About this property

Molesworth Cottage - Central location & close to beach

  • Welcome to our cosy cottage located in the heart of New Plymouth.
    Our relaxed beach-style home is perfect for families, small groups, or anyone looking to explore the best of the Taranaki region. Just a short stroll to the vibrant downtown area, you'll have easy access to local cafes, shops, and the iconic coastal walkway. Not to mention walking distance to fabulous swimming beaches.

    Inside, you'll find a welcoming space with a comfy couch and french doors opening to the front porch. The fully equipped kitchen, including Nespresso pod machine, has a basic stock of ingredients for your convenience.

    Three nicely sized bedrooms each have a queen or king-sized bed, of which two have plenty of wardrobe and drawer space.

    Carport parking for a small-medium sized vehicle is at the rear of the cottage. A lockable garden shed is available for use for those travelling with bikes, golf clubs or surf boards etc.

    Please let us know if you need an early check-in or later check-out, and we will try our best to accommodate your request.

    We hope you enjoy our family holiday cottage as much as we do.

This lovely cottage was perfect for our family with 2 teenagers needing a separate bedroom! Location was perfect for access to the waterfront and the town! Apart from being a bit unlucky with the weather, this was a very enjoyable stay! Thankyou so much Kara.

Easy location to all areas. Very comfortable stay for 4 of us. We had beautiful weather and were able to sit under verandah at the end of each busy day. Having a washing machine was a bonus for our 6 night stay. The bedrooms were of a good size as were the beds. Highly recommend Molesworth Cottage as a place to stay. Easy communication with host also!

Cosy cottage close to the beach and town

Loved the cosiness of the cottage and all the little extras that were included in the bathroom and bedrooms. Heating was adequate for winter weekend stay - and beautify beds and bedding to sleep in. Kitchen was perfect for our family needs and everyone had some space to hang out.
