Family weekend away

Hosts are fantastic, took time to show our grandchildren their animals and let the girls help put the chooks to bed, accommodation is very roomy and so space for everyone, it was hot but you could leave all the windows open which helped (perhaps one day an air conditioner could be installed?). Overall a great place to stay, close to NP itself but semi rural enough to be quiet and relaxing. Certainly somewhere we would stay again.

Waitara wonderland!

Delightful and comfortable place to stay for a family of four, a very reasonable price, and with exceptional hosts, Fiona even made me a hand made leather belt because it was the one thing I forgot. Close enough to New Plymouth that it wasn't an issue doing and seeing all the things we wanted, but was nice to be able to escape the city business for something peaceful and picturesque.

Fiona and Chris are the loveliest hosts who go above and beyond! Their massive park like garden and orchard are very impressive, especially with the special lights at night. We had a very comfy and cosy stay.
