Perfect family stay

A great location to access New Plymouth and the region. The house was perfect for our family to be able to relax, have our own spaces, but also enjoy being together. Great to be able to cook a meal, play with the toys, and easily get into town. Good comms from the host. Our second time at this property and would stay again! Thanks.

Sea Breeze at The Chocolate Box

We loved our stay at The Chocolate Box, perfect fit for our family, lovely, comfortable and really nice. We felt spoilt to be near the ocean, off the main road, to have the massage chair and be so close to the Thermal mineral pools..

Great stay!

Fantastic little home in a great location. So close to town and all the activities we did. The house itself was clean and tidy. Toys and books for the kids was great. Perfect for a family. Only downfall was the sofa-bed was not comfortable at all and we couldn’t use it. We would stay again if visiting New Plymouth.

Home away from home

We really loved our stay here. It had everything we needed plus some lovely seasonal extra touches which we really appreciated like a wee Christmas tree and some Christmassy toys for the kids. Great location with a short drive to the beach, Paritutu and town, and 15 minutes walk to the new playground at Kāwaroa. Our kids also enjoyed the playgrounds and bike/scooter tracks at the schools across the road. Comfy beds, nice courtyard area, and we also loved the hanging chair and the massage chair. Highly recommend.

Fantastic family home in superb New Plymouth location

Our family visits New Plymouth often to visit family and we were so stoked to find this place to stay. Awesome location so close to town, the coastal walk way, Paritutu Rock, Iona dairy for giant icrcreams etc. Lovely place to stay and the kids appreciated the toys, swinging chair and massage chair! We would love to come back again.

Our piece of paradise!

This house was beautiful and all modern facilities. We were down for the Taranaki womens 4s so was ideal for the greens. Would suggest looking at the head of the shower, other than that a 10+ from us all.
