The Lookout - Mount Maunganui

The location was quiet and an easy drive or bus to town. It was clean. The sheets and bed were high quality. The kitchen was full of proper dishes, pots and pans and dish soap. I used the laundry once which was convenient as I stayed 7 nights. I loved the deck for the view and for fresh air.

For $425/night US I expected better quality furniture, couch and more comfortable chairs. The furniture was cheap and low quality. It felt as if it was purchased at a drug store. There was 1 swivel chair and 4 bar stools and an old couch. The living room blankets were used, old and frayed. I recommend the owner buy some nice lap blankets and purchase a lounge chair. The name of the building was NO WHERE stated in the directions to arrive. The LOOKOUT is a cute name but I was looking for that ON the building front. Or you use the name BEYONDER. ( I realize now that is the name of the apartment management team) You need to state THE PROPER NAME ON THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING. IT SAYS MOUNT CENTRAL APARTMENTS ON THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING. It would help us new to your city to say that. I had to circle around 3 times then ask the hostel desk gal next door to help me find your building.

Heating was not as effective in providing warmth as it could have been. It was a large space to heat. Bed was harder than we are used to. Which made sleeping uncomfortable

Was absolutely amazing, everything in our room was amazing

The spa was cold

We came for a sports tournament at Blake Park, so the location both to the park was perfect but also not far to walk into the mount and back comfortably. Very quiet for an apartment complex.

There is no pantry for food if you’re bringing some of your own. The bed was a little uncomfortable but got used to it as the week went on.

Comfortable and clean

Hard to find, not called The Lookout, only sign was something apartments.

The property was the perfect location for our Blake Park tournament.

We hadn’t realised the whole complex wasn’t called The Lookout so when the Uber dropped us at the address we went around the block searching for the property.
