Tesa & Guy's self-contained flat is a lovely space out the back of their house. It was well equipped and sunny with a large bedroom and modern bathroom. Two minor quibbles: the weather was so sunny I would have loved to sit outside but there had been recent earthworks and even the grass was gone from outside (I guess this will be quickly rectified). The residential neighbourhood was quite noisy on the nights I stayed there, music, a loud argument next door, and some late night car racing. But generally, I enjoyed my stay here. Probably next time I'll organise something a little closer to New Plymouth, as the distance to Waitara wasn't compensated for with particularly scenic views.
