The View

This was our third time we stayed at this property so that probably says it all. Awesome views with interesting sailings in and out of the port. Spacious lounge/dining area with all the kitchen equipment you could need. The upstairs bedroom has particularly good views and a private bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. Situated in a quiet residential area with a 4Square near by.

Wonderful Views

Spacious, modern accommodation. Good quality linen and towels. The harbour and marina provide ever changing interesting views. The street is nice and quiet and feels safe. Catch and Co on the marina provide excellent fish and chips. We had a great time and the weather was perfect.

Treat yourself.

Wonderful property - true to photographs in a quiet area of NP. Well equipped kitchen and good quality linen and towels. Plenty of space and an amazing view especially from the upstairs deck. We enjoyed watching the ships and small boats on the harbour. Fish and chips from Catch &Co situated on the wharf is a must. A most enjoyable stay despite Cyclone Gabrielle.

Perfect Accomodation for our Group

This property is very modern and clean, it’s private and has an incredible kitchen with everything you could need. A wonderful, comfortable and open plan lounge area with an amazing view of the ocean. All the beds were very comfortable and location is in a quiet and safe neighbourhood. Can’t recommend this property enough. Thankyou

A Stunner!

We loved the beer fridge which we gladly restocked, the views outstanding, must bring the kayaks next time! Was lovely to see a bit of stock in the pantry too, although we did not use. I did drop a small bottle of baileys on the kitchen and found it difficult to find the appropriate mop cloths, but managed with what I found. We will certainly we staying at 8 roy Street again Thanks so much for making our stay in New Plymouth super!

Fantastic Property

We took 3 generations of our family for a weekend and this house was just perfect. The upstairs en-suite bedroom is awesome with the balcony looking out to sea. Wet sat and watched the boats coming in and out. The kitchen has just about everything you could possibly need if you're cooking in the house. Not a single train went passed so don't worry about that train track. The location is ideal, not too far to walk to the harbour cafes and just a short drive to the city or the park. We'll definitely be back.

Fantwstic location and lovley home

A well presented bach, beautiful upstairs master suite, and three more good bedrooms downstairs with bathroom. Huge lounge/kitchen living, with deck straight out to the ocean. Sorry not to see any trains! Quite bright lights from the port, and a few loud noises one night, but on the whole a great prooerty, as described.
