Clovelly was perfect for us and even better than we had hoped for. The hosts have put so much thought and care into how the space is presented and what is available to guests. We were pleasantly surprised to find a selection of lovely teas as well as a variety of breakfast items available for our use.
The deck and outdoor chairs are beach facing so you can sit out and enjoy a view of the beach without having to leave the property! The grounds are well maintained with beautiful birds of paradise plants out the front. We enjoyed falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing on the beach and found the whole experience at Clovelly very relaxing.
Oakura is a beautiful little township and there is no reason to leave however it is only a short drive into New Plymouth if you wish.
We highly recommend the Black Sands Pizzeria and Bistro which is a 1 minute walk from Clovelly and situated right on the beach front. We enjoyed fantastic service, local craft beers and delicious authentic Neapolitan cuisine here (they also offer takeaway pizza!) - a real find and bonus to staying here.
Thank you to Jeremy and Sashil for being such wonderful hosts, the property really made our trip and exceeded expectations and we would love to come back again :)
