If you are considering a stay at this property, book it now without delay!! The property itself is absolutely stunning and the hosts are terrifically helpful. The views of Mt Taranaki out the front windows are breath-taking, as is the rest of the yard, and my nine-year olds had a ball feeding the koi fish and petting the cows. The owners even swung by the property to help introduce the kids to the cows (actually, they came at our request to trouble shoot a washing machine issue, which they did beautifully, and while they were here they went above and beyond and helped our kids learn cow etiquette). The house itself is extremely comfortable and well appointed with everything we could need, from breakfast supplies and cooking supplies to linens and towels to books and board games the family enjoyed playing together. It is 45 min from New Plymouth, 25 min from Mt Taranaki and Stratford and 10 minutes from Opunake, so easy access to tons of activities and restaurants. We were delighted, and if you are coming to enjoy this region, this is a wonderful place to stay.
