Lovely place to stay

The house had all we needed for a few nights away. Easy commute in to New Plymouth. Beautiful gardens to wander around in and ducks and rabbits to interact with. Fiona and Chris were very welcoming.

Family weekend away

Hosts are fantastic, took time to show our grandchildren their animals and let the girls help put the chooks to bed, accommodation is very roomy and so space for everyone, it was hot but you could leave all the windows open which helped (perhaps one day an air conditioner could be installed?). Overall a great place to stay, close to NP itself but semi rural enough to be quiet and relaxing. Certainly somewhere we would stay again.

Waitara wonderland!

Delightful and comfortable place to stay for a family of four, a very reasonable price, and with exceptional hosts, Fiona even made me a hand made leather belt because it was the one thing I forgot. Close enough to New Plymouth that it wasn't an issue doing and seeing all the things we wanted, but was nice to be able to escape the city business for something peaceful and picturesque.

Beautiful place

Fiona and Chris were very accommodating and friendly. It is a great spot for families. My son had a blast swimming in the pool (Fiona and Chris's pool they kindly let vayden use at his pleasure) and shooting hoops. The pictures if the place don't do it justice.

Large family friendly space

Our family loved everything about this stay. Wonderfully warm welcoming hosts, huge space and gardens. We adventured to the White Cliffs which was incredible walking and sunset. Another evening spent at New Plymoth was wonderful. Hosts even helped us dry out our wet camping gear. Cant recomend this Bach highly enough.

Would recommend and would stay again!

Fiona and Chris are the most wonderful hosts. Our elderly family members were so comfortable at this property. The cottage had all they needed for their week stay and the grounds were beautiful to spend time in to unwind. Wider family visited and needless to say we will all be regulars when we come back to Waitara! Ngā mihi kōrua ❤️

Perfect place for our weekend of activities in New Plymouth

Myself and my 4 friends had an incredible weekend on this property - so much land to explore, bunnies, ducks, cats, and very friendly hosts. Fiona even allowed my two extra friends who were visiting from England to park their van on the property so they could spend time with us in the evenings in the house. Couldn't have asked for better, highly recommend!

Spacious home on a wonderful property

We just had a one night stay here but it was a quiet little home. It’s much bigger on the inside than you expect. I wish we had more time to explore the property. Fiona and Chris were lovely. We even accidentally left a couple things when we checked out and were able to meet up with Chris to get them back. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Lovely house, feels spacious. Clean and tidy. Best part was having the fire lit when we arrived and the house being warm. Due to short daylight hours didn't get to explore the garden but it looked great out the windows. Warm and welcoming hosts. Thank you.

One of the best holidays we had

It is our first in Waitara, although we had many in and around New Plymouth, definitely this is the best in that region.Place and surroundings was so pleasing, final full day all of us stayed at the property enjoying the company of pets & nature around. Hosts were so accommodating, our 2 grand children had a whale of a time with their pets and was very reluctant to leave. This will be our first choice if available, in our next visit to New Plymouth region.Specially our grand children want to make it happen soon. Thanks Fiona and Chris for the pleasant and memorable holiday.

An awesome hidden away gem!

This is the perfect spot if you dont want to be amoungst the hustle of the city, but still close enough to do trips in without it being incovienient. Fiona and Chris were amazing, we travelled up for an inline tournament and they even came to watch a game! Everything we needed for a weekend away was there, Chris even came to light the fire (that was awesome, i tried to give it a go but couldnt lol) There was plenty of room with 6 of us, I think weve found our place for everytime were needing to come back to the beautiful Naki. Thanks again for having us guys, we really appreciate it.
