I really enjoyed my stay in the Bell Lodge. 7 weeks full of fun and hanging around with the other guests. There was a great cooking equipment, a nice television room and a large outside area. Also the rooms and bathrooms were fine. What I didn't like was the fact everyone was punished for some peoples mistakes.
All in all I would recommend.Mt Maunganui Bay of PlentyTill

Stayed over 3 months and had a great time! One of the most special hostels I've stayed. Great team, nice environment and fantastic people!!

I hope you will enjoy your stay.
Kindly Regards.

Hello Rick and Sheree,
I would like to thank you both for your wonderful hospitality whilst we stayed at your Lodge during the Kapa Haka competitions. All of the Nannies were so pleased and thrilled with our accommodation and the warm and friendly reception you both gave to us.
I especially wanted to write and thank you Rick for running the 2 Nannies over to Putaruru as you did, that was certainly going out of your way and we have all talked about that and marveled at how you went that extra mile so to speak. We all had a marvelous time an unforgettable holiday. If there is anything I can do for you at this end, please do not hesitate to let me know and I can send whatever it is over to you.
I hope we will see you both again in the very near future, so on behalf of us all.
Ka kite ano and Arohanui.

Mount Maunganui Bay of PlentyHi, Sheree and Rick. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality. I never forget which I had experience here. Especially, you are the first people who remember my correct first name "Yoichiro". I was glad about it. Bell Lodge is very comfortable. Everyone is good people. So, I miss leaving here. But, we are going to go to another place, because of ourself. I never say "Goodbye". I wish I'd like to see you again. So, I say "See You soon".
Thank you

Mount Maunganui Bay of PlentyHi! Sheree and Rick
Thank you for everything
I have stayed at a lot of Backpacker. I think "Bell Lodge" is my best place because:
Sheree .... You talked about a lot of thing to me. Even if you were working you sat down to talk to us. I was glad about it.
Rick .... When we arrived You beamed a cheerful welcome. You also smiled to us since. So we could spend at rest at here.
So I give a picture to you with our wish and thanks
Thank you, See You.
