Tips from locals
Climb to the top of Mauao to get a beautiful view of the surrounding beach or for the less fit, walk around Mauao. Then enjoy an afternoon of swimming/ surfing followed by a soak in the Mount Maunganui hot pools. Great restaurants and tourist shops. Only 25 minutes to drive to this beautiful spot from our unit.
A must see if you haven’t been to Tauranga before. Climb the mount, have a Copenhagen ice cream cone, enjoy a hot pool, stay for dinner. So much fun to be had.
This is a 30-40 minute walk (it's steep in places with stairs) but the 360 view is so worth the effort, go at sunrise it is truly unique!! You can go straight up or vary the journey there’s lots of paths going in all directions around and down 😊. If you don't have that much energy then take the path around the Mount base in either direction, if you are lucky there might be some seals playing on the channel side, it’s a beautiful walk anytime of the day, very popular stroll or run!

Just a short 15 minute drive to the world renowned Mount Maunganui (Mauao) for stunning walks, scenery and beaches. Provides a family friendly place to play and relax on the “Pilot Bay” side or surf and enjoy the cafes and beach front on the “Mount Main Beach” side. Catch an amazing sunrise or sunset!
