Even though it rained the whole time, the wettest week pretty well in New Zealand history, we had a great stay. The place is warm and dry, and big enough to spend time inside. Close to supermarket and various takeaways. Aside from sporadic planes, quiet. Guy is very approachable and responsive, and supplied extras such as a non-allergenic duvet when we asked, and we could have used a kayak if we wanted (but the river in flood). Easy driving access to town and New Plymouth cycle way. Skylight in bedroom does let in a wee bit of light so take a eye mask if you are sensitive to light in the morning. Wifi was great.
