Lovely garden. Friendly & generous hosts. Clean comfortable & well appointed

Only microwave in kitchen. A hot plate would have been nice.

Nice and central, clean

Didn’t speak or see anyone of the property, would have liked some personal interaction for tips etc.

Complimentary breakfast in room was lovely. Juices coffee/tea fresh fruit bread jams…lovely. Small kitchen nicely equipped. Access to beautiful garden. Would highly recommend!!

La casa es preciosa, silencioso y el desayuno que te dejan en el cuarto nos pareció muy útil para aprovechar el tiempo al máximo en New Plymouth

Superbe logement très bien équipé et magnifiquement décoré. Très bon petit déjeuner. Hôte accueillante et très attentionné.

We very much enjoyed the quiet,peaceful location of this property,the garden and the oh so comfortable bed. The continental breakfast was both delicious and very generous,and my husband appreciated the 'wee dram of whiskey. The accommodation was exceptionally clean,and there was everything that you need for a short break. And as for Smash the cat....He Is gorgeous....as are Mel and Shane!

Great location. Everything was just right. Excellent hosts.

Beautiful garden. Very central location.

Very comfortable, great location close to the city Centre, set amongst great gardens making it calm and relaxing

Rent, behageligt og der var kræset for os. Det bedste BnB vi nogensinde boet på. Der var lækker morgenmad, frugt og små spændende chokolader. Haven var spændende og om aften med lys på. Shane gav os en fantastisk rundvisning. Vi fik låne mountainbikes og en vejledning hvordan man kom til havnen og cykelstig gennem skov til kysten. Stort tak til Shane og Mel for denne fantastiske oplevelse!!

Savnede intet.

This was EXCEPTIONAL. Immaculate facilities and attention to detail. Supremely comfortable bed and couch and armchair. Faultless kitchen and fridge facilities, top quality breakfast and drinks included, including a crystal decanter of whiskey. The bathroom was wonderful, and the towelling robes were just the icing on the cake. The steps and deck at night were breathtaking

The lounge lights were flickering, but we just used the other lights and had ample lighting.

Beautiful clean and tidy place to stay will definitely stay here again

Wow Sequoia Steps was amazing, everything we expected and much more. A fantastic space, very well presented, everything is high quality, excellent self serve breakfast and a great kitchen area to prepare it in. The hosts were fantastic, really helpful and informative about the area and dining out, but discrete and left us to our own devices, just the right balance. The garden is beautiful and outdoor seating was provided to make the most of the gorgeous weather. We took the bikes, complete with helmets, out and had an amazing time on the coastal path, thanks to Shane for getting the ready and for directions. Dedicated off road parking included. We highly recommend Sequoia Steps and would definitely recommend New Plymouth as a location.

Car parking slightly awkward.

This accommodation was perfection. Every last little detail was thought of. Immaculately clean. The most comfortable bed and bedding. A delicious breakfast with so many options. Gorgeous location and setting. Will be coming back

It’s such a cozy place to stay in. The host Mel prepared so many different things for breakfast. Definitely will be back again.

This place was exceptional! It was very tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean and everything had been thought of. I highly recommend this place.

i would love to see less small packets of jams and peanut butter etc. This is not environmentally friendly.

Very nice continental breakfast with lots of options.

Beautiful apartment, thoughtfully appointed, lovely detail throughout. Bathroom was gorgeous. Bed was comfy. And the yard/garden/art and lighting was stunning. The beauty of the garden came in every window of the apartment. Our host, Shane was friendly and attentive. We really did not want to leave!

There was nothing to not like.

Well located, secluded and set in exceptional gardens which were floodlit at night. Absolutely stunning! Very well appointed and tastefully furnished. Plenty of choice for continental breakfast. The most luxurious bathroom we have ever been in.

Loved everything!

The place was clean, beautiful, and cosy. All the small touches also made our stay feel more like home away from home. Last but not least, the garden is absolutely stunning. Mel and Shane are friendly and super hosts

Nothing, everything was perfect.

Very nice garden and very confortable appartement.

Lack of daylight because the appartement is situated in the basement and surrounded by vegetation. Breakfast is a bit light and mostly based on sweet aliments (cereals, fruit yogourts, sirop fruits...)

Beautiful decor- very homely. Beautiful outdoor setting and lovely hosts. Especially loved the gorgeous pets.

A beautiful, private and peaceful setting with wonderfully attentive hosts. A very spacious area and well appointed. The continental breakfasts were very generous and thoughtful. Will definitely stay again.

magical place to stay, lovely and quiet. close to town and walkways. we would stay here again

cooking is limited to a microwave but for a short stay that is plenty

excellent breakfast, good choices

Nothing

It was a continental breakfast with very generous quantity of quality meusli amd serial with fresh fruit/canned fruit and juice. Plunger coffee, various teas, milk bread and jams for toast. Excellent heat pump heating much appreciated in 0c overnight temperatures.

Well presented, with a wonderful garden and great hosts. The breakfast was good too. Excellent value for money.

There was nothing not to like, we had a wonderful weekend.

Beautiful accommodation, with every detail considered to make the stay cozy and comfortable. The lights in the gardens are magnificent, the decor is gorgeous, the bed luxurious, and the continental breakfast impressive. ✨️ Thanks Mel and Shane for being great hosts- we will be back to the lovely Taranaki and Sequoia Steps 🩷

Warm and cosy set in a beautiful garden which was lit up at night. Tasty breakfast provisions were provided. A comfy bed and lounge and clean and modern bathroom. Shane welcomed us gave us dinner recommendations and introduced us to his gorgeous little Bichon.

There was nothing negative about the property.

