size it has everything you need to enjoy your break away. We loved the easy access to the beach, pool and spa, being so close to the hot pools, walks, ice cream and shopping! Jenny is a host who has everything covered with great communication and detailed access instructions. Thanks for a holiday Jenny.

Holiday at the heart of the Mount.

A small but well appointed apartment. We never felt cramped. We rented this for my mother and l to have a holiday and catch up with family. This apartment has a designated under cover car park a stones throw from the lift which you can use to get groceries and luggage to the apartment. The apartment is a stone’s throw to the Mount hot pools, the beach, Bayfair shopping centre, Tauranga/Mount Maunganui airport. Jenny the host is very responsive to messages and is super helpful and friendly. I do not hesitate to recommend this apartment if you are looking for an apartment in the sun at the foot of the Mount.

The property was in a great location and it was lovely and clean. We found the room with two single beds too light, as the hallway lights stayed on all night. We felt blackout blinds were needed here. The hot tub was disappointing as it was luke warm when we tried to use it the first time, and the second day we were unable to use it due to it heating. However overall we had a positive experience and the property had everything we needed.

About the host

Hosted by jenner986

Host profile image
I was raised on a dairy farm in the Waikato, North Island, New Zealand. Every summer our family would holiday for three weeks in our old bach close to Main Ocean Beach, Mt Maunganui along with other family friends. All we kids learnt to swim in the ocean and to body surf as well as walk up and around the mountain frequently.
Now I live in Mt Maunganui making the most of the ocean waves in summer and autumn. Mt Mauao, at the end of the peninsular is a special mountain for all of us over here. With delight I often take the tracks around and up to the top of the mountain just as we always did as children.



Why they chose this property

The Abode, in the Atrium Apartments is only a 'stone throw' from our old bach in Common's Ave that our family owned for fifty years. I know this area well and love it!

What makes this property unique

I decided immediately on the Abode for its close proximity to Ocean Beach, Pilot Bay, Mt Mauao walking tracks, cafes and shops. There are relaxing views from the apartment to swimming pool, hot pool, trees and glimpses of the ocean. Level 1, has the advantage of being able to take the stairs instead of the lift if you choose.

The Abode in the Atrium Complex has great amenities, a private Swimming Pool, Hot Pool, Steam Sauna and Gym:- Rowing machine, Stationary Bike, Weight machine, Elliptical Machine toilet and shower within the gym complex. Security Cameras: operate 24 hours, for your protection. The Office is open for 8-6pm week days.
