The historic Oceanview Pier is a central landmark, featuring amusements and fishing opportunities.


Couples often find this area ideal for a romantic getaway. The proximity to the beach allows for sunset walks and ocean-front dining. Many hotels here offer rooms with stunning ocean views, and there are plenty of options for spa treatments and sophisticated evening entertainment.


For families, the Downtown Waterfront also offers great convenience. Children will enjoy the amusements on the Pier and the easy access to the sandy beach for building sandcastles and playing in the waves.

The best areas to stay in Oceanview are primarily along the beachfront, particularly near Oceanview Promenade, and the quieter residential streets just a few blocks inland.


The Oceanview Promenade area is the main attraction, stretching for several kilometres along the coast. Here, you'll find most of the hotels, holiday lets, and dining options directly facing the Pacific Ocean. It's a very walkable area with easy access to the beach, the pier, and various shops.

For couples seeking a relaxing getaway with convenience, staying right on the Promenade is ideal. You'll be steps from the sand, with many restaurants and cafes within a short stroll. Enjoy sunset walks along the beach or dine with ocean vistas right outside your accommodation.


Families often find the residential streets just a block or two back from the Promenade to be a good fit. These areas tend to be quieter and offer a mix of holiday homes and smaller, family-friendly hotels.
