Taradise was absolutely perfect for our group of 4 - cozy, clean, and spacious, with stylish touches all over the house. We loved hanging out around the fireplace at night after long days of hiking Taranaki and exploring New Plymouth. One of the highlights of the trip was meeting Lorraine and John's two sweet kitties in the garden - Flint was a real cuddler! The gardens are a botanical sanctuary - we even saw two wood pigeons hanging out in the trees one morning. Showers are hot with excellent water pressure, and I slept like a baby in the master suite. The kitchen was well-stocked with cookware and spices....it really felt like a home away from home. It's located right next to a big beautiful park - far enough from town so it's quiet and serene, but just an easy 5-minute drive away. All-around one of my favourite AirBnb's to date. Can't wait to stay here again next time we are in town!
