Mt Maunganui, or lovingly referred to as the Mount is a pretty neat town indeed. I haven’t been there for years, we are talking nearly a decade – and when I finally made it back this year I could not been any more pleasantly surprised. It felt like a posh resort somewhere far, far away! The vibe? Oh the surfy – beachy – resort like … Continue reading Mt Maunganui
Without trying to sound cheesy or anything, The Line was my favourite/best hotel I’ve ever stayed at.
