Great hosts beautiful setting amazing stay
This experience is exactly how book a bach works at its best
This is a shared property with the owner. Have not struck this before however there were no issues. Not being able to use the kitchen other than for breakfast, meant dining out each night was the only option, but New Plymouth has some great restaurants.

New Plymouth stay
My partner and I spent 3 nights with Judy and Dennis who were very charming, caring and friendly hosts. They quickly made us feel welcome and at home. The accommodation was warm and cosy. The beds were very comfortable so we both slept well.
All in all, we loved the location because of its proximity to the city centre and
It contributed to a very memorable stay in New Plymouth. We highly recommend our stay.

Didn't actually stay these dates as my Mum died unexpectedly. Judy allowed us to cancel at the last minute and rebook at a later date, which was very kind and considerate.
