About this property
The Baywatcher - Charming 3-Bedroom Hilltop Bach with Stunning Bay & Mount Views, Spacious Family Layout, Large Backyard, Off-Street Parking, and Just a 5-Minute Walk to Mount Maunganui Beach and Local Amenities
The Baywatcher is a charming 3-bedroom bach perched on the hilltop of Orkney Road, boasting stunning views over the bay, the Mount, Harbour Hills, and a cheeky glimpse of the ocean. Sleeping up to 8 guests, it’s perfect for families or groups looking for a relaxed, comfortable spot to unwind and enjoy the best of the Bay.
Inside, you’ll find a fresh, modern kitchen (hello coffee machine!) ready for everything from a quick breakfast to a full family feast. The living spaces are cosy and comfy, with two heat pumps to keep things just right upstairs and down.
There are three bedrooms set up perfectly for families or groups: two bedrooms upstairs with a bathroom, plus two separate toilets, and a large downstairs bedroom with a queen and two single beds, plus a separate bathroom with a bathtub - great if you’re travelling with grandparents or two families.
The big backyard is a dream for kids to run around and play, and the small deck is ideal for firing up the BBQ and soaking in those awesome views. You’ll also have off-street parking for two cars, plus a washing machine and dryer to make life easy.
Location-wise, you’re just a stone’s throw from great playgrounds, the New World supermarket, Mount Skate Park, Bay Oval, and only a 5-minute walk to the beach and boardwalk. Being right opposite Mount Maunganui Primary School means you might catch the sound of kids playing mixed with the waves rolling in - a genuine slice of Kiwi coastal life.
The Baywatcher is an older-style bach full of character and heart - comfy, welcoming, and made for making memories. We think you’ll love it.
The property is stocked with eco-friendly, New Zealand-made body care products, including body wash, shampoo, and conditioner.
