The beach, the People, the Mountain, the Ocean.
Con
Can be incredibly busy at holiday times, especially at new year
In a nutshell
A volcano, a surf beach, harbour beach and some metropolis.
8 Reviews There are also other routes for those that are afraid of heights which avoid the steep drops.. If you follow the 4x4 track it will also take you to the top, it is a steep climb but you miss the narrowness of the other tracks. I took this one going up and took the narrow steps down. You can get to it...
3 Reviews Hot Saltwater Pools I love to go here, especially at night, and soak in the naturally heated salt water pools. Set outdoors with lovely furns overhanging and of course the dominant presence of Mt Maunganui looming above, it's a really enjoyable experience. For people staying in either the...

The Cabana Cafe: The Cabana Cafe
allikat Says: A typical kiwi pavement cafe, the Cabana Cafe is on the seafront, overlooking the beach and the ocean. All day breakfasts a speciality, a good coffee menu, and a perfect spot to indulge in one of my favourite pasttimes, people watching!One of the things I love about living...
rozehill Says: Private dining indoors or outdoors, plenty of shade or sun as you prefer
Not everywhere has a port for cruise ships.
kiwi Says: You can call at Mt Maunganui while on a sea cruise. Here we see the ship "Legend of the Seas", on which vt member "seagoingjlw" and her husband arrived.The great thing about the port here is that it is walking distance from the main shopping area. You won't find a mall or...
ATXtraveler Says: Sarah and I ventured out on our trip to enjoy the Mount Maunganui by renting a vehicle from Europcar in Auckland's CBD. It ended up saving us quite a bit of money not to rent from the airport location, because it was 10-15 NZD per day less than what we had quoted over the...

riley-the-mountie Says: Climbing Mount Maunganui is a fantastic experiance which will take you around 30 minutes to reach the summit. The tracks are wide and user friendly, please be sure to keep left when climbing or decending. Enjoy a picnic at the top (picnic tables are on the summit) or keep...
rozehill Says: "MAUAO" - which means -"caught by the light of the dawn"Mauao or Mount Maunganui situated in the eastern entrance of Tauranga Harbour. It is the most sacred landmark in the Tauranga area and has significant historical value. Mauao was once an extensive settlement which...
kiwi Says: From time to time, poison is laid to control the rabbit population on the mountain. Signs are always erected to indicate this danger. So beware and be sure to supervise children at all times. Don't handle anything you are unsure of .
Please don't walk in the enclosed areas
kiwi Says: At various intervals and locations along the ocean beach, there are small enclosures where native grasses have been planted to help stop erosion of the beach. Please keep out of these areas to allow the grasses to take hold and do their job. They are clearly marked so it...
kiwi Says: Tauranga City Council requires that you do NOT take your dog for a walk on the mountain. And it is not permissable to ride your mountain bike up there either. Being run as a farm, and also suffering from fires and errosion, at times the ecology of the mountain is too fragile...
Be sure not to disturb the sheep.
kiwi Says: Part of the lower slopes of the Mount are run as an operational sheep farm. Around the months of July - Dec it's likely you will come across lambs of varying ages. Of course they are cute and cuddly, usually running with their mothers who are equally as cute and cuddly....
allikat Says: At times, the paths on the mount can take you close to the edge, and there are no guard rails. As long as common sense prevails, you will be just fine, but you do need to be aware. Over recent yeras, there have been some landslides, and for a while the mount was closed to...
ATXtraveler Says: Mount Maunganui is located on the North Island of New Zealand and therefore your bag will need to contain fairly warm clothes for a July trip. I was comfortable in a windbreaker and jeans. Since I did do quite a bit of hiking, I may recommend a more athletic type attire for...

Ludders Says: This new zealand Christmas tree blossoms after late November its so beautiful, flowers on the north island by the coast. This one was by the mount
rozehill Says: Great for families or anyone who enjoys a good stroll with stunning scenery which changes in every turn you take.
kiwi Says: The Summit of Mt Maunganui is a great place for 360deg views. On a clear day you can see forever. Northwest towards Coromandel, SE towards Whakatane and East Cape, West towards the Kaimai Range and East towards South America and Chile!! This photo shows the view towards the...
kiwi Says: This community has been a favourite holiday spot for varying New Zealanders, for years. Many families owned holiday cottages here in prime spots. This is one of the last examples of these, set right at the base of the Mount between the harbour and the ocean. Slowly the...

This is a great place to relax. We were here in November when it was still a little too chilly to enjoy the beaches but I imagine in summer it must be amazing. Although the locals did tell us that it...
