Comfy, great location. Loved the heated pool and the view.

The Reef is in a fantastic location, so close to the beach and a short drive to The Mount shops and restaurants. The two bedroom apartments are a good size. The kids love the pool & spa.

Beautiful views, use of boogie boards a great bonus

Perfect location right across from the beach with sea views and an amazing outdoor area

We had a great stay at the Reef Beachfront Apartments. We were upgraded from a pool level 2 BR, 2 BA apartment to one on the 3rd level with a view of the Mount (though not the ocean, which was fine). The apartment was enormous! It was also very clean, very comfortable and had everything we needed: a large balcony with a table/chairs and sun umbrella, a full kitchen stocked with glassware, plates, pots, pans, etc, and (best of all) a full size washer and dryer. The location was great, just across from a swimming beach. It was a beautiful 20-30 minute walk into town and there was a great little cafe about a 5-7 min walk away. New World was about a 5-10 min walk. Free garage parking was an added bonus. We didn't end up using the pool or hot pool but both looked lovely. We'd stay here again.

Thank you Toni! Loved this property. Very well kept, great pool area, very spacious 2 bedroom suite with well-equipped kitchen and nicely open to a large living room area and dining table. Everything I needed for a great 5 nights. I highly recommend this property for a short or extended stay.

Very comfortable stay

Lovely location, staff were friendly, room was clean and tidy. Our children had an awesome time. Pool was perfect and so close to the beach. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend

Very spacious, comfortable two bedroom unit. Loved the patio, the view, and proximity to the beach!

Great for a family stay - across the road from the beach; nice heated swimming pool & spa on site. easy walk to supermarket. Highly recommend

Unbelievable outlook to the ocean. Easy walk to supermarket and 5 min drive to Mt Maunganui. Will definitely stay again.

Perfect accomodation. We felt really spoilt! Clean premises and room was great. Bed was really comfy! Would definitely stay again next time we’re at the Mount.

Manager was excellent and very accommodating. The units dryer was OOO which was inconvenient but the manager was able to provide an option. The stovetop wasn’t intuitive. I had to look online for operating instructions. It was a simple child lock feature but would be helpful to have some easy instructions for future.

Great place. The apartment was amazing, everything you needed and lots of space. Great having under ground carpark also and secure. We will definitely be back.

Very tired. Large unit, but dated and not very clean. Looks better in the photos than in reality.

Top Apartments and Location

Beautiful apartments in equally nice location. Manager was so helpful and moved us to a more suitable apartment for our family needs which was much appreciated. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back soon. Thank you for a great stay.

Beautiful Location. Shower screens could have done with a clean.

Thank you for uderstanding that we would be a late check in and putting the key in the box ready for us when we arrived so we didn’t need to rush.

Great location, generous sized apartments and great staff.

Nice ocean veiw, close proximity to everything you need, decent size apartments, nice pool/hottub, handy underground parking and front desk during business hours.

Just a dripping kitchen tap that was loud.

Good condition

The property is directly across from the beach. We stayed in a 3-bedroom that opened directly out toward the ocean. It was very convenient to the area - we hiked Mt Tauranga and went on a dolphin cruise-both within 10 minute driving time.

Clean and spacious apartment, we enjoyed our stay

Great spot if you need an extended stay

Would definitely stay here again. The property was clean and tidy and the beach was straight across the road with the option of a swimming pool as well.

Wonderful hotel option

The place was great, but the real impressive part was the staff who went above a beyond. They made us feel super welcome and comfortable.

Big roomy spartments

Nice place. Great staff

Great staff

Beautiful beach front property. Short walk to local cafe (corner Tay Street & Marine Parade) for breakfast or lunch, which was divine. Pool onsite was warm and locals/residents were very friendly. Will definitely stay again. Reception staff super friendly and helpful.

Great base in Tauranga

The Reef was our base for 2 weeks whilst we met up with family. Our apartment was spacious and comfortable with everything you need to self cater. Appreciated the mid stay apartment service clean sheets and towels always welcome. The onsite parking was a bonus. Excellent location and already missing morning coffee on “our” bench on the seafront. Would highly recommend The Reef to anyone and will use again on our next visit from UK.

Loved the pool Loved our Apartment and the gorgeous beach just across the road

Great property, loved the beach views, decor & lovely outdoor area. Staff were also lovely too.

Great location

Very nice hot tub, lovely apartment close to the mountain.

