I would highly recommend Craig's place. It is close to the Taranaki National Park, the Pioneer Village and just about half an hour away from New Plymouth. The place is very spacious, clean, cozy and comfortable, and has a great view of Mount Taranaki. Craig as a host was amazing. Without waiting to be asked, he prepared and lit the fireplace so that it would be nice and warm when we arrive. He also made sure to help us get it going the following day. He is very easy to talk to. Thank you Craig! Looking forward to coming back.
