A great tiny home experience. A well appinted space that was much more comfy than expected. The pizza oven was excellent for a quick dinner after a long day

2 nights in New Plymouth
First time staying in New Plymouth as a couple and were apprehensive about staying in a place that wasn’t a motel. Couldn’t have been more impressed. Excellent communication, friendliness and key handover. Comfortable bed, outdoor bath and even a hammock! Felt like our own private nest with everything we needed. Recommend to anyone staying a few nights in New Plymouth :-)Monica
