Perfect place for couples

We had a great stay here. The property is very clean and comfortable, the owners go the extra mile by providing a few drinks and snacks, communication was very clear, and we felt we had privacy even though it's part of their home. It's in lovely location near the port, but still walking distance to town for dinner. Highly recommend and would stay again.

We enjoyed this accomodation. It was quiet, had a comfortable bed, was in a great location. Treats provided were appreciated. We found a number of places to eat and drink. Almost spoiled for choice. We enjoyed the street art and went to the 4th Street Theatre to view a show commemorating Galipoli. A great way to spend Easter and Anzac weekends.

Fantastic place to stay

This property far exceeded our expectations.It is modern, clean & fresh with such a comfortable bed! Great location and access to the coastal walkway. Obvious the owners focus on the small things that make all the difference too such as providing cereal, yoghurt, bread and even an Easter Egg for us as we stayed Easter weekend! 🐣. Excellent communication.

Tucked away on a quiet street we were delighted to find a comfortable and a well presented, light and airy place to relax in. We were welcomed with fresh homemade bread set out ready on the breadboard and a well stocked fridge which was a nice surprise. A great weekend, many thanks to Mark & Jill

An Outstanding Homely Accommodation

We found Mark to be very pleasant and extremely helpful, although we never got the pleasure to meet Jill. We were greeted by the smell of fresh home made bread which was delicious. The fridge was stocked with a number of treats which was very welcoming after a long drive. We were supplied Muesli and Yogurt for the 3 day stay along with a lovely selection of drinks to chose from. We would definitely recommend this place as a great place to stay and we would stay there again if we returned to New Plymouth
