Lovely quiet out of the way country cottage but close enough to New Plymouth for all the attractions. It was a well provided studio cottage for staying, even with no TV in it the stay was nice and relaxed and there was a lovely big gardens to walk around and small bush track. It does get hot with closed windows and watch out for a large amounts of moths wanting to get in at night, apart from these minor issues it is well worth the stay.

Amazing stay on a farm property, and accommodating of us despite a last minute booking. Make sure to verbally confirm check our times, as ours was incorrect and we were awoken with a rude confrontation about it. Otherwise, a lovely stay

Nice quiet place in the country is exactly what we needed after an all day heavy metal gig in town. A great place to stay if you enjoy reading in the sunshine, tho I wasn’t around long enough to enjoy that aspect.

shed stay
I have been in farming all my life. this property is completely misrepresented in your advertisements you state "with farm outlook" there is actually a view of the farmers garden if that counts. upon arrival, being half way through my holiday I contemplated putting on a load of washing, I therefore asked where i could find the washing machine? and was told in no uncertain terms "go and use a laundrette'. I then thought ok ill watch some TV. but oh no they don't have one of those either. So all the pleasures of home NOT. It really gave the impression of staying in a shed. as New Zealand is one of my favourite places, this was so disappointing. Paul Ambrose.

This guest arrived at 8.45 pm. At 9.40pm he messaged looking for a washing machine and was told one was not available. He rang at 7.30am the next day asking the same question and was given the same reply. He then asked how to do his washing and suggested a laundromat down the road. ( nowhere in our profile does it say that a washing machine or tv are supplied. On the guests departure I found the bed linen very grubby and evidence of urine in the bed

If you are wanting to stay in New Plymouth but would also like a feel like you are far from it all. This is a good place to stay. You may hear distressed animals though, so beware.

Our overall impression of this property is it's excellent. It feels like being out in the country side, yet it's only a few minutes into town, or to the beach. The guest house is great with nice privacy from the main house. Strolling around the gardens was an unexpected bonus. The host's are great. We would definitely stay again.