Perfect Break Away

Fabulous location right in the heart of the Mount. Just a stones throw from the beach where our boys surfed. We were in a Partial Sea View Room which was amazing - the apartments spacious and a bonus having 2 bathrooms. Clean and tidy. Pools were great - nice having a heated pool and the spa was perfect for soaking in at the end of the day.

Perfect Family Suites

Lovely apartment. Clean and very comfortable. Great parking. Friendly staff

All good would stay again

Great facility and amenities! Perfect for 4 people.

Fabulous for a family trip!

Our stay totally exceeded our expectations. The apartment was much larger than I expected (living area) and the patio doors opened out to steps toward the pool. The property is also right across the road from a beach access point. A lovely family/dog-friendly cafe just down the road. We will definitely return!

The property was well kept, clean, near the beach, amazing view of the sea. V Nice!

Enjoyed a fabulous 2 night stay with my family. Spacious apartment - which was actually better than the photos. Fantastic pool too and very clean throughout

Well equipped and spacious rooms and twin car parking made it more like a home than rented accommodation. Attentive service meant an unforeseen late check in was simple.

A lovely "home from home" quality apartment with all the facilities you would need to have a comfortable stay. Just across the road to the beach, the apartments are perfectly placed for all local amenities.

Great pool but maintenance needed for mold in unit

Great pool!! Mold throughout condo as there is a lack of deep cleaning and maintenance in master bathroom- dripping shower head and dripping sink show evidence mold has had time to accumulate.

Great accomdation and location, will definately return

Clean tidy and very spacious apartments

Very nice property close to the beach. Very helpful receptionist

Wonderful quiet location across from great beach with large, well-furnished apartments. Management was very helpful. Would highly recommend a stay here.

Great location, well presented. Uncomfortably hot, only one heat pump in one of the bedrooms.

Had a great stay. Only downfall was there was no air conditioning in the living area nor the small bedroom which made the bedroom very warm at night. Otherwise was perfect! Comfy and close to everything 😊

Very welcoming staff, lovely setting in a great location.

Heated pool and spa. Cleanliness. Friendly staff.

Great place to stay

Amazing place to stay, wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the facilities more

Very spacious, lovely pool area. A little further away from the action perhaps. Would definitely recommend though.

Great location across the road from beach, good sized apartments

Very nice and comfortable serviced apartment. Easy access to swimming pool and hot spa pool. Excellent layout and condition. Clean environment. Spacious for a family of 5. Remarkable experience.

Beautiful spacious apartment. Awesome view of pool from deck. Very quiet.

My wife enjoy the layout of the room. With all of the amenities...

Heated pool and hot tub was the highlight for us. Location was not walking distance from shops and cafes - there’s nothing within a km of here. But the flip side is it’s a quiet location.

Lovely room

Lovely position n views of the beach

Loved the spacious apartment, pool and friendliness of staff. Would highly recommend.

Great apartment , large living area with very large courtyard . beach short walk across the road and friendly staff

Our 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment was big in size and very clean.

lovely place ,no problems, had a nice time would book again

Amazing!

The view, location, staff & condition were beyond expectations. The photo online is exactly what it looks like at night!

A terrific apartment block with excellent amenities, very nice leisure pool and across the road from the beach. 3km from Mt Maunganui and 2km from the shops restaurants and bars. So a quieter area than town centre. That was a plus for us. The only con in the Reef is that the second bedroom has no window. There is a high level opaque glass block window which gives some light from the corridor. But heh, you sleep in the bedroom so it’s not a great sacrifice for all the very positive things about the Reef. Go there. You will not be disappointed. And it’s a bit less expensive that comparable apartment close to the centre.

Amazing apartment. Modern, spotlessly clean. Great leisure swimming pool. Across the road from the beach. What more do you want? 3km from Mt Maunganui a 15 walk to the town and restaurants or a 3 minute drive. This is a plus. It’s a bit quieter than being in town and a bit less expensive. Cons? Only one really. The second bedroom is a bit small and has no window in it. There is a high level opaque window which takes some corridor light into the room. But heh, most of the time in your room you are asleep. So a minor problem.

Great location. Really tidy apartments. Everything you need. Great pool. Definitely stay again

On arrival lady in office was very pleasant, nothing was a problem. Complex is lovely and clean. Units are well equipped with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Highly recommend, would definitely stay again.

Close to the beach. Awesome accommodations. Friendly staff.

Apartment exceeded my expectations in almost all areas.

Highly recommend

Great location, great quality apartment, but I had no water views ☹️ I’ll have to take more note next time how I book and request views.
