Quaint, cute and surrounded by lush farmland, Carrington Countryside is a rural retreat on the outskirts of New Plymouth!

Oozing with charm, the sole bedroom provides a queen-sized bed, while there is a fold-out sofa bed in the lounge. The full-sized bathroom has the bonus of a washing machine for your convenience. If you need, an on-site dryer is also available upon request.

The updated kitchen is fresh, tidy and functional. Flowing through to the dining area, gather around the table and enjoy a meal! The separate lounge is comfortable and homely, relax and unwind with the modern amenities of a Smart TV and heat pump. Meanwhile, curl up with a good book in the sunny conservatory.

We really enjoyed staying in the cottage, which was lovely and comfortable with plenty of room for my husband and I and our two dogs. The Christmas decorations were a lovely touch.

House Hunting in New ymouth

Lovely quiet place to stay while we viewed properties with intention of a move to Taranaki. Great we could bring our dog with us. Clean and quaint cottage set in rural area but still only minutes from town.

Taranaki Hideaway

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage is just perfect for two people and as a bonus dogs are allowed. Location is just right - in the country but only 15 minutes to the city. The bach is very clean, tidy, and well appointed. There was nothing there that was not needed (so many other bachs are full of junk accumulated over the years). Highly recommend for a couple wanting peace and quiet but proximity to New Plymouth.

Wow

Stunning little farm cottage with everything we could want. Shower pressure GREAT, bed VERY comfortable, location only 4 minutes drive to the 50km city sign. Aircon worked great. The only concern being dog friendly was the section is not fully fenced.

Compact cottage

Unfortunately we arrived in stormy cold weather. As a door and 2 windows couldn't be closed properly, we found the cottage cold and draughty, with a very cramped bathroom.The country setting is very nice and private though.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 Apr 2025
Rowena, we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. We're sorry to hear the weather impacted your visit and that the draught from the windows and door made things less comfortable — those concerns have since been passed along for inspection. It’s good to know the peaceful country setting was still a highlight. If you’d like to provide any further detail, please don’t hesitate to contact us by phone or email so we can continue improving this property. Reputation & Resolutions Coordinators, Bachcare.
