This house is in a perfect location with all the best things Mount Maunganui has to offer a short walk away - we especially enjoyed the beach access which quickly led us to out early morning runs along the beach as the sun rose. Great coffee ,shops and restaurants are also a short walk away from the house. The house was the best stocked one we have ever stayed in -Karen and Tim have thought of everything you could possibly need rain or shine for a fabulous break. House was roomy and comfortable with lots of outdoor space to relax.The setting was private even though it was so close to the main beach .Our family felt very welcomed. Thank you so much Karen and Tim - we would happily recommend your beach house to anyone wanting a home away from home to enjoy everything that is wonderful in Mount Maunganui and a break at the beach.
