The hosts Rosanne and Ross were extremely helpful right from booking all the way to check out. They went above and beyond to help in all ways and made us feel welcome.The place is well equipped and comfortable, very clean and well presented.We loved our stay here & would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to have a good base while exploring beautiful Taranaki!
Rosanne is a great host who showed us lots of kindness and provided yummy breakfasts suitable for all. The rooms were comfortable and clean and the bathrooms and kitchen spotless. It's a great spot for visiting Taranaki and we would definitely recommend staying at Cadence.
The property suited our family group extremely well as we toured Taranaki. Freindly welcoming host that looked after us very well. Easy communication and Roseann went out of her way to accommodate our changing circumstances. One of the best hosts we've had.
We had a lovely time at the house for a family occasion - fitted all 11 of us in comfortably. Rosanne and Ross are great hosts, very accommodating and friendly, and the breakfast was great. Kids loved the added bonus on hanging out with the family pet in the yard. Perfect waking distance to town and local walks. We'll be sure to book again. Thanks so much!
It's a hostel. No where is it stated. After we made our initial booking were forced to book out the whole 'lodge' (7 rooms) for 3 guests when we were told it was still open to others..
The owners communication was unprofessional. Would not recommend
The property was well set out and perfect for us with mixed staff as there was a room for privacy each.
Good breakfast and wonderful to come home to dinner ready.
Rosanne was a wonderful host.
Will be back :)
Great place to stay and would book again. Warm dry and everything you need!

Home away from Home!
Stepping into the softy tone,
walking of the life of a traveller,
no wonder what it is, no wonder where it is!
Just the same old stuff of custom.
Feel the warmth, let the mood be.
Whatever there is, wherever there is.
Lying on the softy bed, letting free...
Just the wind vane, letting the natural way.
Bush, plants fill the scene.
Sky blue all over the new two-day year.
Heading to here, heading to there...The Egmont with streams and pools...Oh, waterfalls of tiny sweety.
Just a home away from Home.
