Lovely to be so close to the coastal walkway. The garden was wonderful for our dog - very secure with space to room. We enjoyed using the woodburner with really dry wood.

Beautifully decorated, exceptionally clean. The owners were very easy to communicate with, accommodating our late check out. They very thoughtfully lit the fire for us when we were arriving late. Would highly recommend.

Ekhaya was in a great location, just a few minutes, walk to the beach and just under an hour drive to Mount Taranaki. The beds were comfortable, everything was clean, there was plenty of firewood for those cold nights and a pool table in the garage! I appreciated that the yard was fully fenced for my dogs. It also has lovely landscaping. One entrance to the coastal walkway is just across the street as well. I would definitely stay here again. Perhaps I’ll come back in the summer.

New Plymouth holiday spot

We found the hostess lovely and the cottage pleasant to stay in. Beautiful garden and great that our dog was welcome too. Comfortable sized cottage feel but we found the couches a bit hard and on quite a busy road. But great to be so close to the seafront.
