About this property

Ensuite bathroom, Kitchen, TV and DVD player with Freeview. Walk out of the lounge onto a patio/deck overlooking and orchard of fruit trees listen to the numerous birds singing or the horses next door.
Linen and towels provided
off street parking in front of attached garage on unit however garage can not be used.
8 mins to the airport
8 mins to the valley shopping centre
9 mins to the beach
5 mins to bell block shops and the warehouse
15 mins to Pukekura Park

Guest have full access to the unit (not attached garage) and garden/orchard area

Other things to note

Unit is accessed via our main driveway and as we have 3 young children and a dog, the gate over the driveway is automatic, a code will be given to you prior to arrival and will be closed at all times for safety reasons.
Must be ok with Dogs - our dog (a small spoodle) may occasionally wander down to the unit. He will sometimes bark at strangers but means no harm but we will try to keep him away for your stay.
No parties or gatherings of any kind

Wifi - as we are rural the wifi can be patchy and sometimes the signal can drop out. The signal comes from the main house so is weak in the unit. It can be accessed in the main lounge area at the front door and outside the unit but normally can not be accessed in the bedroom. If you rely on wifi please be aware of this.

We are open to negotiate the stay of non shedding pets depending on circumstances. There will be an extra $35 fee added on to the cleaning fee due to using extra products/cleaning after a pet has been in the unit. However any pets are to be prior approved with us BEFORE booking.

Peaceful rural retreat
Lovely rural accommodation, everything you need for a short or long stay, very spacious rooms. A secure, peaceful, and quiet location, a short drive from the beach or main centre. Handy to the Bell Block end of the costal walway. Enjoyed the evening visits from the chickens. Would recommend and look forward to staying again.

Quiet stay and close to New Plymouth
Google location worked well. Then it was very easy to get to where we wanted. Explore New Plymouth, bike the Coastal walkway and explore the region. Very peaceful, great for a recovery weekend. The patchy wifi and random mobile reception made a quick way to reduce technology! Always a bonus.

Paraite Road
We loved this property - comfortable, spacious and in good location if you want to be close to Bell Block which was the case with us. The only reason we don't give it five stars was because there was no stores such as salt, pepper, sugar or oil etc there. And importantly no milk - when we arrived we wanted a cup of tea but had to immediately drive about 5 k to the nearest diary. I think given it is a long drive away from stores a few minimal supplies would be useful.

We were lucky to find our currently property which has a one bedroom unit for guests to enjoy.
