We loved staying at the Eco Bach for a week. It was in the most wonderful setting with a view of Mount Taranaki from the kitchen window. There was lots of comfortable space out front for us to grab a picnic blanket and spend a few hours reading. You can also explore the grounds and find the chickens, to whom we fed our food scraps. It was also really wonderful to be able to bring our small dog along, who had an equally great time sniffing around the grounds. When we arrived, the Bach was spotlessly clean and we were thrilled to see that some milk had been provided for our morning coffees the next day. It was also great to find that the bed itself was really comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. The Bach itself is well situated in proximity to New Plymouth and other amenities. It was just a 15 minute drive to the city itself and less than 10 minutes to a great lake hike (which we did 4 times!). We also really enjoyed learning more about the ways in which the Eco Bach had been made environmentally friendly (there were readings within the Bach). All in all, it was just perfect for us and we look forward to coming back.
