About this property

Retro Beach Vibes - Central Mount location

Summary:

If you’ve spent your summers staying at a Kiwi-Bach, recalling those holiday memories brings with it a big dose of Kiwi nostalgia. Come and relive those simple, care-free holidays at Retro Beach Vibes, an original 1953 cottage located in central Mt Maunganui with shops, restaurants & pubs around the corner and the beach a stone’s throw away. The fully fenced large section is a great space for a relaxing family getaway enjoying outdoor games with the kids and the family dog.



The Space:

Retro Beach Vibes offers a generous lounge with a heat pump/air conditioning unit for comfort during the hot summer or colder winter months. The TV has Freeview and with your own login you can access Netflix for movie nights or enjoy family fun with a selection of boardgames.



Whip up your holiday favourites in the original retro-kitchen which does not have a dishwasher, that's the family-bonding time. The kitchen/dining opens on to the backyard with outdoor furniture. Located in the backyard is a laundry room with a washer and dryer, an outdoor shower with hot water (perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach) and there even is a separate toilet outside– very convenient to pop in there when the need arises during outdoor play.



After a day of fun, retreat to the two bedrooms. The spacious master bedroom has a queen bed and an adjacent study room for those needing to do some work. Bedroom two sleeps three guests on 2 single beds and a king single bed. The bathroom is equipped with a shower bath, toilet and basin.



For a fun-filled family escape, Retro Beach Vibes is calling your name!
