Hidden Haven in the hills

Reviewed By Ian W

OMG what an amazing place for my birthday surprise. So the weather may have been a bit moist, who cares when you have such a beautiful calming place to warm by the fire and have a quiet drink. Dinner was faultless. Being vegetarian narrowed our options but the Vege Curry was simply sublime. Desert was a perfect finish to the meal leaving us satisfied and we'll nourished. We took an overnight stay package which included breakfast which we opted for Eggs Benedict, simple but again perfectly balanced and filling. Coffee and hot chocolate were made perfectly. All of the staff interaction was professional but relaxed and courteous. The room we had was comfortable, warm and the spa bath was a bonus surprise. Well done Pete an the team. Stratford Mountain House is an all round winner for accomodation and dining.

One of the best small town Motels we have visited in NZ. Greeting by Caroline was easy and pleasant with a choice of rooms available. Units were clean and tidy and well presented with snacks on the table and great cosmetics in the bathroom. Unit had spa bath and good quality towelling. Would recommend this motel.

I often stay at Northgate for business but have recently tried out The Strand (under same management). It’s modern, warm and the best shower in New Zealand! I’ll definitely be back as this is my favourite option in New Plymouth!

Penrod BnB Shared Home

Simply the Best!

Reviewed By Stopticklingmeplease

Came to New Plymouth with my best friend to have a weekend away and booked into this gem. Without a doubt, it is the loveliest place that I have stayed at… anywhere! Christine and Owen were incredibly welcoming right from the start and made us feel very comfortable. The home is beautiful and every care has been taken to make your stay perfect. It is immaculately clean everywhere. The beds were super comfortable, the room was lovely, light and airy. Breakfast was brilliant with a fantastic selection of cereals, toasts, juice, coffees and spreads. I won’t stay anywhere else in New Plymouth, Penrod has ruined everyone else’s chances.

Very Welcoming,

Reviewed By wanderer582014

We found ourselves in Mokau Motel after a long unexpected drive from Gisborne. The owner was very accomodating, helpful, friendly and made us feel very welcome. We stayed in a upstairs unit. It was bright, light, clean and had amazing views over the sea to the mountain and we enjoyed watching the bird ride the air streams, very relaxing. The bed was comfortable the room had blockout curtains so we had a much welcomed nite sleep. The shower was powerful. We both enjoyed chatting to the owners who gave us valuable local knowledge. Would definitely recommend staying there.
