This is a great condo in the heart of a really fun area of Mount Maunganui. It is literally a 2 minute walk to the beach, walking paths, or restaurants across the alley behind the condo. Parking is a premium in this area and it is pretty busy, so to be able to walk everywhere took away all of the stress of worrying where to park. There are so many fantastic restaurants within a 5 minute walk, and the beach is beautiful. The condo is spacious and clean, with comfortable beds and everything we needed. It was nice to be able to do a load of laundry as we were nearing the end of our vacation. As this is close to a main area of shopping and restaurants, we could hear some noise at night from the bars (music, etc) but it did not bother us nor did it affect our ability to sleep. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this very lovely area and would highly recommend this property!
