A 5 min drive to either the main Mt Maunganui shops with plenty of cafes or Bayfair Shopping Centre.

Great little bach, wonderful location. Felt like it was a tad overpriced as you paid for the cleaning in cash over the top of the whole payment to stay, if it over looked the beach i could understand. We had a wonderful time while there all the same, thank you

Great Bach!!! A beautiful summer vacatio home! Quiet area. Can hear the surf and within 75 metres you are on amazing beach!!! Bring a chair and watch the surf! Swimming area at Omanu Beach had lifeguards on duty!. Short walk to nearest convenience store. Nice, easy drive to central Mount Maunganui for shopping and restaurants! Overall a great experience!

Amazing beach house stay :)

We had an amazing stay in this beach house, everything was just perfect for us. Plenty of space for the two of us, a room each, equipped with everything we needed and an excellent base for our cricket stay. Within nice walking distance of the bay oval and a bit further into town centre. The access to the beach is wonderful, haven't walked to the cricket along the beach before! Carolyn let us know everything we needed to know and quick and helpful when we had questions. Can't recommend this cool place enough :)

Basically perfect!

Ideal spot for the summer break! Everything we wanted, especially having the beach a stone's throw away. The area was quiet and relaxed (just far enough away from the Mount to avoid the chaos, but close enough to feel apart of the action) and the place itself has that warm, lived-in feel of your classic Kiwi bach. Stocked with everything you'd need, from kitchen utensils to board games. Was sad to leave - hope to return someday soon!

A lovely spot for family time

My husband and I and our two young daughters very much enjoyed this perfectly sized little cottage by the sea. Close enough to the Mt to easily enjoy everything it has to offer, but far enough from it that this spot was very quiet and peaceful. The cottage is back away from the road so very rarely any noise there, and just a quick walk down a sandy path right to the water (and even just opening the porch doors let’s the sound of the ocean right in!). The pantry was well stocked, the fridge was huge, the heat pump did excellent work keeping us cool and comfortable at night, and the washer and dryer were very convenient. Owner was super responsive to any questions and was very accomodating. Would highly recommend! And we certainly look forward to staying again!
