We had a wonderful week. Michel and May were very communicative and welcomed us to the cottage which is very private. They brought us fresh fruit and vegetables from their garden and gave us advice on local activities. The cottage is modern, thoughtfully decorated and well equipped with the best shower. It has panoramic views of the coastline and surrounding hills. It is in a stunning rural location but close to New Plymouth and within east access to all the walks around Mt Taranaki. We thoroughly recommend.
