Really enjoyed our stay at Whare Hita. The apartment is spacious, clean and has everything you need. The garden access adds a special dimension, nice to sit out and enjoy a cup of tea there. Rachel was very responsive and accommodating which made our stay very easy. Would definitely book again next time we come to New Plymouth.

Great location, great accommodation

We had a lovely stay at Whare Hita. It's close to Fitzroy beach and not far from the central city too. Comfortable and modern with everything you need (except a microwave), including a covered outdoor area with barbecue. Good communication with the host (Rachel), very friendly and responsive.

Gorgeous Apartment - Close to Sea

A beautifully clean and warm apartment, with every comfort needed for our brief stay. We chose the location for it's proximity to the coastal walkway, but found it is also very close to the city center, which we loved. Excellent hosts, accommodating and first class.
