New Plymouth Cabin

This is a lovely, quiet, small basic cabin, ideal for one or two nights, but would prefer more rooms if staying longer in New Plymouth. Shirley is a lovely host and the description of the cabin is as it was. Very handy & convenient to New Plymouth attractions.

COSY GETAWAY

Cosy little bedroom with ensuite, and lovely sunroom/kitchenette entered by an external door very close by. Lovely back-section garden with trees, birds, vege patch, hens and a friendly dog. Good parking. We enjoyed several chats with the friendly hosts who have interest in the arts and gardening as we also do.

Relaxing getaway

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Shirley and Dave's wee bach. It had everything we needed, and is set in a beautiful garden space with plenty of birds enjoying kowhai and other offerings. Shirley and Dave are easygoing, hospitable hosts, and both very interesting people. Thanks again

Dog Friendly !

Just needed a base while visiting family. Took my small dog with me and it was great. Very friendly couple. A little odd the bedroom with ensuite was seperate from the conservatory that had the kitchen so you had to go outside to move between the 2 rooms. However it worked for my needs.

Great little cottage

Perfect for our event at the Bowl of Brooklands. Shirley the host, is really friendly. The accommodation itself is perfect for a single or couple. All you need for a short getaway. Lovely gardens and Lola the dog is so cute! Only suggestion is for a pair of scissors for the kitchen area please. We would love to come back and stay again next time we are in New Plymouth. Thank you

Great location.

The accommodation was small but self-contained and comfortable for a short stay. Hosts were very friendly and were on hand to provide helpful advice on things to see and do. Lovely little garden and sunny spot with a friendly dog! Great location to be based for access to Pukekura park and the city.
