Taranaki slice of heaven!

My stay at Lydford Place was absolutely fantastic. The space was spotlessly clean and warm, making it instantly comfortable. The hosts were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the area, offering great local tips. They were also very accommodating when I had to make changes due to the weather. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and well-cared-for place to stay.

A Cleverly Designed and Very Comfortable Home

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. The home we rented was situated in a quiet cul-de-sac and we were delighted with all the home comforts. We would recommend this for any couple.

A great find

The place was neat, tidy, and very comfortable with the rooms being a good size and well appointed. The host were a delight and very helpful. The location was right opposite Pukekura park and not too far from town.I'd recommend without a doubt.

2 nights in New Plymouth

First time staying in New Plymouth as a couple and were apprehensive about staying in a place that wasn’t a motel. Couldn’t have been more impressed. Excellent communication, friendliness and key handover. Comfortable bed, outdoor bath and even a hammock! Felt like our own private nest with everything we needed. Recommend to anyone staying a few nights in New Plymouth :-)Monica
