Vacation rentals with beach access in Whakamārama

Alec and Anna were exceptionally gracious hosts and provided much insight to the area and things to do. They treated me like family. My experience was amazing in every way.

Fabulous apartment. Spotlessly clean. Was lovely to meet Cheryl and Mark, who gave us some great tips on places to visit. We went to Bowentown and went to the top, the views were stunning. Loved the special touches like cereal, toast, toppings and milk, much appreciated. The bed was very comfortable and the shower pressure was very good. Cheryl's garden was beautiful and you could actually hear the waves whilst sitting with our morning coffee. Just a short walk to the beach too. Absolutely recommend and would love to return.

Thank you to these kind and generous hosts, they both were so easy to talk with and so helpful. It was a perfect place to have a break at, I just wish that I could have stayed for longer. Immense gratitude to them both, I wish them continued success in their hosting lives and thank them for the privilege of being able to stay in their home.

What a lovely place to stay and the location is super close to the beach. Jackson is an awesome host. Great communication and very helpful. Hope to stay here again when we’re visiting Tauranga.

We had such a wonderful time! This is truly a beautiful Airbnb in a stunning location. It had everything we could possibly need and Robyn made us feel right at home. Our son enjoyed all the toys, puzzles and wanted to go kayaking as soon as his eyes opened in the morning. We will be back!

This was my first time staying at David & Dianne's Airbnb. Although a very short stay, due to an early flight out of Auckland, I would have no hesitation in staying here again and giving a recommendation. The unit was very spacious and spotless, with great communication of where everything is kept etc. Fabulous location to Mount Maunganui restaurants, shops, surf beach and Pilot Bay. Thank you David & Dianne. Wishing you all the best for the rest of 2025.

Lovely modern & clean accommodation. Fantastic location. Easy walk to shops, beaches & restaurants.

The accommodation was beautiful & had a unique layout which we loved. It was a lovely weekend out of the city to enjoy the beaches with my husband & dog. The place had everything we needed & was close to all the spots we wanted to visit ☺️ the info & recommendations were great from the host!

Beautiful space, large and very comfortable for 2 couples. Great location with the beach just at the door, stunning views. Would be happy to stay again

Lynley was great and very accommodating

Thank you, Kristie, for a great stay! The house was clean, and your thoughtful touches made us feel cozy and right at home. We particularly enjoyed the sitting out on the deck soaking in the sunshine, and the outdoor shower was bliss. We appreciated your quick responses and helpful recommendations. We highly recommend your place and would love to come back another time.

Great stay, clean, everything you need and close to the beach.

Fantastic stay, good location for getting around the Bay, we loved the lovely decor and the beds were super comfy

It was a good fit for our whole family, including our small dog. The location was a highlight, with the beach just a short walk away. The living area was cosy and worked really well for relaxing and watching movies on the rainy days.

Dave was communicative and flexible, and the place was clean and had everything we needed. Highly recommended.

Leanne’s place suited our needs perfectly. We were a small group at the Mount for a sports event and found the full kitchen, two bathrooms and shared living space suited our needs well. The beach and a great cafe were only a very short walk away and with our rental car we found all parts of the area easily accessible. Thank you Leanne and Stephen!

We absolutely loved our stay!!! The apartment itself is so spacious, beautifully decorated and the kitchen had everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable and the shower water pressure was great. The location was close to everything- we walked everywhere the weekend. Will most definitely be back - this is the perfect place for a weekend in the Mount!

The apartment was perfect. Good underground parking. Close to the venue we were attending. Just a couple of minutes walk to the city centre and restaurants. Very quiet. Arihia and Char were excellent hosts.

This is the second time I staid at Trudi’s place and both times I felt right at home. Trudi is so great and made me feel so comfortable! The space is beautiful and cozy and in a great spot. Close to lots of restaurants and the beach!! I will definitely bring back! Thanks Trudi xx

Excellent location. Close to everything. Clean and tidy, well lived in, apartment. Very small 2nd bedroom (office size) straight off the lounge. Perfect for us though, we enjoyed our stay. Brooke was a great- excellent comms.

The flat is conveniently located near a lot of shopping and restaurants. The back of the apartment complex has direct access to the beach. We had a great stay.

Fantastic, clear instructions which included everything you needed to know. It's a great location and was perfect for us being close to our beach event and also close to shops/restaurants. The apartment itself was clean and comfortable. We were so grateful of the fans in the lounge and bedrooms!

Lovely peaceful apartment, with lovely views. We were visiting relative so didn’t spend too much time in the apartment as we were visiting family but it was perfectly kitted out, the kitchen had everything you would need to cook.
