Richard’s cottage was clean and welcoming. Conveniently located near Egmont National Park and Mount Taranaki while only 7 minutes outside of New Plymouth township. The cottage itself was very cozy, with a bathroom suite located just a few steps away. The cottage is situated in a beautiful west coast countryside, easily able to spot the hundreds of stars in a clear night sky while feeling the cool ocean breeze throughout the stay. We would definitely recommend this place!
