It was a real retreat to me to stay at Barabara's house. I felt home from the very first moment and all the colours in the house made me very happy. It was perfectly clean and fully equiped with everything you need! Barbara is a lovely host and furthermore a dedicated massage therapist. The massage was awesome! Its perfectly located for surfers, just in the center, so that you get to all the Taranaki spots within 30 minutes! The bed was super comfy, loved the fire place. It felt like a real home! Highly recommend this place! I would come back any time!
