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'

Feedback

  • Warren has a beautiful home with an incredible garden, close to lovely restaurants and cafes. He was a delight to communicate with and provided comprehensive information about the house and area. We truly appreciated how easy Warren made our stay and hope all PLU guests are lucky enough to have an experience like ours.
