Lovely rural accommodation, everything you need for a short or long stay, very spacious rooms. A secure, peaceful, and quiet location, a short drive from the beach or main centre. Handy to the Bell Block end of the costal walway. Enjoyed the evening visits from the chickens. Would recommend and look forward to staying again.
Was more than we expected. Spacious clean and quite. Never saw the hosts but texted freely with no worries. We stayed three nights and will be staying hopefully again!
Google location worked well. Then it was very easy to get to where we wanted. Explore New Plymouth, bike the Coastal walkway and explore the region.
Very peaceful, great for a recovery weekend. The patchy wifi and random mobile reception made a quick way to reduce technology! Always a bonus.
We loved this property - comfortable, spacious and in good location if you want to be close to Bell Block which was the case with us. The only reason we don't give it five stars was because there was no stores such as salt, pepper, sugar or oil etc there. And importantly no milk - when we arrived we wanted a cup of tea but had to immediately drive about 5 k to the nearest diary. I think given it is a long drive away from stores a few minimal supplies would be useful.
My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the unit, very clean and well set out, with both check-in and check-out being very simple and hassle free
We had an incredible time staying here and appreciated all of the things both big and small our host Jo did to make our stay enjoyable. We can’t wait to be back and wouldn’t hesitate to book here again in a heartbeat!
Clean, comfortable, with a wonderful (and huge!) bed. Great location, quiet but pretty close to New Plymouth. If you want to cook your own meals, do take all provisions.
Our stay in this gorgeous property was magical . We both enjoyed our stay as did our little pooch. To have somewhere so relaxing to come back to each day after enjoying the garden festival was very special to us . We loved every minute we were here and wouldnt hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
We hope to come back
Great property that was warm and Clean. Great privacy even though on the same property as owners. Location was perfect for us. Jo left a personal message and suggestions of things to do in new Plymouth in the rain.
A cosy little bach with Mt Taranaki in the backyard.
This is a little home away from home-bach. It has all the basic essentials. The McDonalds and The Warehouse are a 2-3 minute drive away depending on the morning traffic. The location of the bach was easy and central to the town. There are heaters to keep the bach warm and toasty throughout the night. This bach is suited for people who love a nice rural and quiet area to holiday. The owners live on the property and they can be reached via phone.
If you are looking at cooking, you will need to bring all your kitchen basics to make your meals. The bed is super comfortable and there are layers of warm comforters for the chilly mornings. There isn't a washing machine and dryer to use, but there is a laundromat in Fitzroy for self service. When your outside on the left side of the garage-bach - you will see a clear view of Mt Taranaki.
Had a lovely time. Was more spacious than we expected, neat and tidy, good communication meant we could operate tv etc easily. Cosy beds, kitchen was adequate for self catering. Had a lovely stay.
Charlie, Jo and Co’s place is immaculate, 10 mins from town while being a great escape from the hustle and bustle. Jo very kindly puppy sat Bentley and Charlie was friendly and kept Bentley entertained. We will definitely be back.
