- Dave, December 2023Dave “Nice property, re booked already :)”
- Dave, November 2023Bruce “This was a perfect place to stay with my daughter’s family and two dogs.”
Absolutely as advertised and could not be faulted in any respect.
- Bruce, October 2023Javier “Very nice tidy and cosy place and the people treat us so good”
- Javier, July 2023Terrence “We enjoyed our stay at Sandcastles on Tay.”
Loved the top level viewing platform! I think the only thing we can be critical of is that much of the cutlery, crockery, glasses and the large frying pan were all not cleaned thoroughly. We had to clean all these items before using them. Other than that it was a lovely stay at a great location.
- Terrence, August 2022Hi Terrence and thank you very much for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the great location. We appreciate you taking the time to provide us insight into what was disappointing with your stay so that we can improve for the future. The owners have now installed a new dishwasher for future guests. Bachcare
Dom “Great place, close to the beach, comfy bed.”
Nice garden for the dogs.
- Dom, July 2022Donna “The best location, great house The back door was hard to open Could not open side gate No toaster But other than that comfortable clean home.”
- Donna, July 2022Holly “Great location and plenty of room!”
Fur bud had a fantastic break at the beach, wish we could have stayed longer! Would stay again!
- Holly, March 2022Adam “We were booked to stay for nine nights and we left after only three nights!”
! The house was uninhabitable during the course of the day due to the heat (that was with all doors and windows open) and only one really old and quite frankly useless fan in the place. We were unable to to continue staying there as it was also too hot for our dog. Really disappointing as this was our first holiday in three years!!! The only thing that lived up was the locality to the beach.
- Adam, February 2022Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to let you know that the owners have installed air conditioning so that the house can be cooled in the warmer months. We hope to welcome you back again in the future so that you can enjoy Sandcastles on Tay at its best. Bachcare
Dwayne “Was spacious.”
Loved the upstairs room and the upstairs roof balcony.. was a awesome stay and highly reccomend
- Dwayne, January 2022Veni “Good size bach if you are going with a family of 4-6 people.”
It was in a great location, a short walk to the beach and Tay Street cafe. It was handy having 2 bathrooms. Check that the fridge, oven and barbecue are in good working condition before you book or go. The property is suitable for a small to medium size dog.
- Veni, December 2021Sandy “Lovely clean and easy property would happily use again”
- Sandy, December 2021Dale “Suitable but sadly shabby and lacking in basic amenities.”
The area is lovely but we would not stay in this property again. It needs a re-arrange and an update in the kitchen and bathrooms. Once that's done it will be a great wee place once again. We loved the avocado tree laden with fruit! Bachcare, we would love to stay with you again if you would only answer emails and phone calls :-(
- Dale, October 2021Thank you for your review, Dale! We're glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and the amazing avocado tree! You've stayed right in season too. Thank you for your feedback about the property; we will be following it up with the property owners to work on possible improvements. Finally, regarding communication, I am sorry you had trouble getting through. The October School Holidays were a busier time than usual with some areas being able to welcome bookings and others undergoing mass cancellations so this may have impacted call volumes. It's great to see you've corresponded with the team about the recommendations via email. Bachcare
Diane “Good place to stay.”
Enough room for our family
- Diane, October 2021Robyn “Great house, perfect set-up and gorgeous host!”
Kylie has really thought of everything to make sure our stay was comfortable and relaxing and that’s exactly what it was! And on top of all that, being a stones throw from the beach, would love to stay here again!
- Robyn, July 2021Sheryl “Good house if you have teenagers as seperate upstairs.”
Great for small dogs fully fenced. All you need amd nice and warm Under floor heating. Will stay again
- Sheryl, July 2021Kim “The unit had everything you needed & was very comfortable & we loved sitting out in the private outdoor area.”
Short walk to beach which was fantastic. Will gladly be back to stay in the near future!
- Kim, December 2020Marcia “Good little place for a short break with a nice adjoining garden.”
Neighbours close by, but only a block or two from the beach. No aircon, but ground floor is tiled and gets a breeze through, so wasn’t too hot in the mid 20’s.
- Marcia, December 2020Kiley “Great place to go with young family and a dog.”
Great spaces to spread out inside and outside. Awesome location and great views from top storey. Great water pressure in shower. Easy to find and walk to beach , very relaxing place overall.

Sandcastles on Tay is a 3-bedroom holiday home with Wi-Fi and air-conditioning that is ideal for your next family getaway to sunny Mt Maunganui. There's plenty of space both indoors and out for the whole family, with three bedrooms across two levels and a rooftop sundeck. Sandcastles on Tay is pet-friendly too, so your furry family members can come along for the fun! Open plan living is on tiles with underfloor heating - perfect for both sandy feet and in the winter months! This flows out onto the private back patio with two outdoor dining areas and a cute small chair perfect for relaxing in the afternoon sun. The garage converted into a rumpus room is stocked with books and board games, plus a comfy chair to relax in while you catch up on some holiday reading. Sandcastles on Tay is in a great location on Tay Street, only 4 minutes walk to the beach, stopping past Tay St Beach Cafe for delicious brunch or coffee. Take the boogie boards provided down for fun in the waves, or fly a kite at Blake Park. You're also very close to the international cricket grounds for anyone keen to catch a match! This is a wonderful holiday home for families, close to the heart of the action but down a peaceful street away from the bustling main strip. You're just a 5-minute drive to the Mount Hot Pools and walking track up famous Mt Maunganui. After a day of adventures, return home to enjoy a drink on the rooftop sundeck with stellar views across Mt Maunganui. Magical family memories await at Sandcastles on Tay!
