Hot Spot Apartment Mount Maunganui
Great location - across the road from the hot pools and right at the base of the Mount. Shopping and restaurants an easy walk. Apartment was nice and spacious with a great balcony Kitchen was well appointed. Great communication from the host Shar - very easy to gain access to the apartment

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.

Fantastic magical spot. Great location and studio was well designed and fitted out. Would thoroughly recommend it

Beachfront Gem in Mount Maunganui
Perfect place to stay! It was across the street from the beach. A footpath to the town area with many restaurants was right next door. It was clean and had everything we needed. Nice having 2 full bathrooms for 4 people! Thank you! What a lovely time we had!!!

Wharf Retreat Tauranga Unit 1
Had a lovely stay here. Beautiful house and amazing view. Matches the photos mentioned and worth the money.

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

Sunset Haven: Waterfront Retreat
Beautiful location with a fantastic view. House is close to the supermarket, cafes etc. as well as walkways/cycle path to explore the coast line. Noelene was great a great host.

226OnPoint. Boutique Accommodation.
The house was beautiful and the views out back were stunning! Sean was very communicative and willing to assist if we needed anything! Hoping to plan a trip to come back again!

Sea-side 2bed house near the City
We spent 11 nights at Nicola's cottage in Te Puna which is exactly as described. The cottage was perfect for us as we were spending time with family at Omokoroa, but overall the location on the inlet is fabulous. The area feels very safe and it's great for walking and close to cycle trails. There are great food options close by - Clarke Rd Kitchen, Te Puna Deli and the White House are faves + Alma Eatery at Omokoroa beach for wonderful Italian / pasta. We had a couple of minor issues and Nicola was very prompt at responding to these. We also appreciated the little treats :) Highly recommend this place and look forward to staying again.

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.

Harbour Drive Hide Out
Just when we thought Airbnb hosts couldn’t get any better, we spent our King’s weekend at the Harbour Drive Hide Out. Paul & Fiona are the best yet! They made their home so welcoming to us from the moment we stepped in the door, it was unforgettable. They even prepared treats and a doggie bed for our paw-baby! Thank you so much!!! We will be back next year so please have your massage chair ready!! 🥹🥰

Southdown on Anchorage
We had a great stay! The house was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Erika was a friendly and responsive host, and everything was well-prepared for my arrival. The location was peaceful and relaxing – perfect for a getaway. Would definitely recommend and happily stay again. Thanks again, Erika!

3 bedroom Beachfront Retreat
Jaydes property is perfect. Right on beach & easy access to all things Mount Maunganui offers. The home is well appointed & found it very clean & tidy. The double garage was a bonus. Was ideal stay for work. Jayde was so easy to deal with. Would certainly use again.
