We had a fantastic stay in Sallys place. Everything was just fine: The location in a beautiful, peaceful neighbourhood, but not too far the beach, Pukekura Park and restaurants. The room is lovely and well equipped, with a good view of Mount Taranaki. You have enough privacy (separate entrance) and outdoor sitting is possible (view of Mount Taranaki for breakfast:...) We didn't meet Sally, but we had a good and quick communication and she was very friendly..We totally recommand this place and New Plymouth!
