Sandy Bar - Stylish 3-Bedroom Retro-Inspired Home with Sunlit Deck, Pet-Friendly Yard, and Prime Location Steps from Mount Maunganui’s Best Cafés and Golden Beaches
Welcome to Sandy Bar, where comfort meets character just minutes from the best of Mount Maunganui. Tucked in a prime spot only a short stroll from local favourites like Eddie’s Bakery, Benny & Brew, and the skatepark – and just a seven-minute walk to the golden sands – this home is all about ease, style, and a little splash of retro charm.
Freshly renovated with a playful American diner vibe, Sandy Bar offers cool furnishings, Smeg appliances (yes, even a wine fridge), and a sun-soaked deck that’s perfect for slow mornings and relaxed afternoons. Indoors flows effortlessly to outdoors with a bar leaner and chairs, making it just as good for a quiet coffee as it is for a shared platter with friends.
Inside, you’ll find three inviting bedrooms. The super king ensuite room is a beautifully converted garage, complete with its own heat pump, TV, and sliding door to the driveway. The other two bedrooms - one with a king bed and the other with a single plus trundler - share a well-appointed bathroom. With quality bedding, excellent heating and cooling, and thoughtful touches throughout, everyone can relax in comfort.
Practical comforts are all here - great Wi-Fi, washer/dryer, off-street parking for one car (plus plenty of street parking), and a shared driveway with two other homes.
Dog lovers, you’re in luck - Sandy Bar welcomes one small dog by prior approval. There’s a dog door, a small fenced grass area, and a secure boundary to keep tails wagging.
Whether you’re here for a corporate stay, a weekend with friends, or a family getaway, Sandy Bar offers a relaxed base in an unbeatable location. Once you arrive, you’ll see why this is set to be a year-round favourite.

Great vibe, aircon in the right places, convenient location, decent value for money. All that is missing is a tap outside to wash off sand.
