Great base to stay close to New Plymouth and also National Park areas for walks and cycling. We enjoyed Eco base but still had all the modern conveniences TV hot water Internet etc. it is very peaceful looking out at sheep and calf and view of Mt Taranaki when doing dishes. BBQ set up which we cooked on although fully functioning oven good shower and we enjoyed Eco bath . Nice walk around property. We would recommend for couple or couple and 1-2 small children
