Little Beauty? Absolute Stunner more like!
They say the camera never lies - well in this case I'd say it's being 'economical with the truth' as the photos don't do Toia's place justice... it's a lovely space and the location & views are amazing.
The view of Mt. Taranaki is breathtaking and never gets old as it changes from minute to minute as the sun arcs across the sky and clouds alternately shroud & reveal the peak.
Turn the other way and you can see across the flat farmland to the sea. At night, if there's no cloud it's a great place for 'dark skies' with the Milky Way splashed across the sky.
New Plymouth is a short drive away for culture, Coastal Walkway (cycle & walking path), cafes etc. plus a variety of walks in the Egmont National Park (from under an hour to a few days length) are easily accessible.
9 weeks and 13 stops into our tiki tour of NZ this is our favourite accommodation so far!
We will definitely come back here if (when!) we next visit New Zealand...
