I was a little apprehensive booking an apartment right underneath the host's house. But I needn't have been concerned - the apartment is purpose built, quiet and our privacy was totally respected.

Robyn and Blair are great hosts, with excellent restaurant recommendations. The apartment is spacious, light, well appointed and spotlessly clean. We felt it was a great location to base ourselves for 3 nights over the school holidays while we explored the town, Oakura, Forgotten World highway, horse trekking and other attractions the area has to offer. I'd stay again when in Taranaki.
