My daughter and I stayed with a 2year old. The premises were spotless and tastefully decorated. It's a great setup. Although the sleeping space was small, the shared lounge and kitchen were spacious with plenty of appliances, cutlery, pots, plates etc. The laundry operates on $1 and $2 coins. There are a few toilets and showers, some with hairdriers. There are books, games and DVDs available for loan. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

A fine choice. Compact bedrooms and spacious common lounge, decks and kitchen, all well-appointed and clean as. Seagulls offers an efficient automated registration & checkin system, and keyless coded access, besides amiable human proprietors and staff, all readily approachable.

Amazing place to stay. I’ve stayed quite a few times in the past and is absolutely wonderful.
The service is amazing and fast contact if anything was wrong. Great location super handy to buses and about a 15 minute walk to the Main Street of the Mount. Rooms are super cozy with comfortable beds and facilities are great. Prices are great
Overall best place to stay at the mount by far I’ve stayed at a couple of others but my favourite will always be seagulls guesthouse 😊😊

Great location, cheapest accommation in the mount. Manager is friendly. Clean and tidy. No bed bugs! It is basic accommation where you just have a small room and the facilities are shared. Although you can upgrade to a room with a toilet and shower. I like the communal lounge and kitchen as it gives you opportunity to socialize with other guests. I will stay here again. Cheers!

Stayed there over the past ANZAC weekend with my partner. Decent comfortable place at a great rate, has a decent living room area aswell as a good equipped kitchen, the stove could need a bit of attention as the oven doesn’t really heat that well. Otherwise totally fine for cooking a quick meal on a trip. It’s nearby to Busroutes and the City Centre, you do hear occasionally a train honking at night and / or a boat, but not a big deal really as everything else is quiet, the place was very clean and kept tidy. The host is very friendly Kiwiguy aswell and we had a good yarn with information about the area. There is also a few carparks at the premises.
Was a great stay.
Cheers

Stayed here for a week end of 2021, absolutely loved it. Very peaceful, very calm environment and great facilities. Large open shared kitchen with everything you'd need to make meals. Large shared lounge room and dining area. Lots of outdoor seating. Stones throw from The Mount. Highly recommended.

Amazing stay! Very clean, great shared spaces, super organised and lovely friendly staff. We stayed in the Family Room with our 2 boys and the air con at the end of a hot day at the beach was fantastic! Will definitely be staying again.

Clean, well organized, equipped kitchen, comfy beds, cosy lounge, shelfs with books and board games, etc.
It's not far from the beach and the mount.

Nice place, plenty of space around the place AND extremely clean. Good pricing. Some rooms have their own toilet and bathroom but the others have access to shared bathrooms and toilets. No TV in either roon we got but again, the price for the rooms is reflected in that. Would highly recommend for anyone to use this place. I'll definitely be coming back at another time!

One of the cleanest places I’ve stayed! Lovey friendly staff and fantastic showers and comfortable beds, very warm and cosy on all levels and did I mention it was extremely clean?! Not the most ‘instagramable’ place, but hands down the best backpackers I’ve stayed in, thanks Seagulls!

Really nice and clean, wifi kept cutting out which was a disappointment and the tiny room for 3 of us was ok but in the heat it was way to muggy

Very lovely owners, the rooms were please t and suited our needs perfectly. Only thing I would have to say is aircon in the rooms would be nice, but it was exceptionally hot during my stay here so that probably didn't help! Staff offered me a map of the area upon arrival and gave a tour of the premises. Nice walk to the beach, coffee and other cafes within a couple hundred metres. Great place to stay

Will definitely stay hear again on my next visit.
Thanks Seagulls Guest House, for a nice stay.

Awesome place to stay. Paul was super helpful and friendly. The place was immaculate with a nice big kitchen. Mostly private rooms, but they do have one small dorm room if you're lucky and it's not already booked up. One of my fave places I've stayed in NZ.

Nice guest house in Mt Maunganui. Very good and helpful hosts. The room sizes are okay. Very clean rooms, toilets and linens. Also it is quite and good for families. That may be one off but the shower was giving hot and sometimes passing cold water during my shower.
Overall experience is very good.

Very nice place to stay. Ideal for sports teams. Across the road from a big park which was ideal. Plenty of parking on the street so long as there wasn't an event on. The wi-fi worked very well. Good kitchen facilities. Definitely recommend it to you if you are looking for affordable accommodation in Tauranga.
