Sundowner | Centre-ville, Terrasse ensoleillée + 2 Parcs

Summary:

Welcome to Sundowner, a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment on Maunganui Road in downtown Mount Maunganui, sleeping 6. Walk to Main Beach, restaurants, cafés and boutiques of the main strip, then come home to a private sun terrace that catches the afternoon and evening sun. Two private car parks, lift access and air conditioning make it easy for families and friends. Thoughtfully cared for by Five Star Focused, for a stay with a five-star feel



The Space:

Sundowner is named for its best moment: late afternoon on the terrace, drink in hand, as the sun warms the deck and the Mount begins to glow.



THE SUN TERRACE

Your private terrace gets the afternoon and evening sun – made for long lunches, BBQ dinners and sundowners. Outdoor dining for 6 / view of Mauao or the harbour from the terrace.



DOWNTOWN LIVING

You're on Maunganui Road in the heart of downtown. Main Beach, the Mauao base track and the main strip's cafés, restaurants and boutiques are all within walking distance. Approx. 10 minute walk to Main Beach, so you can park the car and leave it for the stay.

Stays with a five-star feel.



Guest Access:

The whole apartment is yours, including the private sun terrace and two car parks.



Your Five Star Focused check-in guide arrives by email and in our guest app two days before arrival. Keys are collected from a secure lockbox about 5 minutes drive or walk from the apartment – step-by-step directions are in your guide.



Early check-in, late check-out and mid-stay cleans can be requested through the guest app, subject to availability.



The Neighborhood:

Sundowner puts you on Maunganui Road in the heart of downtown Mount Maunganui, with the main strip's shops, cafés and restaurants right outside and Main Beach within walking distance approx. 10 minute walk.



Start the day with a walk or swim at Main Beach, then come home to the terrace for sundowners. For calmer water, Pilot Bay on the harbour side is popular for paddle boarding, kayaking and family swims.



Downtown Mount is all around you, with Maunganui Road and the surrounding streets lined with boutiques, cafés, restaurants and bars.



The Mount is also a great base for a wellness break, with oceanfront sauna sessions at The Sauna Project, movement classes at Ō Studio and spa treatments at Fernland Spa.



For families, Baywave TECT Aquatic & Leisure Centre has wave pools and hydro slides, and Bayfair Shopping Centre has cinemas, supermarkets, dining and shops, both a short 10 minute drive. For panoramic Bay of Plenty views, the walking tracks at Papamoa Hills Regional Park are about 20 minutes drive.



Across the harbour, Tauranga CBD offers waterfront dining, boutique bars, harbour walks and a growing food and nightlife scene.



Further afield, Rotorua's geothermal parks and Māori cultural experiences, the Hobbiton Movie Set, Whakatane's fishing charters and the beaches of the southern Coromandel are all good day trips, about 1–1.5 hours' drive.



Whether you're here for the beach, a family holiday, a weekend with friends or a longer summer stay, Sundowner keeps the best of Mount Maunganui and the Bay of Plenty within easy reach.



Getting Around:

Sundowner is in the heart of downtown, just a short stroll from Main Beach, so most guests park on arrival and explore on foot.



BY CAR

Two car parks are included on-site – a rare luxury downtown. Tauranga Airport is around a 10-minute drive, and Auckland is roughly 2.5–3 hours away.



TAXI & RIDESHARE

Uber and local taxis operate throughout Tauranga and the Mount.



BUS

BayBus services connect the Mount with Tauranga city and the wider Bay.
