Great place to stay just out of new plymouth, kids loved the grounds with the slide and the house was beautiful and cozy. Few little thing we needed help with and hosts were fast to answer and get sorted. Thanks for a wonderful stay :)

Hi Rachel! Thank you so much for your lovely review!
We’re thrilled to hear the kids loved the grounds (the slide is always a hit!) and that you found the house beautiful and cosy. It’s also great to know our team could quickly assist with the few things you needed during your stay.
Thank you for choosing to stay with us — we’re so glad you had a wonderful time and would love to welcome you back again soon. - BBK Team
Love the place, very clean bedding and towels, as this is the first thing I look for in a place. Thank you for that. The perfect place to break away from ‘city life’. So quiet and peaceful. We love it
Lovely location
House is in need of a little TLC.
The impressive looking bathroom lacked any water pressure for the fancy shower head and it would have been good to have a floor squeegee to mop up the water.
Lounge furniture could do with an upgrade. The ripped couch didn't quite fit with the overall grandeur of the rest of the property.
Was great that we could take our dog along.
Host was friendly and curteous.

Beautiful country home on a lovely large section close enough to town but just far enough away to enjoy quiet rural living. Photos don't do this home justice, it truly is a very special place to stay. Greeted by a large open kitchen, dining and living area with a stunning large bathroom it was both clean and tidy and felt very homely. The Homestead was a real pleasure to stay at and would thoroughly recommend this home and it's host Joanne of Bach Break New Plymouth.

Great house, lovely and big. Well equipped kitchen, and beautiful garden. Older property but in good nick. Good value for a group all wanting a separate bedroom, or for a big familyThe 4th bedroom is in a separate building with no plumbing, just be aware. Also the main toilet had awful water pressure, 1 flush per couple of hours - ended up using buckets to help!

Fantastic ... perfect for 9 adults. Kitchen was great to prepare meals in ...very big island bench so many hands etc. Great outdoor area for games ... easy drive to New Plymouth and beyond. All in all a wonderful family Christmas holiday. Thanks
We booked the accomodation for my wedding, the property manager came over and chatted and explained there would be a tree taken down on the Saturday, I requested that the driveway remain free for guests to come and go throughout the day but had no problems with the diggers etc... the next morning was checkout and he came back with a hamper full of goodies to apologise for the tree removal... he was so lovely and the gift was so kind. as I was the bride I was slightly hungover so I hadn't read the predeparture email unfortunately so I know I didn't clean the house as I should've... so that was totally my bad, I apologise for that. But thankyou so so much for your hospitality and kindness, made my wedding day that much more special, thankyou so much :)

Cosy, warm and welcoming place for our family to stay. Kitchen was lovely to cook in, so much well thought out decor, very cosy. Kids and adults all enjoyed the space. Great escape from busy life.
We had a great time exploring Mt Taranaki with our kids and this house made the perfect place to stay. A lovely rural setting without being too far from Mt Taranaki and New Plymouth. The house itself is lovely and well equipped to cook dinner or relax with a glass of wine. The hosts were very welcoming, we would definitely recommend!
Beautiful home on a lovely rural section. Big house for our group of Squash ladies to stay. Not far from town in a rural setting. Has everything you need
While we had a fun stay in this lovely old farm homestead, we were constantly having to contact the agent and/or owner in order to get help with the tv, heater in kitchen, finding a corkscrew. Unfortunately only the master bedroom has full curtains and two bedside lamps—the other two bedrooms only have sheers, one bedside lamp room 2, none in room 3. Water pressure in the large bathroom is very poor. Lots of cobwebs in the house. The furniture in the lounge/tv room is very uncomfortable. We nevertheless made the most of our time in the house (the kitchen is superb!) and really appreciated that we could have our dogs with us, and there was plenty of space on the property for them to sniff around and play. The owner, Dave, who lives on the property is a very friendly chap who was most helpful in sorting out a few issues we had. Overall we enjoyed our stay!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely house and setting. We had a problem getting into the outside chalet due to the lock but the house managers were quickly onsite to resolve the issue. The house is very spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Would definitely stay again.
