Sea Breeze at The Chocolate Box

We loved our stay at The Chocolate Box, perfect fit for our family, lovely, comfortable and really nice. We felt spoilt to be near the ocean, off the main road, to have the massage chair and be so close to the Thermal mineral pools..

Perfect family stay

A great location to access New Plymouth and the region. The house was perfect for our family to be able to relax, have our own spaces, but also enjoy being together. Great to be able to cook a meal, play with the toys, and easily get into town. Good comms from the host. Our second time at this property and would stay again! Thanks.
