so much to see & do

restaurants & cafes

In Mount's main street, you'll find a range of great restaurants and cafes to choose from, with something for everyone's budget and style.

Dui's for great authentic Thai Food, Alpino for stylish Italian Alfresco dining, and Osteria for larger family groups. 

Gratitude is a great daytime cafe for vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options, and The General for a wholesome brunch. 

 

For sundowners and a casual meal, try the Astrolabe, Hide Thirst & Hunger or Ritas. 

 

play & stay

  • Swim and Surf
    The Mount Main beach is patrolled by experienced lifeguards during the summer season. For your safety, we recommend swimming between the flags in the patrolled area of the main beach.  For those seeking calmer conditions, we suggest heading to Pilot Bay Beach; a short stroll towards the harbour.
  • Walks 
    There are plenty of walks to enjoy on your door step including a summit of Mount Maunganui, a gentler walk around the base of the mount or a stroll along the Marine Parade or Pilot Bay boardwalks.
  • Mt Hot Pools
    For those wanting a relaxing soak, try the Mount Hot Pools located at the base of Mount Maunganui

  • Pamper yourself
    If you're after some pampering, we recommend Thai Touch for relaxing massage and for complete body care Sanctum Medi Spa on Victoria Road.
