Beautiful Long Weekend Getaway Stay
Mc Arthur park was a delightful place to stay. Our hosts were wonderful and welcoming. It was so comfortable with the lovely kitchenette, and little snacks that were the extra little details. We had a lovely time. Thank you so much.

Perfect stay - wish we'd stayed longer
Everything about this stay was lovely. The beds were comfortable, it was easy to find, location was convenient for us, property was gorgeous, views were stunning, quiet area, and PHENOMENAL (can't underscore that enough) hosts. They were so welcoming, kind, and respectful. They shared their property and sheep with us and let us feed them bread, but gave us privacy as well. It was perfect. We truly wish we didn't have somewhere else to be the next night so we could stay longer.

Christina and Kelly were absolutely amazing hosts. Never experienced anything like it before. They popped in and out our lamps on every night before we got back, provided us with beautiful fresh baked goods each day. Their garden is such a peaceful place with beautiful flowers and a very nice gazebo. Would recommend these guys 2 million %.

OVERNIGHT DELIGHT
We were three, a couple and another adult. We were made thoroughly welcome and our hosts drew a nice balance between letting us alone to enjoy our rooms and being attentive. The roast chicken (and apple pie) supper was super (and the roast potatoes crispy "like mother used to make"). Beautiful house, comfy and delightful rooms (bedrooms, "our" lounge and the breakfast room) and a great view of MtTaranaki.

Wonderful bed and breakfast
Two bedrooms, kitchenette, bathroom, separate WC, and large living room. Plenty of space to spread out. The master bedroom is enormous. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchenette has microwave, fridge, toaster, kettle, and a great view of Mt Taranaki. Our hosts were very welcoming. The continental breakfast was great. The baby grand piano in the living room was a great bonus for us. Conveniently located on the northern edge of town, close to the Tawhiti Museum. Hāwera is small enough that nothing is too far away. Great location for a holiday in Taranaki.