Very comfortable apartment in a private setting. The garden is a credit to the hosts. Everything we needed, and more!

The unit was expansive and extremely well appointed. The variety of food for breakfast was lovely and the attention to detail made us feel like welcome guests.

Nothing

loved the peaceful garden location in a very quiet neighbourhood. Roomy unit with lots of extras provided. Good communication from owner

Beautiful garden setting, and sumptuous breakfast

The bed wasn’t comfortable- it had Roll Together. Outside light was too bright which made sleep difficult

everything, mainly the native birds and beautiful garden. Got greeted by a Pukeko, piwakawaka and kereru soon after arriving. The room was styled well and clearly not done 'on the cheap' as a lot of places are

Best B&B in New Zealand (so far). Very comfortable and cozy apartment, well equipped and spacious, wonderful garden. Very friendly and helpful hosts, perfect restaurant recommendations, offered bikes. Very quiet, still close to the city. Breakfast was self-service but nevertheless very good.

Simple : everything! The hosts are so nice and helpful, they offer to rent bikes for free, give you recommandations for food and visits. Lightshow in the evening and possibility to stay in the garden to look at it. The room and the bed are very comfortable, appartement is big and with everything you need for breakfast. Clearly one of the best stay we had in NZ!

Nothing

Just everthing about our stay was superb. We have stayed in Air B&Bs all over the world and this rates as one of the best. Has the most beautiful garden.

What a delightful apartment tucked way in a quiet cul de sac in New Plymouth. The gardens are gorgeous and the hosts Mel and Shane are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The facilities are excellent - a wonderful breakfast is provided including juices, cereal, toast, fruit..and for the evening there is a decanter of scotch and some chocolates. The bed is super comfy and the space looking out on a colourfully lit night time garden is perfect. Highly recommended.

Lovely welcoming hosts, beautifully appointed accommodation that was very comfortable and spotlessly clean - it was such a great place to stay. It is a private quiet location but within close proximity to town. The garden is stunning and such a credit to the owners; the lights at night really make it a show stopper.

There was absolutely nothing not to like.

Exquisite garden, outstanding B & B , great breakfast with plenty to eat.

No issues at all.

Everything was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Mel and Shane were very and pleasant hosts. The garden is a credit to their hard work and creative capabilities.

Everything was provided. Great place to stay. Good breakfast and hosts.

Wonderful hosts, stunning garden, clean and modern accommodation. Lovely breakfast foods in flat so could stay on pj"s!

Everything was great, and we enjoyed our stay thoroughly.

Beautiful unit on the ground floor with separate entrance. Comfortable bed with plenty of warm blankets. Continental breakfast provided with fresh fruit, butter, jam, cereal, yoghurt etc. tea and coffee or hot chocolate. Apartment was sparkling clean, as was the bathroom. The gardens are spectacular

We loved everything.

Breakfast was just right for two people, so very good thanks.

Just one minor thing. No dish cloth to wipe down bench and table, but would highly recommend staying here. Mel and Shane are great hosts!

One steps into the wonderfully comfortable apartment from the adjacent beautiful garden. Everything is spotlessly clean, the bed is luxurious and a great selection is offered for breakfast.

Everything exceeded expectations.

This was the best apartment we have stayed in during our trip to the North Island. Everything was perfect and the beautiful breakfast was an amazing addition. Thank you Shane and Mel.

Everything was great!

The unique environment setup was one of my favorite aspects of the experience. It truly felt like a home away from home, and I appreciated all of the thoughtful touches that the hosts had put into the space

Such a well finished and equipped space to stay in for a few days, everything you need. Great location for a nice walk to the CBD. Really lovely garden.

Nothing

The breakfast was excellent with fresh fruits, juices, Yoghurts,cereals, and breads. Plenty of milk & butter. Walking tracks close by and the town was only an 8min drive away with plenty of restaurants to go to. The hosts were very friendly and the property had lovely gardens

Nothing

What a beautifully decorated comfortable accomodation, and a lovely peaceful garden.

Just fabulous! Shane and Mel have created a little bit of paradise. Beautiful setting in the garden of their home with its own access. The accommodation is beautifully presented with lots of extra touches to make you feel at home. The breakfast was great and very generous. Their garden is amazing and we were invited to look around and use if we wanted. Sadly the weather wasn’t good enough during our stay.

Absolutely nothing.

awesome suite, beautiful gardens, great restaurant advice.

nothing, although a barbecue grill would be handy.

Breakfast was good, the size of the room was very specious. Good kitchen, everything was very comfortable and extremely clean, with great attention for the small details. Mel and Shane were great.

Everything.

Leaving.

We liked everything about the property - the apartment, the breakfast and especially the garden. The steps to the deck were a highlight - in the sun and in the evening with the lights. Sublime.

Beautiful gardens, comfortable and modern accomodation and getting to use the bikes was a bonus! Great breakfast options too.

Huge quantities of food and great selection

All good

Everything you needed was available and more.

The rain 😭

the garden and the set up (v comfortable)

being on the ground floor and underneath wooden floorboards, so v aware of what occupants upstairs routine in morning and evening was

Our stay and Sequoia Steps was amazing. Mel and Shane were perfect hosts and our every need was accommodated for. The B n B is well considered and catered for and the breakfast provisions are generous and delicious. The setting is gorgeous and Mel and Shane's passion for gardening is obvious. The setting is so serene where your morning alarm is the birdsong. Its a great endorsement when the wild life love it here. We are not over exaggerating how nice this place is to stay. Thank you again.

There is nothing we could fault. Again a perfect place to stay

Peaceful beautiful location decorated well beautiful garden
