Mount Maunganui & McLaren Falls | Bay of Plenty, NEW ZEALAND

When visiting Mt Maunganui aka The Mount in The Bay of Plenty, climbing to the summit of Mauao is an absolute must-do activity. The view from the top is magnificent and well worth the steep and steady climb!

Mauao is an extinct volcanic cone and an iconic landmark of the coastal Bay of Plenty for both tourists and locals alike.

There are tons of cafes and restaurants to eat at in Mount Maunganui. For lunch we went to a very colourful eatery that caught our eye when we initially drove past called Rice Rice Baby. Fresh and tasty Vietnamese food. It totally hit the spot after our climb up the mount!

Address: 136 Maunganui Road, Mount Maunganui 3116
Hours: Mon–Sun 11:30am – late

After lunch we headed over to McLaren Falls and McLaren Falls Park which is only about 10 mins from Tauranga but it's longer when coming from Mount Maunganui like we did. While at McLaren Falls Park we enjoyed a leisurely stroll to Lake McLaren before making our way over to Te Puna where our accommodation for the night was.

Our Airbnb was a lovely cosy studio cottage. A gem nestled in the country-side with wonderful views, that's still close enough to Tauranga city too. Karen was a very warm and welcoming host and her Airbnb was such a comfortable stay.
