Positioned between the famous Main Beach and the calm waters of Pilot Bay, this much-loved Kiwi bach is an ideal base for families, couples, and groups looking to enjoy everything Mount Maunganui has to offer.
Stepping inside, you'll be welcomed by the charm of the home's original 1960s style, creating a relaxed and authentic holiday atmosphere. The open-plan living area provides a comfortable place to gather, while the sunny conservatory is perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or curling up with a good book. Outside, the generous section offers plenty of space for family BBQs, backyard games, and long summer afternoons in the sunshine.
Sleeping up to seven guests, the home is well suited to families and small groups.

This place would be fantastic in the summer, just a little bit cold for this time of the year. We spent all our time in the kitchen area which is very sunny and a smaller area to heat at night.It brought back memories of living in Christchurch in the ‘50s, similar furniture, similar decor.The property is very well located for the amenities of the Mount.

Thanks for your review. We're glad the home’s sunny kitchen and spacious layout made for a comfortable stay, even during cooler weather. It’s lovely to hear the location worked well and that the decor brought back fond memories. We’d be happy to host you again.

Excellent stay. Retro style feel which is immaculately clean with good facilities. Warmly welcomed on arrival and very handy to all amenities and beach. Recommend.

Location doesn't get much better than this place.
Location doesn't get much better than this place. Kids playground across the road, main street beside that. Right in the middle of both main beach and harbour side and a perfect view of the Mt from the back lawn. The house itself is an awesome one ... a proper retro old style batch. Will defiantly be looking up this place every time we head back.
