2/154 Marine Parade, Mount Maunganui, Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

Some addresses put you in the scene - this one puts you on the stage.

Positioned front and centre on Marine Parade, Apartment 2/154 delivers the Mount lifestyle in its most effortless form. Expansive ocean views stretch wide across the dunes to the sparkling Pacific, with ever-changing blues, rolling swell and unforgettable sunrises becoming part of your daily rhythm. Salt air drifts through open sliders, the sound of waves becomes your daily soundtrack, and the Mount lifestyle unfolds right in front of you.

Secure, exclusive, architecturally designed and generously scaled at 160sqm (more or less), this is apartment living without compromise. It’s the kind of home where you can lock up, head away, and know you’ll be back to sunrise swims and salt-rimmed evenings.

The open-plan kitchen, dining and living zones take pride of place along the frontage, wrapped in glazing to soak in the outlook. A well-proportioned family kitchen anchors the space, both functional and social, with a generous island and breakfast bar that invites connection – morning coffee with the newspaper, friends gathered while dinner is prepared, effortless entertaining that spills naturally outdoors.

Dining and living flow easily from here, with dual sliders stacking back to blur the line between indoors and the covered balcony that becomes an all-season room. Elevated above the Parade, it’s a front-row seat to surfers carving through clean lines, paddle boarders drifting by, joggers tracing the boardwalk, and the occasional pod of dolphins or passing orca. It’s a front-row seat to beach town life, elevated just enough to feel private yet immersed in the energy below. Long lunches turn into sunset drinks as the sky softens and the ocean shifts colour.

The layout steps gently back with the curve of the building to create separation between accommodation and the living hub. The master suite is tucked privately back with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. A second generous bedroom and bathroom provide comfort for guests, while the third bedroom off the living offers flexibility - ideal as a home office, hobby room, or extra guest space. Two secure carparks, lift access and a small, well-managed body corporate round out the ease factor.

With Tay Street Store and cafe below, the beach across the road, and Downtown Mount within easy reach, this is coastal apartment living that feels both laid-back and luxe in one of the most tightly held positions on the strip.

Front row. Full view. Completely captivating.
