City Cabin

Our little self-contained cabin is set on a small private section in the quiet neighbourhood just minutes by foot from New Plymouth's magnificent Pukekura Park. Surrounded by trees and garden, it has a private bedroom with a shower and toilet attached. Next door a separate conservatory space has a kitchen sink (along with kettle, microwave, toaster and hot plate), a cafe table and chairs and a chaise longue. It looks on to our house and garden. We have a friendly medium sized dog as well as chickens. We need our visitors to be vaccinated as we have people in our family who are immune compromised
The cottage features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fenced private yard, and a coffee maker.

Was surprised we had to go outside to get from one room to another. Could be a problem in real winter. Hosts were good and very amicable. I did have difficulty cooking a whole meal. Microwave and one hot plate. This was fine for breakfast, but a challenge for other full meals. Would suit those dinning out or using takeaway

New Plymouth Cabin

This is a lovely, quiet, small basic cabin, ideal for one or two nights, but would prefer more rooms if staying longer in New Plymouth. Shirley is a lovely host and the description of the cabin is as it was. Very handy & convenient to New Plymouth attractions.
