We had a lovely stay, and enjoyed the recommendations shared by the hosts. While the check in process was simple, directions into the cottage was a little confusing. Perhaps include a picture of the path leading up to the cottages? Sometimes weary travellers do better with visual cues, rather than written instructions.
Great stay close to the city clean and cosy and we had all amenities we required, would recommend this accommodation to others travelling to New Plymouth many thanks.Partridge Family from Perth
Great little place. Really well presented and cosy - perfect for chilling out after a busy day. George and Amber were really responsive and easy to deal with. The location is fantastic too - right on the Huatoki Walkway into town or the park. We were sorry when it was time to leave!
We enjoyed it so much, we came back for a second stay on our way to moving to the area :) Thanks so much for your patience and flexibility with our chaotic departure!

Hi Lucy,
We apologize for not providing the items you expected. We'll make sure to address this and do our best to have them available moving forward. Thank you for your feedback!
A beautiful character house, lovely decor, with very comfortable beds. French doors opening to deck and back yard, great for our dog. Near Pukekura Park stunning place we went every day with Jed our dog, loved it.
Check-in and check-out times weren't suitable, need more cutlery and crockery, especially with kids.
Location was perfect! close to city centre. Clean and tidy please. Thank you for the lovely experience. We had a great time and enjoyed our stay. Thank you!
What a great experience!
To walk in to a stylish, clean space with obvious owner attention to detail, what more could you ask for.
The extra touches of some light refreshments in the kitchen and pillow chocolates was a pleasant surprise.
We loved the continuity of the theme and felt it was not overdone.
The place felt comfortable, friendly and easy to live. We enjoyed the outside area for our wee friend "Lucie Bell the dog", and inside an luxury crate for sleeping.
Overall, a triumphant experience for us all and we would not hesitate to recommend or stay again.
Best regards
Brendon, Claire & Lucie bell
