Jarene's is what I would describe as the epitome of a gracious host. She is friendly, conversational and accommodates for any possible thing you could need as a guest! Her home was cozy and extremely well thought out for travelers. She has considered anything you could have forgotten on your travels and included them in your room such as toiletries and a kettle for some tea and coffee. I was pleasantly surprised to find she offered breakfast and the spread was more than I would've expected from even a small hotel! I wish I had booked more time in New Plymouth because her place and company made my stay that much more enjoyable. I could not recommend her enough to anyone traveling through New Plymouth!
