Womad weekend

We really enjoyed staying at this property. We were visiting New Plymouth for the Womad festival and it was lovely to stay in a quiet place, but within walking distance from the venue. The location is perfect and it has everything one could need for a relaxing getaway.

Warm and cosy

Very cosy, well keep property. Stayed in middle of winter - the house was warm, beds were snug, and the amenities were all in good working order. Very quiet at night for sleeping. Close enough to town for the purpose of our visit. Would definitely use again if venturing to New Plymouth. Hosts were fantastic to communicate with.

Wonderful!

No expense has been spared in the setup of this beautiful 2 bedroom space. You have absolutely everything you could need, and all of it is of the highest standard. We were so comfortable, warm, and content to just hang out at the property. It was away from the city nestled in suburbia so would need a vehicle to get around but it was only minutes from everything you'd need.

No Privacy

The venue was very clean, beds extremely comfortable. Beautiful linen towels complimentary lotions etc Immaculately kept and all kitchen requirements excellent Our main problem was there is absolutely no privacy at this property It is like being a goldfish in a goldfish bowl The washing machine sounds like it still has the travel transport bolts in it It basically walks it’s self off the shelf with five articles of clothing in it The windows need tinting or curtains so that everyone is not looking at you. At every window you have house above looking in. We didn’t read all the way through to see that there was a joining flat at the end of this accommodation. If wth is was stand alone in another area with a washing machine that worked this would have been the perfect private setting.

Outstanding!

Great location, close to centre but very quiet on dead end road with lots of birdsong. Very new property, warm and sunny, all new appliances and kitchen fully equipped with pots and pans, cutlery, crockery, and some basics already there, like spices and sugar and coffee/tea, oil etc. Awesome beds: firm with crisp sheets and beautifully decorated with lovely art and furniture. Extra blankets etc in wardrobe but did not need them even through it was cold outside. Bathroom contained all the necessities but extras like shampoo, body wash, room freshener etc were much appreciated. Ironing board and iron available. Easy to tidy up, washing machine, vacuum cleaner, rubbish bins already had folded spare bags ones in the bottom. Rubbish easily sorted in the large bins outside. Easy off street parking. We’ve had dozens of stays in New Plymouth, and this is one of the nicest places and most well organised place we’ve been in. Thank you, 10/10!
