We stayed at Raymond and Helen's studio for 2 nights. Helen welcomed us on the day of our check in and showed us around the place. She was very friendly and even offered us the chance to help feed her 2 very cute sheep.
The studio was very clean and thoughtfully furnished. We really loved the living space as it was cosy and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and the bed was very comfortable. Shower was great too with very good water pressure. Location wise, the studio was well located to downtown New Plymouth (no more than 10 mins drive from all the major attractions) and close to Pak n Save which is a large budget supermarket.
I would totally recommend this place for anyone coming into New Plymouth. Thanks Raymond and Helen for your hospitality!
