Bobs Bach - Mt Maunganui Bach

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. Bedroom one features a queen bed and an additional single bed, while bedrooms two and three each offer two single beds. A family bathroom, along with a second separate toilet, ensures convenience throughout your stay.

Location is a true highlight of Bob's Bach. A short two-minute walk brings you to Pilot Bay, where calm waters are perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, and watching cruise ships come and go. Head in the other direction and you'll find yourself on the golden sands of Main Beach, renowned for its surf and stunning coastal scenery. The Mount's vibrant cafés, restaurants, boutique shops, hot pools, and walking tracks are all within easy walking distance.

For a relaxed and memorable beach getaway, Bob's Bach welcomes you to experience Mount Maunganui the traditional Kiwi way.
The cottage features a kitchen and space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and an ironing board.

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.

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.
