Georges BnB Nature and Lifestyle Retreat

The house was stunning with good views. Our room was perfect with good quality fittings. Our host was welcoming and helpful. This is one of the best B&B's I have stayed in.

Nothing

温馨的住宿，Georges会一直为我们增添柴火，保持屋内的温暖，一切都很干净，距离火山徒步的停车场非常近。早餐有cereal，鸡蛋和吐司，厨房设备一应俱全，照片都是在bnb附近所拍

之前旅客留下的果酱之类的可以及时清理，有些已经坏了

Beautiful house with great facilities and a very helpful host. The birdsong in the morning was lovely as was the view. 20 minutes out of New Plymouth, an easy drive.

Only the uncontrollable things like the rain lol

I like the billiard pool. Beautiful place

Nothing

Loved our stay here. Had the place to ourselves. Played pool, cooked dinner and made breakfast in the large, well stocked kitchen. Host was friendly and helpful - had fire going for our arrival and kept it stoked up. Will definately return

I liked that could come and go

It was all good. shame as booked two bedrooms other was up stairs where the owner lives and in photo looked like was down stairs. so my daughter didn't like that idea. had pull out couch bed in room so used that . tv never worked in room as wifi not set up. internet was ok but not best a part from that miner was a great place 2 stay shower nice hot had kitchen set up breakfast cosy comfy bed i had . George a nice guy kept to himself which was good

Full of family history. Cozy and warm.

Nothing, very satisfied.

Very comfortable and homely

Nothing

Sehr charmant, schön außerhalb gelegen mitten in der Natur bei Mt Egmont. Gemütlich mit Kamin und Billiard und sehr netter Gastgeber.

Quiet, beautiful, lots of room, full kitchen. George is is a great host!

The view, the house and the homieness. It was Great and George was awesome.

Everything was all goods. We werent picky.

Wonderful location in a natural environment. Perfect for the walk up Taranaki mountain. The host, George was friendly and the room was very comfortable.

George is very nice，the place is super to see the Mt Taranaki and sea.....the room id super and comfortable to stay.

Breakfast and location

Not that much clean and look old

La proximité avec la rando ++++ Le calme

On entend un peu les voisins du dessus mais ça dépend si la 2e chambre est habitée ou pas

Beautiful spot, friendly and accomodating host. Thanks so much!

The location is magic and the views of both New Plymouth and Mt Taranaki more than lived up to expectations. A quiet location that demands an exploration of the native bush and the opportunities for walks around Mt Taranaki.

Sehr freundlicher Gastgeber, gut gelegen für die Wanderung, Frühstück und Preis-Leistungsverhältnis

The BnB has several good points, including quiet, big living room, having free car parking space, the heater is enough, providing free breakfast, the rent price is cheaper. location for us is very convenient as near the car parking place of Mangorei Track Trailhead. Especial the George landlord is very friendly and helpful. He also helps me to resolve my package delivered thing.

Die Lage. Es war komplett dunkel drumherum sodass man einen fantastischen Nachthimmel sehen konnte.

Das Haus an sich hat schon bessere Tage gesehen. Die Sauberkeit lässt stark zu wünschen übrig. Spinnenweben über dem Bett. Generell ein muffiger Geruch.

beautiful home with a very helpful and courteous host

There was a whole fridge full of things we could use for breakfast. I loved the comfy living room and kitchen - very homelike.

We had problems paying, but it was because we had to cancel our second night, in order to catch the ferry.

The property is nicely located in the area.

We had some unfortunate problems with our room, which meant we had to leave a day early. George handled the situation well, and hopefully he can resolve the issue for future guests. It’s also worth noting that breakfast is a “build your own” style rather than a prepared meal.

Location, view as expected, great.

Sadly it appears that the property has been let get a little tired. Needs renew/replace pillows, towels(very thin now) and consider installing AC for the cooler weather. The rooms need a good cleanup as cobwebs and dust evident in downstairs bedroom.

