We had a very enjoyable long weekend here. All 7 of us loved the location of this house, 2 minutes walk to the wonderful Coastal Walkway. 30 minutes in one direction to Te Rewa Rewa bridge and 30 minutes in the other direction to the Wind Wand. The living area, kitchen and deck are all set up perfectly for relaxing, socialising and making the most of the sea views and afternoon sun. The wood burner worked really well, providing ambience and a house cosy in the evenings. Plenty of firewood provided. Kitchen is very well equipped. Joelene was friendly and helpful, and lives right next door in a separate house. The laundry and 2 bathrooms were well equipped, (one bathroom does not have a lock on the door). We had assumed that the 2 single beds were in a room with a door, but they were in a side room which is open plan with the kitchen/living. OK for kids, but not ideal for the 7th adult. This is a fantastic place to stay for 3 couples. Thanks Joelene for providing such a great house in lovely New Plymouth.
