This place is a real gem and we absolutely loved it. If you want peace and quiet in the country and still only be 10 mins from the heart of New Plymouth this is it. From the moment we arrived, we got a huge welcome from the owner's lovely Bonnie the Golden retriever. We then met Christine and Stu and they made us feel very welcome right from the moment we met them. We stayed 4 nights here and it was such a pleasure. The cottage has everything you could want and the mixture of originality of the cottage to modern touches makes it quite special. A lot of little quirky touches to the cottage really made it feel like home. We were out and about every day but to come home to this place was a delight. We will definetely be back to stay and to give Bonnie more cuddles.