Beautiful place, well kept.

The only thing I would recommend is having some heat on in the Kitchen/ dining area during cooler Fall days

The location is exceptional for exploring Taranaki trails, there are lovely views of the ocean and gardens from the kitchen/shared area, and we appreciated the flexibility about check in and out times.

A few things were unpleasant surprises - some seem to be the typical set up, some may have just been the result of an off week for George. The second bedroom when booking for 3 people is on a separate floor; it is not a suite. The sea view room did not have a sea view, though did have a lovely garden view. None of the doors were locked, and we did not have the ability to lock our rooms. The rooms were dirty, as were some kitchen items. There was mold on the bedroom curtains and in the shower, the couch/sofa bed was covered in (pet?) hair, and the sheets and blankets stained and mildewy. The breakfast was minimalist - cold cereals, instant oatmeal, instant coffee, tea, and toast. On our last morning, there was a random person sleeping on the couch in the shared living room area, which adjoins the kitchen where we were preparing breakfast.

Liked the atmosphere and beauty of the place. Also the space of the room and recreation area. And the view.

Had trouble with paying, but that was because we had to cancel our second night in order to catch the ferry to the South Island.

Great location, comfortable and lots of space

La chambre est très grande ainsi que la salle de bain. Petit déjeuner correct

Rien

Beautiful location set in mature natural flora and fauna. Clean and comfortable room, plenty of space to move around in shared kitchen area. Excellent facilities for making breakfast and drinks. George is a great host.

Nothing. All was as we expected.

Georges BnB is surrounded by nature with great views of Mt Egmont from the upstairs room.

It is remote but the road heading to Georges BnB offers fantastic angles of Mr of Egmont.

Great location at the foot of Mt Taranaki. Excellent room on first floor. Host was very helpful.

No tea making facilities in room. However, eberything available in the kitchen downstairs.

タラナキの展望

シャワーとトイレが共同、

De locatie, vriendelijke gastheer

Eine Unterkunft mitten in der Natur gelegen. Die Zimmer schön und liebevoll eingerichtet.Georg ist unwahrscheinlich freundlich und der Aufenthalt bei ihm war einfach schön!! Ich komme bestimmt wieder und gerne länger als eine Nacht.

The location was idyllic. The accommodation was lovely. Exceeded expectations. George was a great host.

Unfortunately, we had no hot water so a cold bath or shower was out of the question. But we would still highly recommend

the space and the freedom in the house

house was cold in the morning

Die Lage der Unterkunft ist super, direkt an den nördlichen Wanderwegen zum Mt. Taranaki und auch das Umfeld mit großem Garten und vielen Pflanzen. Auch das Haus selbst mit seinen Außenterrassen und der große Gemeinschaftsraum sind eigentlich sehr schön.

Die bisherigen überwiegenden positiven Bewertungen sind unverständlich, wir haben hier was ganz anderes erlebt. Unser Zimmer war nicht abschließbar, also alles auf Vertrauen setzend, die Küche war unsauber und renovierungsbedürftig. Frühstück musste man sich selbst machen, aus allem, was man im Kühlschrank finden konnte. Teilweise war das Toastbrot schimmelig. Die Auswahl an Marmeladen war riesig, wie alt die offenen Gläser aber waren, konnte nicht festgestellt werden. George haben wir nur kurz angebunden erlebt. Die Einweisung war kurz und knapp, am zweiten Tag gab es mal ein Lächeln, als wir uns ebenfalls kurz in der Küche trafen. Eigentlich ist das beworbene B&B eher eine bessere Jugendherberge, mit dem Vorteil ein eigenes Bad (wenn auch separat) zu haben. Wenn George etwas freundlicher aufgetreten wäre, hätten wir uns wohler gefühlt.

Excelentes instalaciones, acogedor, tranquilo.

Piękna lokalizacja. Cały parter wraz z kuchnią dostępny dla gości. Bardzo sympatyczny właściciel.

