Everything was great.
Would be great to be able to adjust room temperature better.
和名字非常符合 是住过最好的BNB 非常干净整洁 床很舒服 周围很安静 非常完美的住宿 早饭很丰盛 如果再来一定还会定的
The room was cozy and very well-equipped with a nice private bathroom, bed was very comfortable, had a large TV. Communal kitchen had everything you need.
The location was a bit off-site and hard to navigate, but with a car it was not a major issue.
EVERYTHING. Thank you for being so wonderful
Clean and spacious.
Nice quiet clean room. Everything I needed for just a night. I didn’t use the communal kitchen, but it looked well equipped. As I arrived around 11pm it was good to be able to self check in, only minor problem was being the last in the car park, it was tight parking my large rental. Would definitely stay again here again next time I’m in New Plymouth.
All good.
Private residence
Did not have physical contact with hosts
Amazing place. Very tranquil and love the sound of the river running in the background. A very beautiful and quiet setting
Everything was amazing
Room was very clean & tidy, nice view of the garden & stream. Communal kitchen available for use
The house is located right at the creek and beautiful backyard, Room facilities, host Ian is a amazing person and helpful.
Nothing
Location, facilities and privacy
No negatives
Great facilities in the room with fridge and electric jug,tea/ coffee provisions as well as use of full communal kitchen. Lovely bathroom with the room. Clean and fresh. Wonderful place to stay in peaceful setting
Very comfortable and easy to find.
Quiet, clean & tidy & comfortable
Lovely bush and stream setting, good parking, modern clean rooms.
Exceptionally clean and well appointed. A lovely location with picturesque stream. Owners emphasised to ring them if we needed anything - we didn’t need to. Excellent value for money at a weekend when a lot of New Plymouth was booked out.
Nothing - it suited us perfectly.
Great location
N/A
Quiet environment warm bed comfortable shower and ablutions great seamless transitions
Little intermittent hum on bed room fridge very minor
Clean and tidy, with a kitchen and a full range of kitchen utensils provided. The biggest surprise was the dishwasher, which was very convenient. The dining area and table were also quite large, and the outside of the hotel was very beautiful as well.
It would be even better if more seasonings were provided, as I only found a small bottle of salt and white pepper.
Although the rooms are spacious, clean and very well-equipped, the rates are very reasonable, and I found it to be an excellent place to stay.
As it’s tucked away quite a bit, you might find it a little tricky to locate.
we loved this place. sure it looks nice in the pictures but the pictures really don’t do this BnB justice, it’s so much prettier in real life. We got the door code sent to us the morning of our arrival and could check in by ourselves which was very convenient. the location the house is in is gorgeous, it’s up on a little hill with only one house next to it so it’s very quiet, and there‘s a little river right behind the house. there‘s a patio to sit outside, a well equipped kitchen for guests, and even a washing machine you can use for a couple bucks. the double room we were in was larger than it looked in the pictures, very clean and felt nice and bright with a lot of windows. bathroom fully stocked and squeaky clean too. Even though the place is beautiful my favourite part is that there was a heating pad on the (already very comfortable) bed, which just about made my night because it was so cozy. also each side of the bed had two different types of pillow so you can pick what you prefer.
nothing, it was perfect
The beds were very comfortable, and the Wi-Fi connection was excellent. The kitchen was very well-equipped, and check-in was quick and easy. The location is perfect for Taranaki track.The price is very reasonable for the quality of the stay. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, the hot shower was perfect. 10/10
Tolles, sehr schön eingerichtetes zimmer, küche und esszimmer waren supet
A beautifully located and very clean B&B with a large garden and a very well-equipped communal area. Check-in and check-out were completely anonymous and worked very well. I would gladly return anytime.
The room was rather small but adequate.
Mattress, shower, toliet, fridge, wardrobe shelves, blood orange drink. Thank you so much
Duvet smells like someone's feet, No choices for lighter duvet as not everyone likes air-conditioning, duvet is for winter and too hot, Room is too small to be able to fit bedside tables and sometimes it is a bit hard to get around for 2 people, Not enough bench top space in ensuit to be able to put more things which are away from water to avoid from getting wet, No coasters for hot cups provided and no placemats for wooden dinning table No net curtains or roller blind as sun filter, also to keep privacy during daytime is better and more comfortable.
Pretty river but it didn’t look easy to get down to. Good ensuites. Just the bedding really plus it’s a bit tricky to go back out to get something to eat once you’re there. Perhaps best to make use of the very nice kitchen facilities.
The 4 rooms were full on a Tuesday night so I think they can afford new pillows and Duvets. The duvet was the thickest, hottest, most polyester thing known to man and there was no alternative so you either boiled or froze. The pillows were either ancient and lumpy or hard. The outside looked very intended with long grass and old pots lying around. The security guard (?) came at 6am with his car stereo absolutely pumping. But the traffic noise and the duvet hadn’t allowed any sleep anyway so not to worry.
Easy access clean and simple. Good quality bedding and towels
Großer Gemeinschaftsraum und Küche mit kompletter Einrichtung, sauber, ein neues Bad/Dusche, parken vorm Haus, ruhig im Grünen.
Zimmer Einrichtung etwas in Jahre gekommen. Bettwäsche? Lage bekannt, aber relativ von Innenstadt entfernt.

