Seascape Pāpamoa
What a relaxing beachfront getaway. Completely worth it. The sound of the waves at night was so relaxing. Walkable to a couple restaurants and shops. Fantastic location, lovely host.

Hot Spot Apartment Mount Maunganui
Shar’s place was clean and well organised. Good location but a little noisy at night being on a busy street. We were generally satisfied with our stay at this apartement. But there were a couple of points that I would like to note. One of the twin beds was not very comfortable and it was better to sleep on the couch the next night. The apartement was very clean inside but the balcony was not. I think improvement on these would make this aparement a truly perfect 5 star holiday home.

Absolute Beachfront Apartment
Fantastic location, couldn’t be closer to the beach than this. Stunning sunrises, beautiful beach great for swimming. Quiet setting, walk easily to dairy and takeaways, short drive to larger shopping centre. The house has comfy beds and all the kitchen equipment you might need. Plenty of space throughout. Responsive helpful host and outstanding value for money. This place is on our favourites list, thanks Caroline!

Oceanside Bliss Absolute Beachfront Stunning Views
We had a two night stay in this BEAUTIFUL apartment. Unfortunately there was a cyclone and the weather was horrible but the apartment meant that my 3 children had plenty of space to play. The view over the beach and watching the storm was actually really cool as this apartment has an amazing panorama. Would highly highly recommend this place and we will hopefully get to come back (without cyclone next time). Thanks to our host for an awesome stay and easy check-in/out.

3-Bedroom Townhouse in Mount Maunganui
We enjoyed our stay, and would stay again. The elevator to all floors was very handy.

Pukehina Estuary Sunset Views Studio
Fantastic magical spot. Great location and studio was well designed and fitted out. Would thoroughly recommend it

Great stay all round, it was lovely and clean, private and safe. Good communication and easy checkin instructions. Thank you!

The Beach House - Simplistic Seaside Living
Beautiful space, large and very comfortable for 2 couples. Great location with the beach just at the door, stunning views. Would be happy to stay again

The Beach Haus
What a spot!! absolute beachfront, high up on the hill overlooking the beach. We booked for our wedding night, but hosts were flexible with an early check in so the bridal party could get ready. Don't book if you don't like listening to the roar of the ocean when it's windy, but if you find it soothing like us, then it's perfect! Nice stairs down to the sand, perfect for a walk, and a nice deck area. The undercover area with fire is so nice for that bad weather but wanting a cosy spot to relax. I have zero complaints, place was spotless, nicely laid out and great parking. We are local to the Pukehina area, but if we ever need to book somewhere there again, this will be first on this list! Thank you Merilyn for your amazing communication and flexibility. We really appreciate it and your cosy place.

Relaxing beach-front living.
A lovely, welcoming home, really well equipped, very comfortable. Communication was great from start to finish and every everything in the house had clear instructions which was very helpful. We will definitely stay again

Pahoia Cove Waterfront Oasis
It was a heaven. Everything was perfect. Sur was a nicest person that I ever met through air BnB. I thoroughly recommend this place if you wanna have be ever relax.

The Seafarer ~ Waterfront Mount Maunganui
We had a spectacular stay with our family. Amazing views from the lounge, a great location and a very comfortable house that had everything we needed. I did a triathlon, which was the perfect viewing spot for my family to watch. We would definitely stay again.

Southdown on Anchorage
This place is sooo good!!! The view - incredible. The host is so kind. The Hot tub/pool is very much needed after a long day. This is one of the best places we have stayed for air bnb, and we highly recommend booking here!

3 bedroom Beachfront Retreat
Beautiful slit our only regret we wish we could of stayed longer

Sea View Terrace
Great spot to relax for two nights after our wedding. The couch was so soft and comfy to watch tv and chill! The views and open lounge and kitchen on the top floor was really nice. We loved it! Thank you.
