Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    We took the base walk and still can be steep for those with walking issues. There are places to stop and rest along the way. The views are magnificent.

    Beautiful beach and free to use. The waves are great for surfing. It is large enough to not be on top of others.
    Only complaint would be no wash off point near the exit. There is one down the hill.
    Water clean with plenty of shells

    No matter how fit you are.. this is a winner walk around the base if Mount Maunganui.

    Allyou needs comfortable shoes.

    Start off on the left hands ide overlooking the Bayside. You will have a choice to walk the main track or walk down to the beach below before coming back up.

    Beautiful scenery with massive trees providing shade on sunny days.

    Seating ares on the way around to take a break.

    On the oceanside, you will have the rockpools. Depending on the tide, take a wander and explore this area for shells and climb the rocks.

    The last part, you will see the waves crashing onto the main beach. Beautiful way to spend 30 mins of your day.

    Have fun.

    Stunning on a sunny day! Watch the rowers, families swimming and teenagers jumping off the pier. Stroll on the sidewalk, or watch the passengers coming and going from the cruise ships. Glorious views, and very calm and peaceful.

    To all Rhodesians. Still resident or not.
    This Museum is run by the most professional team on the planet.
    In particular Hugh Bomford.
    Hugh has been able to sort out recognition of my Rhodesian Military service.
    In short.
    The website is well worth a visit , and, if I am ever so fortunate , a physical visit will be essential.
    Once again thank you for your prompt help.

    Easy walk with nice views of the ocean, certain areas with the jagged rocks I wouldn't recommend, blow hole at very end but due to no swells only saw minimal water cascading from.

    Had a family day out including 2 young grandchildren at The Bay. It is such a picturesque ground with Mount Maunganui in the background. The Northern Braves beat the Auckland Aces pretty convincingly in what was a fun afternoon. Three hours was enough for the grandkids so we skipped the ladies match afterwards.
    It is a tidy ground but it will have to have some covered areas for protection from rain, wind and strong sunshine especially as it has International status.

    A great spot for retail therapy or, as we did, to catch up with friends over lunch [lots! of options]. Clean facilities and easy parking. Seems to always have road works outside when we visit?! But a small price to pay.

    The Anzac memorial is worth a visit if only to remember the Australian and New Zealand forces that made the ultimate sacrifice on the side of Britain and the allies during ww2

    Kiwi-themed items but not your typical tourist tat. No tee shirts here. Beautifully curated selection of crafts. We could have bought so much. No doubt we will come back for a second look and buy some more.

    I went with my 3 children (8 and under) and we all had a blast. My toddler especially loved being able to climb as high as he wanted without any worry on my part. And being clipped in to the harness, I could relax knowing he wouldn’t run off! The auto harnesses were so good. My older 2 children loved challenging themselves. We can’t wait to go again. So many different walls and challenges to climb on. The staff were fantastic.
