There’s something undeniably special about Mount Maunganui. Whether you’re a local, a frequent visitor, or someone dreaming of a sea change, this place has a magic that’s hard to resist. More than just a beachside town, The Mount, as it’s affectionately known, is a way of life. Nestled on a sun-drenched peninsula in Tauranga, New Zealand, it’s where golden beaches, clear blue waters, and a relaxed coastal vibe set the scene for an enviable lifestyle.
A playground for ocean lovers & outdoor enthusiasts
Consistently ranked among New Zealand’s best beaches, Mount Maunganui Beach is the kind of place where barefoot mornings turn into sun-soaked afternoons. Whether you’re riding the waves, dipping into rock pools, or simply soaking up the sea air, this stretch of coastline is pure paradise.
But The Mount isn’t just about the beach. It’s an outdoor playground, perfect for paddleboarding, cycling scenic coastal trails, or setting off on a sunrise hike.
Mauao: A cultural & scenic icon
Standing tall over the town is Mauao, the extinct volcanic cone that defines Mount Maunganui’s skyline. The climb to the summit is a must, offering breathtaking views of the Bay of Plenty and a glimpse into the area’s deep Māori heritage. The mountain’s legends and history are woven into the town’s identity, adding a unique cultural depth to this beautiful coastal setting.
Coffee, food & a warm community
Despite being an exceptionally desirable tourism destination, The Mount has held onto its small-town charm. The café culture is thriving, with artisan coffee, fresh seafood, and vibrant local eateries dotted along the waterfront. Whether it’s a laid-back brunch with an ocean view or a sunset drink at a beachside bar, Mount Maunganui serves up the perfect mix of relaxed and refined.
A unique business & lifestyle opportunity
For those looking to combine work with the ultimate lifestyle, a rare management rights business opportunity has surfaced in this sought-after location. Positioned right on Marine Parade, just steps from the shoreline, this business comes with a secure 10-year Management Agreement and a strong portfolio of 17 well-presented apartments in the letting pool, generating annual earnings well exceeding $400K.
According to Chris D’Anvers, marketing agent at Coffeys, this is a turnkey investment offering both strong net profits and an enviable lifestyle. ““The business is currently managed by one person with minimal work required to maintain the property, making it an ideal opportunity for a couple seeking financial security and a laid-back beachside way of life,” he said.
“Tauranga is one of New Zealand’s fastest-growing cities, and The Mount is its crown jewel. With limited future development opportunities and one of the country’s best beaches on the doorstep, accommodation here is in high demand—opportunities like this are few and far between.”
An investment in a better way of life
The Mount is a place that draws people in and keeps them coming back—whether for a weekend getaway or a permanent sea change. With growing tourism, a strong local economy, and an unbeatable coastal location, this is more than just a business opportunity. It’s a chance to live differently, work flexibly, and wake up to one of the most spectacular views in New Zealand—every single day.
