About the host

Hosted by jenner986

Host profile image
I was raised on a dairy farm in the Waikato, North Island, New Zealand. Every summer our family would holiday for three weeks in our old bach close to Main Ocean Beach, Mt Maunganui along with other family friends. All we kids learnt to swim in the ocean and to body surf as well as walk up and around the mountain frequently.
Now I live in Mt Maunganui making the most of the ocean waves in summer and autumn. Mt Mauao, at the end of the peninsular is a special mountain for all of us over here. With delight I often take the tracks around and up to the top of the mountain just as we always did as children.



Why they chose this property

The Abode, in the Atrium Apartments is only a 'stone throw' from our old bach in Common's Ave that our family owned for fifty years. I know this area well and love it!

What makes this property unique

I decided immediately on the Abode for its close proximity to Ocean Beach, Pilot Bay, Mt Mauao walking tracks, cafes and shops. There are relaxing views from the apartment to swimming pool, hot pool, trees and glimpses of the ocean. Level 1, has the advantage of being able to take the stairs instead of the lift if you choose.

The Abode in the Atrium Complex has great amenities, a private Swimming Pool, Hot Pool, Steam Sauna and Gym:- Rowing machine, Stationary Bike, Weight machine, Elliptical Machine toilet and shower within the gym complex. Security Cameras: operate 24 hours, for your protection. The Office is open for 8-6pm week days.
