About this property

Manukorihi Sweet Guesthouse

Tucked away from the road is a private 1 bedroom studio in sunny Waitara.
With off-street parking, a full kitchen and washing machine, it is a home base for travellers. Set in a small garden with a sunny patio to make the most of fine weather. A very comfy queen bed and huge single bed sized sofa make this a cozy place to relax.
Good access to Mt Taranaki and hiking trails. New Plymouth city is 15 minutes away for events, dining and entertainment.

About the host

Hosted by Davina

Host profile image
As a Taranaki local I love this out-of-the-way part of our beautiful country. The arts are amazing here which inspire me as a designer. I remember when the coffee was instant and the beer was Taranaki Bitter. Now our city leads the world in coffee roasting, craft beers and gin distilling.
I love hiking & skiing on Mount Taranaki; the bush, oceans and wild beaches. The galleries and the vibe. The world hasn't fully discovered it yet and I like it that way.

Why they chose this property

The small township of Waitara is often 3-4 degrees warmer than New Plymouth and is a gardener's paradise. The beaches and river mouth are wonderful for a dip in summer. The mountain is not far away for hiking or skiing. Fishing, rowing and golf are very popular.

What makes this property unique

There is such a calm feeling when entering this place, it's like time almost stops. The native birds love living here and sing their hearts out all day long.
