About the host
Hosted by rachly19
My partner John and I live in Wellington, where he is an architect with his own practice and I am a freelance publicist. While we love the city, we also enjoy escaping to our gorgeous cottage at The Mount, it's such a different world to our usual life - and the weather and surf is just so much better!
Why they chose this property
We have family in the Bay of Plenty and have always loved visiting the region. The weather is amazing, the beach is stunning and there's also easy access to fantastic bush walks, rivers and waterfalls.
As well as being its own destination, Tauranga/Mount Maunganui is also a great base to explore other holiday spots. It's just two to three hours drive to the Coromandel Peninsula, Lake Taupo and Auckland, and only an hour to Whakatane and Rotorua.
When we stay at the cottage, daily life becomes pretty simple, usually beginning with walk or jog along the beach, often the 4kms to the Mount itself with a walk to the top for amazing views. Then it's morning coffee and back to the beach for the afternoon.

What makes this property unique
Our cottage (or 'bach') is full of character and personal touches. Fully furnished, it's packed with many of our favourite things, all hand-picked especially for the house, including Marimekko fabrics and other colourful textiles and linen.
The cute back garden is a lovely place to relax. Fully gated, there is also a cedar shed to store bikes that are free to use.
The house is walking distance to beach, supermarket and cafes.
