These 8 B&Bs, handpicked for their high guest scores (89-99 out of 100), combine personal hospitality with practical perks like free parking, fast WiFi, and hearty breakfasts. Whether you're after a historic villa near the harbor or a family-friendly retreat with a pool, each property provides a distinct base for exploring Mount Maunganui and the city's beaches.
Expect to pay between $129 and $200 per night, depending on the season and room type. Most B&Bs sit within 6-21 km of Tauranga Airport, making them convenient for early flights. Top picks include Seascape Villa B&B (97/100) for its adults-only serenity and garden views, Swiss-Kiwi Cottage and Retreat (99/100) for its private check-in and in-room breakfast, and Botanical Haven (95/100) for its sea views and kitchenette.
