My partner and I were very happy with our stay at Studio Verde. The hosts, Andie and Alan, provided comprehensive instructions on how to find our accommodation. The flexible check-in was great as it meant there was no stress about how long our drive to New Plymouth took, given traffic can be a bit unpredictable during the Christmas holidays. The studio itself and the surroundings were very quiet. We had everything we needed - no TV as mentioned in the listing but the wifi was excellent so we did well with a laptop and some Netflix during our downtime. The location is great for access to town. On both days we were there we didn't need our car at all; we just wandered leisurely into town for meals and sightseeing. The studio is right by the beautiful Pukekura Park, which we enjoyed walking around as well. Andie and Alan left us to it, but were very quick to reply to messages and were very friendly and helpful when we ran into them during our stay. Thanks so much!
