Geoff and Belinda are the most amazing hosts. They are friendly and really care about their guests but also give you privacy. The house is a dream house, the room I rented was very clean and nicely decorated, it had private bathroom and shower, all extremely clean. I was able to use the kitchen and the laundry facilities, which helped a lot as I was staying for a month. Geoff and Belinda also let me use the lounge and TV as if it were my own home. I felt very welcome and very safe. I strongly recommend staying here. Especially recommend to anyone looking for a beach vacation, the beach is a 2 second walk from the house and there are plenty of nice places to go nearby, just 15mins drive from Mount Maunganui. Love this place and will definitely come back, if only to spend more time with the hosts and their two cute, very well behaved, little dogs.
