Summer at Mt Maunganui Beach!

AndreaRating, 5 stars5 months ago

Leanne’s place was so perfect for our family holiday. We staying during the busy new year period but the location is perfect it’s close to omanu surf club which isn’t as busy as the main part of the mount which we loved. The place itself is lovely and Leanne was so great - she left us a load of kombucha which our kids loved! It’s really close to the mount and Bayfair shops and there are a few coffee places around the omanu surf club - including a new cafe surf road. This place was perfect for our family of 4.

A mineral salt-water swimming pool is surrounded by lush greenery and sun loungers. A colorful pool float rests on the water's surface. In the background, a spacious house features large outdoor umbrellas providing shaded seating areas, with clear blue skies overhead.
