Stunning location. Beautiful gardens and ‘secret’ pathways. Very quiet. Comfortable beds and powerful shower! Beautiful lounge and dining area and well set up with pool table. Would be great for a group but also relaxing for a couple. Wonderful stay.
We had a lovely stay in a clean comfortable room. Enjoyed a log fire in the common area. Right in the middle of nature, felt very secluded. Friendly owner.
Very comfortable remote stay. Poor internet affected the performance of room tv which often resulted in long buffering times. No access to epos payment onsite (a real pain).
Such a lovely place to stay! Friendly and very helpful throughout our stay. Breakfast was wonderful. The accommodation complex was clean, tidy, cosy and modern.
Loved the scenery and the quiet, listening to the tūīs in the morning was bliss!
Noticed many surrounding walks and nearby zoos for anyone with families.
Highly recommend to others!
Will definitely be coming back! Thank you for your fantastic hospitality! 😁
The host was so accommodating and nothing was too much to ask. Magical setting in the tranquility of our beautiful Maunga, all just 30 minutes from the heart of New Plymouth.
Will definitely be back again.

Our stay was great. It’s a short bush walk to Pukeiti. The lodge is very clean and tidy with big comfy couches. The shower pressure is amazing and the bed was really comfortable. Breakfast was lovely.
Amazing, Amazing, Amazing.
So friendly and welcoming.
Amazing service and introduction.
Highly recommend to everyone wanting to get away and relax or a weekend away with a loved one

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
- Late check-in and friendly staff.
- Scenery is beautiful.
- Location is lovely and quiet with lots of bird sounds.
- Communal areas are nice and recently updated.
- Room smelt musty coming in.
- Wallpaper in suite was peeling off the walls a bit, looked tired.
- Bathroom in suite was a bit old and outdated which unfortunately just makes it look a bit unclean as well (not what was shown in advertising pictures, new and updated appear to be communal)
- Water pressure was very weak.
- Most amenities are in communal areas rather than the room. Rooms are very basic.
- Only 3 coat hangers and no where much to put any clothes.
