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
The unit was as per the photos, had everything we required for a lovely break away from home especially the coffee machine. Although in a busy area it was not overly noisy, very handy to both beaches, cafes and the Hot Pools. Great to have off street parking in a secure area. Would highly recommend.

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!

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

Little Peace of Heaven
This was my second stay and Suzet & Fred's place, and probably not the last :) It is such a peaceful spot and has all the amenities you need. I was able to stay and work from home for one of the days I was there and it was so handy using their spare screen to connect to my laptop, it was a perfect working space. Suzet & Fred are an absolute delight, it makes you feel like you are staying with family. Would definitely recommend!

Premium Penthouse by the Beach
Kelsey was an excellent host—responsive and provided clear instructions, making check-in seamless. The penthouse was stunning, exceptionally clean, and felt just like home, with comfortable beds that made for a restful stay. The location couldn’t have been better for us to catch up with family — also just a short walk across the road to the beach. Highly recommend!

Mordern 5 bedroom home, metres from the beach
Such an amazing property. Beautifully furnished and great location. Perfect for kids thanks to the trampoline, spa and space. Gym/garage is an extra perk. Want to stay again

Waterfront Retreat! kick off your shoes and relax
Such a beautiful spot to stay. We loved having access to the kayaks for high tide. The morning sunrises were amazing. The house itself was spacious with lots of different spaces to be in and a well stocked kitchen.

Private 2 bdrm home near bay & scenic attractions
WOW, Julie the host was incredible :):). From the get-go she was super responsive, friendly and so patient while we worked through the details of our long stay. She went the extra mile with regular check-ins, cleaner arranged and was very supportive to our colleagues needs. Would highly recommend Julie. Oh! and the property is exactly as described, neat and tidy and homely.

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
The location is perfect for watching the activity on the water. It's a very short stroll to the shops, bars and restaurants. You also have the afternoon and evening sun. Everything inside that we needed and plenty room for us to spread out. Great communication from Beyonder too. So all round we were very happy with our stay.

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
We loved our stay. Great for families and small group. The location was perfect. Walked right to the beach, close to shops and restaurants. Jayde was an amazing host. Great communication, friendly and responsive. Highly recommend and we'd stay again.
