Made us feel right at home.

Fabulous stay

Property was everything we'd hoped for. Scrupulously clean and well appointed, very convenient location with shops, eateries, beaches and walk ways very handy. Our dog was well catered for and the nearby Back Beach is fabulous for dog walks and swims. We'll definitely be staying here again. Tony and Jo

Value for money

We had 2 days here along with our little dog. We were thrilled on arrival to find a welcome basket for our pooch (along with lovely human treats). The place was fully fenced with no gaps, perfect for our small dog. The house was spotless and was very close to town.

A cozy cabin indeed

Everything was just as described. The cabin was spotless, very tidy, well equiped kitchen area too. Lots of little additions by Rose, dog bowls, dog basket with info, treats, and a dog towel. A snack box is provided gratis, also ground coffee and plunger. The garden is fully fenced for the pooch but bring your own dog bed. The shower room is a tad snug but has everything you need.Excellent value for the price range.

Welcoming and relaxing

Rose is an excellent host that is most welcoming. Whilst very windy it was still a relaxing break and was set up for my dog allowing for the weather. The treats were appreciated and Rose kept me informed about the internet issues outside of her control. I will certainly recommend to others and would stay again

A fabulous stay for us and our puppy

A wonderful wee place to stay - immaculate and welcoming, including the treats for Jack, our 4-month old puppy. Rose was amazing to deal with - nothing was a problem and she even provided an iron and using board at the last minute. There were so many small touches that it really felt like a home away from home. Completely puppy-proof section which meant we did not have to worry about our puppy escaping. Good location and easy to get to waterfront and downtown New Plymouth. A great few days and we hope to return one day. Thank you, Rose!

Lovely stay!

This was a great little bach to stay at. Just the right amount of space and a really good location (the water could be seen in the distance). The property's description was very accurate and useful - always good to know what the cooking options are and that there's a coffee plunger on site. :) Everything was very clean and welcoming. Rose was great at communication. During my stay there were two days of amazing weather followed by two days of almost non-stop rain. Between movies and card games, it was a cozy space be inside during those wet days. Very relaxing and refreshing. I would highly recommend this property!

Cosy but still very comfortable

While the cabin certainly lives up to being cosy, the host Rose with her extra touches just makes the stay here simply wonderful. Our dog Victor had his own special welcome pack, stocked with a variety of treats, his own bowls to use during his stay , even towels just for him to use to dry off if he went swimming. Whilst the cabin is a small space it’s perfectly comfortable for 2 adults with their dog. Back beach is an off leash dog beach only 10 mins drive away , the coastal walkway stretches almost the entire length of New Plymouth and that is dog on leash . And don’t miss Pukekura park ! That’s dog on leash most of the year. Rose provides some useful info about where you can and can’t go with your doggo. A very comfortable and well supplied cosy cabin with an exceptional host !

A very tidy and comfortable cosy cabin. We did struggle with the traffic noise a bit with it being located near a busy road but it also is a veru handy location to the city, beach and gardens. Overall a nice little cabin to stay in.

The Cosy Cabin is excellent dog-friendly accommodation. Our dog Harry, a young springer spaniel with lots of energy, loved the section. He did lots of circuits of the property, checking out all the smells and new things to see. The well -fenced section meant we didn't need to worry about him. The total "paw of approval" from Harry. For the humans, also a great stay. Very welcoming, comfortable, relaxed and cosy.Ngā mihi nui.