Terrific location, beautiful setting with view of Mt. Taranaki and easy access to a walking path in virgin forest, comfortable and very clean accommodation, friendly helpful host.

I would have appreciated more choices for breakfast besides cold cereal and store bread, or at least granola.

Perfect setting

Was somewhat surprised to have the owners bedroom directly opposite our bedroom & the property having another couple staying also!

Superbe maison, dans un endroit magnifique. Vue sur le volcan depuis la fenêtre. A 20min de New Plymouth

The location near the tarns trail is awesome. I was at the house around 1pm, but I could not check in. But the owner sent me a message I could check in at around 1.30pm so I was very happy because straight from check in I did the trail. After I finished it felt like a relief to stay this close to the start so I could get a shower, eat and sleep.

It is a retreat near the mountains with lots of trees. So also lots of blowflies and other kinds of flying insects. Luckily he had black flag spray. But if he puts some window nets the spray will not be used. So the birds can eat them instead of killing them for good sleep.

If you love nature, you will love this place. George is super helpful as well. To location is very handy for hiking

Superschöne und idyllische Lage mit Blick aufs Meer. Sehr netter Gastgeber, den wir leider nur kurz gesehen haben, da er selbst verreist ist. Durch die gemeinsame Nutzung von Küche , Wohnbereich und Terrasse mit anderen Gästen kommt man mit netten Menschen in Kontakt. Wir hatten sehr gute Gespräche und haben dies sehr genossen. Man muss lediglich wissen, dass die Unterkunft sehr abgelegen ist und man von New Plymouth ca. 15-20 Minuten mit dem Auto fährt. Zum Frühstück gibt´s (auch) Eier von George´s Hühnern.

Die Zimmer/Einrichtung sind etwas in die Jahre gekommen und könnten ein bisschen modernisiert werden.

LA LOCALISATION

l'absence de chauffage dans les pièces de vie et la chambre (13 à 14°C). Il manquait une chambre contrairement au descriptif et le canapé dans l'unique chambre était non équipé en drap et couvertures.

Großes Haus in traumhafter Lage mit tollem Ausblick. Netter Gastgeber. Billardtisch im Wohnbereich.

Wir hatten alle 3 Schlafzimmer gebucht, damit wir das ganze Haus für uns nutzen konnten. Uns war nicht klar, dass der Hauseigentümer im gleichen Haus wohnt und ein Badezimmer mit benutzt. Die Schränke, in den Schlafzimmern und besonders in der Küche waren sehr schmutzig.

The location, the views, the rambling old house, the gardens

The weather 🤣.

Beautiful setting Stunning views, on a great day Mt Taranaki is right there The amenities are fab We loved the quiet This BnB was recommended to me

It's about 12ks out which we loved Not for everything First time I'd stayed at an BnB It's not what I expected

The view

Not as private as we thought it might it might have been

Loved the stunning veiws and the stunning house George was very friendly and helpful

Unfortunately the couch folded out to a bed had a hard bar so kids had uncomfortable sleep but otherwise everything was amazing

There are no much option for the breakfast but overall its okay.

The room was spacious and had potential for a comfortable stay. However, it seemed like the beddings may not have been changed, only the pillow covers, which was a bit disappointing. There was also a noticeable smell of mold in the bedroom. The second room upstairs didn’t have a lock, which affected privacy. Additionally, the listing mentioned a sea view, but we didn’t have that during our stay. With a few improvements, this place could offer a much better experience.

plus que suffisant, tout en quantité et qualité

Great location, Mountain View and sea view. Beautiful garden and great house

Haben die Unterkunft gut gefunden, da eine Hinweistafel an der Strasse stand. Die Lage ist wunderschön, mit Blick auf New Plymouth und den Vulkan. Parkplatz direkt vor dem Haus. Wurden von George empfangen und begrüsst. Danach gabs ein Rundgang durch das Haus. War dann erstaunt, als es hiess, Frühstück könnt ihr dann selber machen. Andere Länder andere Sitten dachte ich. Mit George haben wir uns nicht unterhalten, weil wir früh schlafen gingen.

