“The townhouse is very clean, neat and comfortable. It also had everything in it that you would expect to find in a home. After a very short time after coming back to the townhouse after a day out it felt like coming home. We found the location was a real plus as it is not far from anything, and about an hour car trip at the most to interesting destinations. The exchanger Max and Jean made us feel very welcome giving us lots of information about the attractions. The townhouse is over three levels so that may be a problem for people that can\'t manage stairs, but luckily for us they were no problem. Also at the moment there are builders doing work to two other townhouses so there was a bit of noise in the dayytime between 9 and 5, Monday to Friday, which also didn\'t bother us at all as we were out most days and weekends and nights were quiet. Thank you Jean and Max, we had a great time.”

Jean's reviews
As a host (3)“We have just returned from a week in beautiful Tauranga. Our exchange home was very comfortable and well situated. Hosts Jean and Max went out of their way to ensure that we were able to make the most of this interesting corner of NZ.”
“We just finished one week fantastic stay in Mount Maunganui. We loved the white sand beach just across the road, walk in the top and around the mount, visit Rotorua (Maori village and spectacular thermal area) and enjoy the shopping mall near the home (not the same shops in France!) The home was perfect for our family because it has all the amenities we needed. And especially we appreciated a lot Jean and Max hospitality. We would like to express our satisfaction”
