Ideal accommodation

This accommodation was perfect for our group. The bedrooms were a great size and had everything we needed. Bathroom was lovely and the water pressure was excellent. Having a separate toilet was also useful. Being fully fenced meant our puppies could run around outside to their hearts content. Looking forward to staying here again!!

Fitzroy Hideaway

Great dog friendly property. Comfortable bed, fantastic shower with fab pressure! Plenty of firewood for the fire, just had to buy kindling. Access to main door was not close to car, not ideal if its raining on arrival or departure. Clean and tidy. Location was quiet and handy to CBD. Appreciate that we could bring our dog on holiday.

Amazing spot

I can’t rate this property highly enough. My partner, 2 yr old and small dog needed somewhere central to stay during our visit to Taranaki. Not only did we find that but the property was incredibly clean, spacious and light. But it was the small details like the fluffiest towels (& plenty of them), comfortable beds & linen), hallway storage full of games and toys, child’s playhouse, 2 bathrooms, clothes drying rack, plenty of kitchen utensils etc… Communication was also really prompt especially when I had questions. Thank you so much we had a great time exclamation exploring Taranaki and it was so nice to come home to relax at different parts of the day.

Great place for a family holiday!

Very clean property. Well presented with excellent location and amenities. Very private. Sandra is an excellent hostess. The pikelets and jam upon arrival were a nice touch and much appreciated. Beds were comfortable and property had everything we needed. Only complaint is the tenants upstairs who stomped around at all hours, had loud conversations late at night. We were careful not to disturb them but it wasn’t reciprocated unfortunately.