Als wir das Zimmer betraten, kam uns ein modriger, schimmliger Kellergeruch entgegen. So hatte ich es mir nicht vorgestellt. Auch das private Badezimmer befand sich ausserhalb unseres Zimmer. Fanden auch keine Ablagefläche für den Koffer. Beim Nachttische fanden wir keine Steckdosen. Leider verdunkeln die Vorhänge gar nicht. Bereits um 05:00 Uhr wird es wieder hell im Zimmer. Auch ich kann die vielen guten Bewertungen nicht verstehen.

Very comfortable stay in this well located B&B with close access to hiking routes and beautiful view of Mt. Taranaki from my bedroom window. The host was very friendly and accommodating. Beautiful place to stay.

The setting and views are phenomenal

The location and size of the room.

It was dirty, with lots of insects in the kitchen. I found hairs on my bed sheets. The manager, who is living on site, was probably drunk one of the two nights listening to the tv or music loud. My mother asked him to reduce the volume. He did it but after maybe one hour, he woke up my mother while she was sleeping, to offer her to move in a other room so that he can go on with the sound certainly. She didn't feel secured after that, considering the room's door had no key. Apart from that, walking in the property I discovered that the garbage are burnt behind the house, which is next to the protected land, instead of being sent to the land fill or recycling. Disappointing.

Perfect location for Reflective Tarn (Mirror lake). Lovely house. We had one room with own bathroom. There is well equipped kitchen and nice breakfast included.

Kostenlose Stornierung

Katze im Haus war nicht angegeben (wegen Allergie war Aufenthalt nicht möglich) Flecken auf der Bettwäsche Alles sah schmuddelig aus

Great views and very comfortable. Loved the rainforest and surrounds. No complaints and would easily come back again to stay longer

Nothing other than a bit further out of town than I would normally book

Excellant location. Nice and peaceful.

Beautiful place. Very well equipped kitchen. Indoor and outdoor dining areas. Comfortable room. Good shower. George was friendly and helpful.

Jolie maison, spacieuse avec un billard dans le salon. Le propriétaire nous a proposé une deuxième chambre située en haut pour les enfants. Quand à nous nous étions dans une grande chambre en bas avec une salle de bain privative.

Bien que très discret nous étions surpris de la présence du propriétaire dans la maison. De plus, il peut y avoir d'autres voyageurs du coup la salle de bain pour les chambres du haut, la cuisine et le salon sont à partager. La maison propre au premier coup d'œil nécessiterait un brin de ménage.

Georges ist ein toller Gastgeber, er hält sich zurück, ist aber offen für gute Gespräche. Das B&B liegt in den Bergen und man schaut auf New Plymouth. Die Betten sind super. Sehr emofehlenswert.

Location and George is super friendly and helpful

We had a wonderful stay at this booking. The host was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Breakfast was delicious, and we especially enjoyed the fresh eggs from his chickens. The location was perfect—very close to the hike we wanted to do—which made our trip even more convenient and enjoyable. The host also gave us an excellent dinner recommendation that turned out to be exactly what we were looking for. The place itself was spacious, comfortable, and filled with lovely windows offering beautiful views. For the quality and experience, the price was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this booking to anyone visiting the area.

Nothing!

+ großes und sehr schönes Haus mit riesiger Terrasse mit tollem Ausblick + freundlicher Gastgeber + gute Ausgangslage für Wanderungen am Taranaki

La vue est incroyable, de jour comme de nuit

Great location

Sehr schönes Zimmer mit Blick ins Grüne. Sehr geräumiger Gemeinschaftsbereich mit Küche, Essbereich, Billard, Fernseher, Terrasse, ... Für Fußwanderer zum Mt. Taranaki sicher eine optimale Unterkunft - für andere auch.
