Hillbrook - a luxurious guesthouse

We had a fantastic stay at Hillbrook. The location is perfect for day trips exploring Mt Maunganui. The place was well appointed, comfortable, and had everything we needed.

Beautiful guest home, our team loved seeing the little sausages cute as

No complaints my end awesome

Wunderschöne Villa mit allem was man braucht! Sehr gemütlich!

The place was so modern,clean and tidy

Move the fridge and microwave into he kitchen 😄

Friendly staff, clear instructions, cozy homey accomodations with excellent cleanliness. My kids and I love it and surely we will be back

Easy check-in instructions, the property was well equipped and comfortable, thanks for having us!

Spotless and nicely decorated.

Not a very comfortable space for 4 people. The living area is too small, the only sofa sits 3 comfortably, and the breakfast bar only sits 3 comfortably. There isn’t a table to eat from. No toaster either. There were only 2 pillows per bed, and the pillows downstairs were cheap and flimsy. We couldn’t figure out how to use the electric kettle properly, needlessly complicated. Not enough towel rails in the bathroom. There was no private outdoor space as described.

The property was marketed as a two-bedroom villa, but the reality differed significantly from the listing description. Instead of two proper bedrooms, it featured only one enclosed bedroom and an open mezzanine level with a bed, which lacked privacy and functionality. Additionally, the unit did not qualify as a house or villa; it was a compact, poorly designed space with insufficient living area and no dedicated living room. The listing misrepresented both the layout and the property type entirely.

House design, interior, outdoor area. The host was friendly.

Lay-out of kitchen and living room. Though the weather was perfect so we just ate outside.

Lovely environment and neighbourhood, short drive to city centre, Mt Maunganui. Beautiful backyard plus two cute dogs.

Clean, modern, well equipped, affordable and central. I also loved the Greggs mochas provided, they’re my absolute fav so that was a lovely touch.

Great value for the property

Maybe a separate outdoor area, washing machine

We loved this property in Tauranga! The house was beautiful, modern, and still felt new. It was spotlessly clean, and the fresh scent, especially on the bedding, made the stay even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be coming back here when we visit Tauranga again!

Beautiful place, well equipped with everything good quality. Very clean and spacious bedrooms and kitchen.

Not enough living room space for 4 people. Not as private as we would have liked

Nothing

Apartment owner who also lives in the same property, asked us to park our car in another street which is away from the property while his own vehicles are nicely parked at the property. Later he realized that's not the right idea, but we had to convince that. Not a good start. Then, once entered to the property, all available tea, milk etc. had already expired nearly 12 months ago. It is very little house, no dining table. Upper floor bed is ok but low level of the ceiling is not clearly visible hence head hits always. Different color should be used for that ceiling. Following morning we found that there is no bread toaster available in the kitchen.

Miele equipment in the kitchen and a gift of freshly smoked fish from our host.

For us, although it was a smart and stylish apartment, the space was insufficient and rather awkward.

Place was beautiful. Host were lovely. Very clean and comfortable

Not alot of privacy. And more towels

It was a nice get away from home, and privacy was respected despite being connected to the main dwelling.

Nothing bad to say.

The room is clean and tidy. The basic facilities are complete and modern. The check-in process is simple, fast, and convenient. The living environment is quiet.

The height on both sides of the attic is relatively low, easy to bump into the head. Especially at the entrance to the attic, because the walls are all white, it's very easy to bump into.

Fantastic hosts, Villa exceptionally appointed, great location. Will stay again whenever we are in Tauranga.
