Conflicting thoughts
Lovely location House is in need of a little TLC. The impressive looking bathroom lacked any water pressure for the fancy shower head and it would have been good to have a floor squeegee to mop up the water. Lounge furniture could do with an upgrade. The ripped couch didn't quite fit with the overall grandeur of the rest of the property. Was great that we could take our dog along. Host was friendly and curteous.

Bridal Accommodation
We booked the accomodation for my wedding, the property manager came over and chatted and explained there would be a tree taken down on the Saturday, I requested that the driveway remain free for guests to come and go throughout the day but had no problems with the diggers etc... the next morning was checkout and he came back with a hamper full of goodies to apologise for the tree removal... he was so lovely and the gift was so kind. as I was the bride I was slightly hungover so I hadn't read the predeparture email unfortunately so I know I didn't clean the house as I should've... so that was totally my bad, I apologise for that. But thankyou so so much for your hospitality and kindness, made my wedding day that much more special, thankyou so much :)

Beautiful house
We had a great time exploring Mt Taranaki with our kids and this house made the perfect place to stay. A lovely rural setting without being too far from Mt Taranaki and New Plymouth. The house itself is lovely and well equipped to cook dinner or relax with a glass of wine. The hosts were very welcoming, we would definitely recommend!

Mixed feelings
While we had a fun stay in this lovely old farm homestead, we were constantly having to contact the agent and/or owner in order to get help with the tv, heater in kitchen, finding a corkscrew. Unfortunately only the master bedroom has full curtains and two bedside lamps—the other two bedrooms only have sheers, one bedside lamp room 2, none in room 3. Water pressure in the large bathroom is very poor. Lots of cobwebs in the house. The furniture in the lounge/tv room is very uncomfortable. We nevertheless made the most of our time in the house (the kitchen is superb!) and really appreciated that we could have our dogs with us, and there was plenty of space on the property for them to sniff around and play. The owner, Dave, who lives on the property is a very friendly chap who was most helpful in sorting out a few issues we had. Overall we enjoyed our stay!
