Cute villa with a stunning garden view

We stayed for one night on our way home to Auckland from Wellington. Annette and her husband are welcoming hosts. She helped us with dinner recommendations and things to do. Their garden knowledge is fantastic and they were very happy to share their knowledge and experience with us. A lovely relaxing place with a very comfy bed and atmosphere.

Stay at New Plymouth

The hosts of the guest house are so friendly and have provided everything we wanted. The location was great which is only 20mins away from NP and the room was nice, warm, super clean. My husband and I quite enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back some time.

Close to home

Was a great place to stay, as it turned out I knew the owners and had some excellent talks about people we knew and grew up with. Apart from that I would recommend this as one of the best, secluded places you could wish to stay close to town.

Lovely accommodation in a slice of heaven!

We loved every second of our Easter stay, not only great accomodation but even personalized - next level, perfectly clean, organized, private, perfectly positioned. Close driving to surfers paradise SH45 or stunning parks and waterfront walkways for non-surfers, I would say it has anything for anyone.

Accommodation Review

We had the pleasure of staying at this lovely boutique-style accommodation and were thoroughly impressed. The space was clean, inviting, and beautifully presented. Despite our late arrival, the lights were on, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. A thoughtful message on the welcome board and a delightful selection of biscuits waiting for us made us feel right at home.The continental breakfast was delicious, adding to the overall experience. We booked on short notice due to unfortunate circumstances, but Annette was incredibly accommodating and kind, going above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable.We can honestly find no fault with our stay and would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone seeking a relaxing, welcoming retreat. Thank you, Annette, for your kindness and hospitality.
