My stay at Maureen's served to be a nice little oasis! Her beautiful home is right along a most beautiful inner city trail that has various local flora/fauna with a river rushing by. That alone made for heavenly sleep! The house was just a nice, short walk into town where there is heaps to do/see. Maureen herself was just the loveliest hostess and it was a pleasure to meet her and talk travel and things to do around the New Plymouth area. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
