We have been staying at the Reef each year for the past 17 years. It’s wonderful location close to a beach surf break is the added drawcard, but it is a lovely situation just our from the busy central area of the mount. Always love our stays.

Everything is always immaculate, and the property and pool area so lovely. Our room was feeling a little dated, as I don’t think much has changed with the decor in the past decade, but every room is slightly different, so it may have just been that unit. But units are very well set out with a lot of space to holiday and relax.

We had the 3brm ocean view apartment. The property was spotless and very comfortable. A fantastic view from the balcony with very good outdoor furniture to enjoy the view and a vino. Very close to the town and we enjoyed some fantastic food at a couple of restaurants. Solero was unreal. We also went to Harbourside just over the causeway to Tauranga. The waiter was a super guy called VJ. Would we stay here again. Definitely.

The toilets were unusually lower. A bit trickier for a couple of us with knee problems.

Astounding property, the owners of the apartment (310) are to be complimented on their high standard of facilities and furnishings. It was a luxurious comfortable home from home. The sea view from the balcony was superb. We would highly recommend staying here, great value for money too. The pools were amazing, the hot pool was so relaxing. We were even able to borrow body boards for the beach.

Absolutely nothing to comment on.

Our family made an unexpected trip due to a death in the family. Due to a mix up our initial accomodation we booked was given to someone else leaving us with nowhere to stay. Luckily enough I saw an apartment pop up, so I booked it 5minutes prior to them closing and was met by a friendly and welcoming apartment manager who was absolutely amazing! I couldn't complain about anything in the room except the fact we couldn't stay longer! We were all able to relax after a very stressful day and the kids enjoyed the pool right outside our room.

It was a bit pricey. My kids want me to add they didn't like the rule of "no manu's in the pool" haha

It had absolutely everything a whānau could need including amazing weather. All amenities were perfect including the carpark space underground giving great peace of mind for security. Staff were absolutely amazing and even supplied a trolley chart to make transporting bags conveniently to our room.

Everything was perfect but the beds could use an updated mattress for a more luxurious and comfortable stay.

Toni was incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay 👌. We stayed for 4 nights, the rooms (Two-bedroom apartments ground floor) were immaculate, very comfortable and exceeded our expectations. The price was reasonable for the 4 nights stay. We also really enjoyed the heated POOLS especially the children. We would definitely book here again 100% 🤩

The apartment was particularly good for me and my two adult sons (who don't like sharing a bedroom).

The lounge furniture is starting to show its age and there was a bit of a musty odour in the en-suite bathroom. None of this spoiled the stay - just thought it might be something to keep an eye on.

We were delighted with our apartment. We had a fantastic view looking northeast over the beach and towards Mouau. The balcony was great for dinners and catching up with family based in Mt Maunganui. We had a twin room for our family of five. The pool and spa facilities were great. They were both clean and friendly for kids. I really liked how the pool was quite deep and we spent close to 8 hours in both the spa and pool over our three-night stay. The location of the apartment to the beach was great as we were able to easily head down for a play in the sand, swim, or surf. It was only an 8-minute walk to the New World or a 15-minute walk into town.

We liked the exceptional presentation and the services, bathroom kitchen etc. next time we will request a beachfront view, this is not a complaint having never stayed there before (i live in Taupo) i will definitely recommend it to friends.

absolutely nothing, although the girls complained about having to remove all of the rubbish themselves 😊

perfect place for holidays with kids. we loved everything - spacious apartments, walks on the beach, close proximity to town centre, secure parking and THE POOL! it was so nice to be able to go for a swim multiple times a day, there were lots of kids around and our boy always had someone to play with. our legs were also grateful for the spa after climbing to the top of Mount Maunganui :)

it would have been great to have some basics in the kitchen like cooking oil and salt/pepper.
