Ellie and Phil's place is super clean and spacious. In fact, the room you live in is totally separate from theirs and you own a small kitchen for a coffee, tea or easy breakfast if you like. The Youtube channel and Netflix is a bonus if you want to have some entertainment to relax.
It's 7-8 minutes driving from CBD so very convenient to the city center where you can get a list of good restaurants and cuisine.
Ellie and Phil are both very friendly and easygoing. Their place is absolutely a must live when you visit New Plymouth.
