Such an exceptional place. The view is breathtaking and everything was clean. You can access the beach, you just need to take approx 100 downslope steps ( less than 10 min). I believe there is no better place to relax than this :). It’s worth it so much.
Note* New Plymouth’s City Centre is quite far ( 20 min, 40 return ) so make sure to get whatever you need prior driving up to the Cottage.
