A beautiful ground floor apartment near the center of Mount Maunganui with sea views at the front. It is essentially like two hotel units - one two bedroom, and a one bedroom connected by a door - both with their own kitchen area, table, living area and bathroom. It felt new, comfortable and spacious. As there were just two of us we mostly used the front unit but appreciated that there was the option to retreat to the back area if you wanted to seperate sleeping and living or had more people. Though it is close to the road (sea view), while you can see out, the windows are designed so others can’t really see in so still felt private. The kitchen is suitable for breakfast (microwave, toaster, kettle, small fridge-freezer) but there isn’t a stovetop or pots and pans but there are lots of great food options from food trucks to cafes to restaurants close by. We really enjoyed our stay and would return again.
