The place was superb, I chose it for the view and the location but got so much more. It's very cosy, more than enough space for 11 of us. Would fit 12-13 comfortably. Fun experience to feed the chickens and goldfish! It's location is superb if you're wanting to visit the national park (45-60 minutes drive). It has a great view of the town of New Plymouth and of Taranaki.
