About the host
Hosted by BA12
We’re a family of four who grew up here in the Mount and couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. Coastal living is in our blood – from morning walks on the beach, surfing and sunset swims, to lazy afternoons with the kids playing cricket on the field nearby. The Mount has given us such a rich lifestyle, full of simple adventures and moments that bring us closer together.
Hosting allows us to open up not just our home, but also the community we love so much. We want our guests to experience the same sense of ease and joy that we do every day – whether that’s grabbing a coffee at a local café, wandering down to the waves, or simply relaxing in a sunlit corner of our house.
Our hope is that when you stay here, you don’t just feel like you’re visiting – you feel like you’re part of the Mount’s rhythm. We want you to leave with the same connection to this place that keeps us here, year after year.

We chose the Mount because it’s the perfect place to raise a family – full of adventures, from beach days to open fields and everything in between. It’s a place where you can relax, unwind, and enjoy a truly kid-friendly environment. Our home is a quiet, welcoming space, and we know you’ll love it just as much as we do..
What makes this property unique
What makes our home unique is its character and charm – it’s not just a holiday house, it’s a place that feels lived-in, loved, and instantly welcoming. With beautiful light wooden floors and a relaxed contemporary style, it has an old-world warmth mixed with a coastal vibe that’s perfect for unwinding after a day in the sun.
You’ll love how close we are to the beach – just a short stroll for sandy adventures – while still being centrally located for shopping, cafes, and all that Mount Maunganui has to offer. Families especially appreciate the nearby school field where kids can run free, play cricket, or kick a ball around, giving parents a chance to truly relax.
Our home is designed for peace and comfort – filled with natural light, cozy corners, and the little quirks that make it unique. It’s a place where you can slow down, recharge, and enjoy time together, whether that’s cooking in the galley kitchen, watching the kids play, or simply soaking up the Mount’s easy-going lifestyle.
This is more than just a stay – it’s a family-friendly sanctuary where you’ll instantly feel at home.
