This house is in an excellent location in New Plymouth - so easy to access the city and also the coastal walkway. Beautiful views of the sea and plenty to do nearby for families. And check-in etc. is very easy and smooth.
Unfortunately, though, the house is very tired inside and was very dirty when we arrived. The whole place needed a very good vacuum, surfaces needed to be wiped down properly, and towels needed to have been washed properly (they were smelly). The beds were not well made (whoever prepared the house could not be bothered putting the duvets inside the duvet covers), and many of the dishes in the cupboards and drawers were dirty. Overall, the house also needs maintenance (paint is seriously peeling in the bathroom due to steam damage as there is no extractor; there is water damage on the ceiling in the sitting room; and the carpets are absolutely filthy - they probably need to be replaced, though a deep clean would at least improve them). But if you dont mind all that, then the location is fantastic.
