About Gayle Avery
Well Greg and I both grew up in New Plymouth and having 4 adult children -life has been pretty busy. Now we are approaching retirement and looking forward to doing some adventure of our own. We have just returned from a month travelling through China ending the Transiberian Railway in Moscow & St Petersburg. A wonderful trip! Back now to finish some landscaping around the house we built using Hemp with electro magnetic shielding. Got a bit of flack for that one but am enjoying the sleep and relaxation effect.
Gayle Avery purchased this Cottage in 2015
Why Gayle Avery chose Brixton
We knew this property was the one as soon as we saw it just perfect with the mountain views and the river boundary. We love the hills and the valleys and have planted lots of fruit trees and vegetable beds which we share with friends family and guests.
What makes this Cottage unique
Close to everything but far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet of country living organically.

Notes
- Our property is a breath of fresh air in a busy lifestyle. Come and sit back and relax no rush no bother. Take a wander down the farm and sit by the river-take a picnic lunch & a book say 'hi' to the horses and the cows on the way down. Children love it here especially Ricky our dog who will play fetch all day long!

Lovely, peaceful retreat.
Peaceful, relaxing & clean unit. We loved the location, close to amenities, New Plymouth and Taranaki activities. We really enjoyed feeling the calm of the country. The animals were a treat. Ricky was playful, as well as the 2 kitties. Fresh eggs and milk were a nice surprise. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Great quiet property
Nice and easy to find. Very quite and clean. Nice fresh milk when we arrived. Also its near the airport but you never hear any noise from planes etc.
Very clean and pleasant bach.
We enjoyed the comfort and cleanliness of this place. Everything was there, including fresh eggs and milk for breakfast. Gayle was very accommodating and she quickly sent back some items that I had left at their place.
Fabulous hosts and accommodation
We had an absolutely wonderful time, even though the weather did anything but cooperate. Still, the accommodation was beautiful, extremely comfortable, and very well stocked, and we were treated very well by Greg. We would highly recommend this as a place to stay. We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay! Thank you so much.
Perfect location and every amenity
The location is superb. It is the kind of place that is a holiday in itself. It is far enough away to provide a peaceful haven but close enough to be able to access what you need.
The property itself is thoughtfully stocked with everything a visitor needs to make it a home from home.
Wherever I stay when travelling I am looking for a good nights sleep and I certainly had that. We were a little unlucky with the weather on our trip but having such a beautiful place to stay more than made up for that.
Location
We are located in the country but only a 10-15 min drive from New Plymouth City restaurants and bars, Len Lye Art Gallery, PukeAriki Museum & Library, shops , movie theatre, beautiful beaches & parks particularly Pukekura Park. I stock the cottages well with brochures displying local tourist attractions you may like to peruse and please ask if you would like assistance with anything at all as we have lived here most of our lives and love Taranaki to bits!
