Company info

Sun, sand, sea, and a big dose of hospitality! We’re Bill and Sue Sinclair, the husband-and-wife team behind The Reef Beachfront Apartments, and we’re delighted to welcome you to our slice of coastal paradise. Our story began in rural Waiuku. After boarding school days in Auckland, raising our two daughters, Katie and Greer, and years spent in corporate roles navigating city traffic, we realised something was missing — more fun, more sun, and more balance. Family beach holidays and overseas travel eventually led us to The Reef in Mount Maunganui — a place where relaxation, laughter, and seaside living come naturally. It felt like the perfect place to create something special and share it with others. Here at The Reef, our mission is simple: to make every guest feel relaxed, comfortable, and genuinely welcome — like part of our extended seaside family. Whether you’re visiting for adventure or tranquillity, a family holiday, a group stay, or a business trip, we’re here to help you create memorable beachfront moments. Enjoy our spacious, self-contained apartments, the beach just across the road, and our swimming pool and hot soak pool. It truly is a home away from home. We look forward to hosting you all. Bill and Sue Sinclair

Property info

The Reef Beachfront Apartments offers supremely comfortable and spacious family/couples friendly accommodation beside the beach. Being exactly 3 km's from the base of Mount Maunganui makes our environment peacefull as we are away from the hussle & bussle of the Mount, but just a 30 minute walk to enjoy what it has to offer. Our swimming pool and hot soak pool remain heated throughout the year, and it's sheltered location makes for an enjoyable poolside environment. All of our 2 and 3 bedroom apartments have 2 bathrooms and a private outdoor balcony or courtyard with outdoor furniture. The 2 bedroom upper floor apartments all have views, either overlooking the pool towards The Mount, or with angled views of the sea. The upper floor 3 Bedroom apartments are beachfront with expansive ocean views.
