We love how easy life feels here. The beach is close, the neighbourhood is friendly, and the house is calm, light, and comfortable. It’s a place that makes slowing down and getting outside feel effortless.

Neighbourhood
Wake to sea air and an easy rhythm of life at Papamoa Beach. From the house, it is a gentle ten-minute stroll to wide white sands where mornings are made for barefoot walks and afternoons drift by to the sound of rolling surf. Access points dot the coastline, so the beach always feels close and welcoming, whether you are heading out for a swim, a surf lesson, or simply to watch the light change.
Just inland, Papamoa Hills Regional Park rises quietly above the suburb, offering walking tracks with sweeping views back to the ocean. Close by you will also find beachside saunas, scenic cycle trails, and plenty of opportunities to explore at your own pace. It is an easy place to be active, or to do very little at all.
Golfers are particularly well looked after. Mount Maunganui Golf Course is only four kilometres away, with another five courses scattered within a comfortable 15 to 45 minute drive. Clubs, courses, and coastal air make for memorable rounds.
A short ten-kilometre drive brings you to Mount Maunganui itself, one of New Zealand’s favourite holiday towns. Here you will find ocean and harbour beaches, coastal and summit walks, boutique shopping, and a lively café and restaurant scene that rewards lingering evenings.
For those who like to range further afield, the location is ideal for classic New Zealand day trips. Hobbiton, the storybook film set tucked into green farmland, is around an hour’s drive. Rotorua, with its geothermal landscapes, lakes, forests, and cultural experiences, is just as close. Great Lake Taupo, expansive and dramatic, sits about two hours away and makes for a rewarding longer day out.
Whether your days are spent close to home between beach and café, or unfolding into road trips and adventures, Papamoa offers a relaxed base with an abundance of experiences waiting just beyond the front door.
Getting to my home
Auckland is a 3 hour drive or 35 minute flight away.
Nearest airport
Tauranga Airport (TRG) is just 5 km from the house.
