We had a lovely 4 night stay at Sue and Gav's Cottage! The location is great - in the countryside with lots of birdlife and also handy for attractions - only 10 minutes drive to New Plymouth and close to North Egmont tramping tracks and the Surf Highway 45. The cottage is located next door to Sue and Gav's house - they are lovely hosts who make sure you have everything you need, go above and beyond and also respect your privacy. Their pet dog and cats are very friendly and will come in to visit you at the Cottage which is great for animal lovers like us! There are also chickens in the yard (whose eggs you can enjoy in the morning!)
The cottage is clean with a comfortable bed, impressive shower, TV with Netflix, well-stocked kitchen, books and an incredible amount of breakfast food included (coffee, sugar, tea, bread, milk, spreads, eggs) so no need to do a breakfast shop! There is also a handy set of shops 5 minutes drive down the road at Bell Block which has a small superette, takeaways and restaurants for evening meals. A carport is next door and there is ample space for extra parking.
Would definitely recommend this as the perfect base for a Taranaki Holiday and great hospitality! We would most certainly return :)
