The apartment is bigger than it looks in the photos. It is renovated and in an original New Plymouth apartment so has some character. The location is great - at the end of town that has a bit of life- good restaurants and cafes. It is just off the edge of the town centre so while amenities are close, you don't get the noise. The coastal walkway is a 2 minute stroll away. A 5 minute walk to the Len Lye gallery, and Pukekura park is about a 20 minute walk away. There is a space to park but we didn't need a car. In the kitchen there is a bench top oven with two elements on top. We didn't eat in at all, but I wouldn't recommend this place if you intend to cook a lot of big meals. The kitchen is perfectly serviceable for breakfast and preparing lunch, and a small dinner. But with good cafes and restaurants so close there isn't much need.
