Myself and a few girlfriends spent 3 nights at Julie’s Airbnb just out of Mount Maunganui. Perfect place to stay if you are looking for somewhere close to the Mount but away from the busy town centre - About a 15 minute drive to the Mount. Perfect place to stay if you have anything to do in Tauranga also. We felt at right home, especially on the really comfortable couch. Julie was so so so helpful and so lovely and accommodating.
