We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Raewyn's place. Raewyn was a kind and friendly host. The location is absolutely incredible - an attractive and peaceful residential street that is walking distance from the centre of town. And of course right next to the Festival of Lights, if your trip coincides with that, which ours didn't. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The fridge and kitchen equipment were more than adequate for us to make hot drinks and a simple breakfast. Lovely bathroom with separate shower and bath and plenty of towels. For us the absolute highlight was the swimming pool. What a beautiful space. The water is deep so luckily we had our young kids' floaty swim vests with us. They had a ball leaping in off the side and would have loved to stay there all day, but we were keen to explore New Plymouth. I would highly recommend Raewyn's place for anyone on a short trip where you'll mostly be eating out for some meals. We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely return
