Local cafes

Excellent pastries/brunch and fine coffee. Our favourite within walking distance to the studio - 5 minute walk. Turn right out drive, left down Bain Street until you hit the main road (Maunganui Road) where the shops are. Turn right and walk one block towards Mauao (the Mount).

Sightseeing

This is the closest beach - about a six minute walk away. We normally swim directly where the beach access finishes, but during the peak summer season it’s safer to swim between the flags at Tay Street beach as rips and holes can form anytime Easiest way is to walk there – about 6 minutes. Head out the drive and turn right and walk 150m along Valley Road until you find the beach access way at the corner of Bain St and Valley Road. Keep following the beach access routes, crossing three roads, until you hit the beach.

The classic thing to do - walk or jog around the base or for amazing views walk to the top along one of the tracks (we can recommend specific tracks depending on what you're looking for). Go for a swim on Mount Beach, a soak in the hot pools or a walk around Motiriki (Leisure Island) while you're there
