This house suited our family perfectly for our week stay in New Plymouth. With the added bonus of being able to bring our family dog with us. The house is spacious with plenty of room for our family of five to spread out. A fully fenced, beautifully maintained garden provided a secure area for Bess (dog) to be outside. The location was fantastic for getting out and about. Approx. 5 min drive into town centre or a nice walk along the coastal walkway, which is nearly right on the doorstep. We appreciate the easy beach access almost right on our door step, whicih was wonderful for getting out for our morning walks and runs. We were travelling with our 2 daughters, 11 and 16years, and grandmother - who said the bed was very comfy (high praise). We would definitely book again - for a summer break next time. Thank-you Darrin for your fabulous communication !!!
