We loved the proximity and easy access to the beach. The ability to self cater was great and it had all we needed in the kitchen to sort our meals while we were there. It was close to shops where we could buy food as well as a surf shop where we hired boards for a reasonable price. Our host Suzee was so welcoming and helpful! The house was comfortable, warm and full of light which was so nice considering the weather was not great. There was so much to do over our 3 day stay and hopefully we get back the sometime soon!

The weather was not great but still managed to get a surf in every day and sometimes twice a day. Brilliant surf beach!

The location was amazing. Such a great choice to stay outside of New Plymouth and wake up to the quiet and the beach every morning. Being on the second level looking out on the beach was like being in a treehouse or lookout. Two large bedrooms, own kitchen facilities, separate toilet, shower and a bath (yay!), plus large lounge/dining to spread out, Netflix was a hit especially because it rained a lot. Access to the beach from house (wear jandals though, because there is prickles in the campground you cut through to the beach). Great conversation and advice from the hosts. A real home away from home. Would 100% stay here again.

A couple of minor things, like a better chopping board would be good.

The property is a one-off, set back from the main new Plymouth town In oakura. It meant that we could relax on a small town with views over the beach. The owners were very attentive, but left us with privacy after the initial introductions. The property is clean, decorated in a home away from home way that makes it very comfortable.

Nothing to do with the property as such, but beware the sandflies on the beach…. They are voracious and any bites take weeks to go.

The apartment was spacious and very comfortable and had a beautiful view of the ocean. We enjoyed the sunsets and the sound of the waves at night. The beach was a 3 minute walk from the bottom of the garden. The location is excellent with New Plymouth and the National Park easily accessible.

Great location with easy access to beach and walk to the township. Lovely views over the beach from the terrace. Very quiet - very spacious.

To be very critical the living room drapes are a bit dark and dated and the bedroom linen a tad tired.

Definitely noticed the small things that make it a home away from home. Freshly cut flowers in the lounge. Home grown tomatoes in the kitchen. Super comfy bed, lovely fluffy smelling towels and bedding. Seeing the sea and hearing it was bliss! Will definitely be back

Nothing comes to mind.

View was fantastic. Clean and well equipped kitchen. Balcony was nice. Direction access to the beach. New Zealand Monopoly. Heater was good in the living room. Plenty of towels and toiletries. Comfortably place to stay. Convenient to visit New Plymouth.

We loved the location. The premises were really comfortable and well equipped. The host was really friendly and helpful, going the extra mile for us. Garden was beautiful! We were out and about a lot, but would have been quite comfortable just relaxing at the premises too.

Beautiful view from the property. We were made to feel very welcome when we arrived and during our entire stay. In fact our hostess was amazing 👏 Thank you

The weather wasn't kind - but can't help that!

Spacious apartment type with sea views.

We were a family of 4. But the bedrooms setup (2 large beds) is better suited for 2 couples. Not really 2 teenagers, brother and sister…However the problem was solved with a trundle bed placed in the lounge.
