About this property
Sand Castles - Mount Maunganui Holiday Home
With breathtaking ocean views, generous indoor and outdoor living spaces, and room for up to eight guests, this coastal escape is ideal for families and groups wanting to experience the very best of The Mount.
Set across two self-contained levels, the home offers flexibility and privacy while still providing plenty of space to come together. Upstairs, the light-filled open-plan living and dining area captures stunning beach views through large windows, creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Step out onto the sunny deck and enjoy your morning coffee as the sun rises over the ocean, gather for alfresco meals, or simply sit back and take in the ever-changing coastal scenery. The modern kitchen is well equipped for easy holiday dining.
Downstairs, a second open-plan living area opens onto a balcony overlooking the beach, providing another inviting space to relax after a day by the water. With separate entrances, bathrooms, and living areas on each floor, Sand Castles is well suited to extended families or groups travelling together.
Accommodation is spread across five comfortable bedrooms, including two king bedrooms, a queen bedroom, and two bedrooms featuring king single beds. Two bathrooms and complimentary WiFi provide all the essentials for a hassle-free stay.
The real highlight is the location. Simply cross the road and you're on the beach, ready for a day of swimming, surfing, fishing, or long walks along the shoreline. Local cafés, restaurants, boutique shops, and Mount Maunganui's popular attractions are all within easy reach.
Whether you're watching the waves from the deck, sharing meals with loved ones, or spending your days on the sand, Sand Castles offers a memorable beachfront getaway in one of New Zealand's favourite coastal destinations. As the deck barrier is below 1 metre high, all guests should take care in this area due to the risk of falls.
Kindly note that the garage is not available for guest use.