Location
TV only 1 channel as per previous feed back and water tasted mouldy(earthy) glad for bottle water in fridge.
Facilities were fabulous. Couldn't get the TV to work, though it wasn't a big deal. Beautiful scenery and very peaceful.
Lawns needed mowing, guessing it's owners don't live there.
Brilliant location. Amazing house with clean kitchen and rooms.
The location is excellant
The TV didn’t work.
L'emplacement le long d'une rivière mais notre chambre était côté parking, avec une climatisation très bruyante
La réponse lorsque nous avons demandé un complément d'adresse car le message avait été envoyé tardivement le jour même et non la veille comme habituellement. La personne a été très sèche.
Sänky hyvä. Oma wc ja suihku on hyvä. Myöhäinen check in onnistui! Ilmainen parkkipaikka.
Seinät paperia ja kuului kaikki viereisistä huoneista. Sijainti kaukana kaikesta.
Entorno tranquilo. Habitación nueva y limpia. Desayuno correcto. Cama comfortable.
Habitación pegada a la cocina, aunque no hubo ruidos.
The bottled water, as the New Plymouth tap water, is not a great taste
Las vistas de la habitación. Y la limpieza
Nada
Great Quiet Location, well set up facilities
Perfect place. Really relaxing spot and not far from the highlights of the area
Great place, you are so close to nature that it makes it extra special. I guess you need to be lucky about who the other guests are (in terms of noise and clean kitchen). - you can see they put effort on having it very clean
- down side: room is a bit cramped up + noise fridge next to your bed
The setting is absolutely gorgeous. We regretted that we only booked one night.
Comfortable, and I had everything I needed.
There was nothing not to like.
Ontbijt prima
.
Excelentes vistas. Luminoso. Silencioso. Desayuno con detalle y variedad. Cama supercomoda. Permite aparcar. Flexibilidad de horario de llegada. Checking sencillo. Instalaciones excelentes.
El link de google maps nos llevaba a otro lugar. Llamamos por teléfono y en seguida nos dieron solución. Muy rápidos y amables. Tomaron nota del error
Great hosts and facilities
Would recommend this place to anyone staying in New Plymouth. Host was super responsive and had great local tips. Our room was perfectly clean with own bathroom. The shared kitchen was perfectly equipped with everything you need. The house itself is located only a couple minutes out of town in a super quiet and lovely area right next to a river. Loved this BnB and would stay there again anytime!!
everything was great
Great facilities and clean and tidy
Beautiful and picturesque property by a running stream All features and amenities that you would want from a BnB … well done 👍😀
Can only endorse all other reviews as we loved the accomodations and will be back next time we visit New Plymouth
Nothing except a map of the city in the. Rooms folder would be handy if you. Haven,t a GPS to find your way around
Big bed, tv was a good size, bathroom was nice and clean, easy access to room with door security!
Nothing! Was very nice.
The Location is in a secluded valley with a stream running through which adds a peaceful surrounding after a day of busy meetings with many people. The socializing is just great, but to come to a peaceful quiet evening to your own thoughts and a read was very pleasant. We used the walking biking tracks when the weather permitted for our commute into town. (and the Coronation drive if it was wet/raining) (We brought our bikes for this purpose)
1./ The lighting for the main room was adequate, but the reading lights were a bit flimsy. 2./ There could be a bedside cabinet included. (one side with fridge) other with cabinet would have helped. Comment: If you were here for only a night, these comments may not apply so much as you would only drag in a bag for the night and gone the next day.
Najbardziej komfortowy pobyt jaki pamiętam. Łatwe zameldowanie, pokój mały ale idealnie przemyślany i dostosowany do krótkiego pobytu. Podgrzewany materac był wisienką na torcie. Poza tym świetna lokalizacja, 15 minut od początku szlaku na Taranaki Tarns.
Nic nie zauważyłam :)
Good value for money. Was a convenient location. Very clean & functional.
It must have been a mistake, but we were only supplied with 1 bath towel for the 2 of us. The place smelt strongly of cleaning materials. Mattress very firm, & room too hot, so didn't sleep very well.
Very comfortable baby, we enjoyed 2 nights there.
NA
My room was very comfortable with a great view of the river. Very relaxing.
Location next to small river
Nothing
Super fast internet
Loved everything
Clean, functional Thanks
Bedding was too warm At night, had difficulty recognising the keypad on the door
It was a quiet safe place for me to stay for work. I got help when asked & cooking facilities good in the shared kitchen
Cozy and quiet place near the town with full facilities
It was a perfect place is you’re looking for calm , tidy, and want to spend slower days to relax. The best escapade for a Birthday trip indeed.
Room was clean
1. Location - not straightforward. I first bumped into a private house. There were no sign boards to direct anyone to the property. Also when u finally reach the property (on guess work) you are still trying to figure out whether you bumped into another private house as there are no welcoming sign boards on the building. 2. Door unlocking codes were sent to me in time but it was unclear and not easy to use them on actual keypads. 3. Room was stuffy, tight one. You have barely any space even to move!! Table for making tea/coffee was a unstable, tiny one. Heat pump kept turning off 4. Rooms are located both sides of narrow corridor just like in an old school hostel 5. Overall NEVER felt I was in 'heaven'
