This condo was amazing. Perfect for our time at Mt Maunganui. View was amazing. Checking in with Vicky was seamless. We enjoyed the area, the beach and just sitting on the balcony to watch the surfers and waves. Our four year old granddaughter loved the beach and the park. We loved the shopping and playing in the Bay of Plenty. Highly recommended! 5 out of 5! We will be back.

Mt Maunganui beach views

Excellent accommodation for a family of 6 with a really roomy living/dining space plus a large balcony overlooking the beach. Plenty of cafes on the ground floor of the building plus more restaurants just a stroll away. The hot pools are just across the road. Will definitely be back again when visiting my NZ family.

Stunning 3 bedroom apartment overlooking Mount Maunganui beach

We were greeted by the lovely property manager Chloe who was very welcoming, easy to connect with and kept in touch with us throughout our stay. The apartment is beautifully furnished, has a large open plan kitchen dining and living room area leading out to a spacious deck complete with outdoor dining furniture for those warm sunny days. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend and stay again. Special thanks to Chloe for making us feel welcome.

Incredible project

Wow! Trust the pictures. This 3 bedroom condo is incredible. The location and views are unmatched. I wish we had stayed longer. Clean, immaculate and well appointed. The icing on the cake was the professionalism and responsiveness of the property managers. When we checked in. I changed my mind about the bed configuration. Nicole returned to the condo and helped me remake the beds. We already want to return.

What is better - a stones throw to the beach and close to shops and restaurants. The view is amazing. Kitchen is great for snacks and small meals. Induction stovetop not my favorite, but operational. Great also to have a washer and dryer in the unit. We happened to be there during a warm spell, and there is no air conditioning. It would have been nice to have fans in the bedrooms as it got a bit warm at night. In general we loved our stay in Mt. Maunganui.
