The perfect stay

We had a fantastic stay at Gorges House! The flat is way more bigger then we expected and there is all threre what you need. We had quiet a lot of fun playing Billard against George and tested the gigantic surround sound system. If you come to Mount Taranaki for hiking you have to come here ! Its close to the Campus Lake View hike and only 17min away from New Plymouth.

If you want to spend two or more days exploring Egmont Park, it's hard to imagine a better place to

Very good location close to the main trail. Beautiful view of Mt. Taranaki from the window. Quiet vicinity. A nice, spacious and open living room conducive to conversation between guests. Eggs for breakfast (those who have eaten a typical breakfast in New Zealand know that this is not standard)! Very friendly owner. For a small fee, he will be happy to take you anywhere (a big advantage considering the area). Thanks to Goerge's driving style, driving with him is also not boring :)

The rooms could use a little refreshing, but it's not bothersome in any way because you don't spend much time there anyway (beautiful surroundings and a bright, transparent living room with a pool table). It can be cold (single-glazed windows).

Remote location made for a peaceful stay. Had a good breakfast looking out at beautiful view.

The tranquility of being out of the city. The house is beautiful and if it wasn’t cloudy the view down to the sea would have been amazing. It was still pretty amazing regardless.

There was a family staying and their little one was quite noisy. Not his fault though, he’s a happy toddler and no real biggie. Once he was in bed it was dead quiet. Had a great sleep. Very happy with breakfast that was made available.

Idyllische Lage

Das BnB hat eine sehr gute Lage. Die Gastgeber George und Linde sind sehr freundlich. Für uns gab es gleich eine Führung im angrenzenden "Dschungel".

Wünschenswert wäre etwas mehr Sauberkeit im Küchenbereich und ein paar mehr Sitzgelegenheiten auf der großzügigen Terrasse.

Wonderful relaxing and beautiful

Most beautiful views. Tranquility, just stunning. The suite was big and comfortable. Amenities were provided which was an extra bonus. George is an amazing host. Was a great experience

Rooms were a little hot. Could possibly provide air conditioning or strong fans. Fly screens to the room windows would help a lot as well.

Lovely place for a relaxing getaway

The room was very comfortable and cosy, and the kitchen and bathroom were both clean and tidy. The BnB is in beautiful surroundings (even in the rain!). George was brilliant, accomodating us even when we finished our tramp and turned up several hours earlier than anticipated.

The information for the BnB needs to be updated as there is no longer the offer of a cooked breakfast (although toast/cereal etc are on offer).

Peaceful haven.

George was so welcoming into his home. It was lovely having some breakfast items to prepare for ourselves and the use of the kitchen facilities to make our own meals. The main bedroom downstairs had a superb ensuite and large luggage storage area/walk in wardrobe as well as a huge TV in a sitting area. The views down to the sea were fabulous and at the back up to Mount Taranaki - we were lucky to see the summit every day of the 3 we were there. The location is so peaceful. Great value for money too.

Nothing.

Superb

The room and bathroom were huge. There was unlimited access to the living areas including the kitchen and the fire was great. There was also a pool table. It was a lovely clean tidy house. The flexibility of when I could come and go and use the kitchen.

I was a bit surprised there wasn't a hot breakfast but everything else made up for that. Given the location, the wind can get pretty strong and loud but once you get a few kilometres down the road it's okay, so it's good to know otherwise you may be reluctant to go out.

Wow.... Just wow.... A most comfortable and cosy home to stay in. Such beautiful views from the main living areas. George was most welcoming and his home is full of all the facilities you could need. Such comfy beds, large shared kitchen, smart clean bathroom and lovely sofa area plus pool table. A short stroll to the start of one of the Taranaki tracks too. Thank you for renting out your home. NJAP.

Lovely home surrounded by bush - the host and other guests share the house with you.

We really enjoyed honing our skills on the pool table, especially as the weather was stormy and wet, making outdoor activities a bit difficult. We liked being able to use the full kitchen to cook dinner. Our bedroom was cosy and warm, and the bush views from the house were gorgeous.

The breakfast supplies are very basic and unappetizing to look at, and we were very glad that we had brought our own fresh bread, milk and other breakfast goods.

The perfect place to stay for a Mt Taranaki adventure - thank you George!

George’s BnB was everything we could have hoped for - an easy stroll from the end of the Pouakai Crossing, an outstanding host in George, wonderful company from our fellow guests, the cosiest lodge with all facilities we needed and a lovely brekky each morning to make things easy!

Very good

A large comfortable house that comes with a good sized shared kitchen with everything you need (booking.com mentioned the suite I booked had it's own kettle and a microwave but I was a bit surprised to find that wasn't correct - despite that the place was really good). Good place to do hikes and George even offered to give us a lift after our walk if necessary. Guests here have a lot of freedom to feel like you are home. It was nice being able to chat to other guests too.

Nothing to mention

Most enjoyable

Good breakfast selection (continental ) Loverly setting in Native Bush with stream.

A bit far out of town on windy road which is a bit trickey at night when you are not familier with it. Booked 2 bedrooms for 2 nights but George had double booked so 3 of us shared bedroom 2nd night. Was given a discount but sharing not what we preferred.

Pleasant

Beautiful location with a nice view of the mountain. Quiet, safe and surrounded by nature. Easy to get there and free, covered parking available.

The kitchen could have been cleaner, especially the microwave. There were a few dirty spots in our bedroom as well.

Cheap but not cheerful.

The only saving grace was that the bed was comfortable and the sheets appeared to be clean. Oh, and the nice view.

George needs to charge more so he can save some money to buy a vacuum cleaner and some cleaning products. I also hope that his public liability insurance is up to date from the pavers outside the steps that threaten to tip you up to the smoke alarm that is disabled outside the room to no privacy lock on the room door, it could be a disaster waiting to happen. The room hadn't been vacuumed, the bathroom had tags from someone else's clothes and other bits on the floor. We didn't try the shower or have breakfast we just wanted to leave. It is such a shame as it's in a nice location and the house could be so delightful. Oh, and the common areas of the house hadn't been vacuumed either.

Quiet with mountain view

The house was really nice. The view from our room on the Taranaki. Our private bathroom next to the room. The house looks great and spacious with a nice patio area.

The breakfast was very basic. We could have used some fruits and better bread. A little far from everything

We liked that, the house was remote, rural surrounded by trees etc but they had great views. We liked the way the house was presented, our bedroom and ensuite was modern and comfortable. We could freely use the kitchen and lounge. ..breakfast was self serve, everything was provided ....We enjoyed a very comfortable stay here...
