Great quiet cottage

We spent a week at the cottage. It's outside of town about 10 or 15 minutes. Lovely rural road but close enough to pop into New Plymouth quickly. Very comfortable and clean, good wi-fi, and even Netflix on the TV. I really loved the sunroom and sat out there every morning. A very relaxing week for us.

He Kāinga Mahana

A home away from home. Clean, comfortable and true to online description and photos. Quiet, cozy and peaceful surrounded by greenery ensuring privacy.Lorraine and Glynn are excellent hosts demonstrating warm welcoming care through all communications and upon arrival. They were super considerate about communicating location, directions and key availability if for evening arrival. Ample off-road parking and generous consideration for our wee whānau and two vehicles.We were there for seven days and the kāinga was a sanctuary with ample cooking facilities, filtered water and kind gestures of tea, coffee, milo condiments and milk in the fridge. Highly recommended hosts and lovely accommodation. Definitely a kāinga we will book again upon returning to Taranaki. He mihi nui, He mihi mahana.

Spotlessly clean, quiet tranquil location, friendly helpful hosts.

Lovely tranquil location with short drive to the city. Cottage had everything you would need, except for a washing machine, but with a laundrymart just five minutes drive away it wasn't a problem. Hosts very friendly and helpful. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property.😊

Perfect out of town quiet location

We had a lovely stay at this gorgeous cottage. Only 5-10 mins out of town made this a lovely spot for a getaway! The property was warm, and had a well equipped kitchen for cooking needs. The host was easy and efficient to be in contact with and provided lots of brochures for activities to do. I highly recommend this property and host.

A wonderful 3 night stay, and was a perfect base to explore New Plymouth from - with the mix of peaceful countryside, whilst being close to the city. Lorraine went out of her way to accommodate us by putting up an extra single bed in the lounge. Thanks for a great stay!
