We had a great stay here. It's an apartment on the lower level of a house in a quiet neighborhood near the sea. We enjoyed the hot tub in the private back yard! Please note that this apartment has a kitchen with a small fridge and microwave, but no stove, oven, or cooking pots. It works for reheating food only (and my mistake for missing those details in the listing!). If you don't need to cook, then this is a fabulous place to stay in Taranaki.
