We really enjoyed staying in the cottage, which was lovely and comfortable with plenty of room for my husband and I and our two dogs. The Christmas decorations were a lovely touch.

Compact cottage
Unfortunately we arrived in stormy cold weather. As a door and 2 windows couldn't be closed properly, we found the cottage cold and draughty, with a very cramped bathroom.The country setting is very nice and private though.

Wow
Stunning little farm cottage with everything we could want. Shower pressure GREAT, bed VERY comfortable, location only 4 minutes drive to the 50km city sign. Aircon worked great. The only concern being dog friendly was the section is not fully fenced.
It had everything we needed and being in the country. It was extremely peaceful.

Lovely quiet place to stay while we viewed properties with intention of a move to Taranaki. Great we could bring our dog with us. Clean and quaint cottage set in rural area but still only minutes from town.

Taranaki Hideaway
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage is just perfect for two people and as a bonus dogs are allowed. Location is just right - in the country but only 15 minutes to the city. The bach is very clean, tidy, and well appointed. There was nothing there that was not needed (so many other bachs are full of junk accumulated over the years). Highly recommend for a couple wanting peace and quiet but proximity to New Plymouth.
