Getting around
Located in the centre of a lovely village and all shops are a 1 minute walk away. There are also several good eating places in the village, however a short drive to the Coastal city of New Plymouth, offers several gourmet award winning restaurants.
Also, despite being in the middle of a town, the home is totally private and you could almost be living in the Country but with everything at your 'doorstep'
