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.

Host profile image
We’re a relaxed family of three living life with heart and humor. Our 7-year-old son is full of energy & absolutely loves sports—whether he's kicking a ball, racing around, or inventing his own games. We’re non-smokers and non-drinkers, and we find joy in the simple things: fresh air, nature walks, and sharing a good laugh together. Whether it’s exploring the outdoors or cozying up for a silly movie night, we create loving moments for our family.
