Terry was a fantastic host - so welcoming and my parents absolutely LOVED staying there. They had an amazing dinner at the in-house restaurant and have not stopped talking about how fabulous their stay was! Highly recommend and I have no doubt, they will return.

We loved the tasteful decor of the rooms. As this is a small boutique hotel, you must book your stay early. We made a last minute reservation (around 5pm) therefore we were unable to eat at the restaurant on the evening we arrived, and we were unable to have breakfast the following morning as no chef had been arranged. We had read online that the rooms were very quiet had soundproofing - this was not true and we were glad we had brought earplugs. It is quite close to the road and the traffic was noisy. Apart from that we enjoyed our stay.

A very Nice Hotel

Aptly named Nice Hotel. Quaint and Quirky. Loads of character and charm. Spacious and well set out. Chef provided excellent food. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Handy to downtown New Plymouth. Would stay again if ever returning to the region.
