A good place
Unfortunately the cute chickens had left a deposit which was cleaned up just before we arrived. The hosts could explain a bit better about where the guests can walk, as they have a magnificent garden
Great little place, good location within easy reach of everything.
Only downside would be the fact the bed squeeks every time you move
Listing says there is a washer and dryer but there is not though this is apparently not theough lack of them trying to stop it from being on the list
Beautiful cottage with atmosphere to die for. Amazing location..charming gardens, homely and a great spot. We will be back again in the summer for another view of the lady mountain
Thank you

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.

This is small, tidy property accommodation with lovely gardens to wander about in. Very quiet surrounds. It is just a few (10 minutes) from New Plymouth.
This is a lovely little standalone granny flat on a beautiful farm property. The house has everything a couple would need and is super private and quiet. Great and fast communication with the owner and easy checkin. WiFi works well.
What an amazing place! We loved the stay, the quiet and truly beautiful surroundings. Thank you 😊
Loved having the chicken popping in to say hi and the little rabbits bouncing around outside. The gardens was like a true retreat and easy to get anywhere. Kathleen and Peter was amazing hosts and we will be back.

Great escape
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.
