Hideaway Off Heta is in a very quiet location with lovely surroundings. Judy & Dennis welcomed us into their home and gave us insights into what to see & do. The rooms were warm & spacious with a lovely homey feel. Lots of delicious options for breakfast.

Absolutely phenomenal stay!

Judy and Dennis are fantastic hosts. Communication and check in was an absolute breeze. Their house is impeccably clean (seriously Judy how do you do it?!) and comfortable. We really appreciated the amenities such as shampoo, tea, and delicious fresh fruit. The location is fantastic as well as it’s close to Egmont National Park, New Plymouth, and Surf Hwy 45. Would stay here again and again.

New Plymouth stay

My partner and I spent 3 nights with Judy and Dennis who were very charming, caring and friendly hosts. They quickly made us feel welcome and at home. The accommodation was warm and cosy. The beds were very comfortable so we both slept well. All in all, we loved the location because of its proximity to the city centre and It contributed to a very memorable stay in New Plymouth. We highly recommend our stay.

Gorgeous room!

Judy was abdolutely lovely welcoming us into her beautiful house. Birdsong in the morning that we would have caught more of if it wasn’t for the heavenly bed we did not leave until absolutely nescessary in the morning. The bathtub was beautiful and we felt we had checked in to a luxury hotel.

This is a shared property with the owner. Have not struck this before however there were no issues. Not being able to use the kitchen other than for breakfast, meant dining out each night was the only option, but New Plymouth has some great restaurants.
