    Perfect!! Highly recommend. Clean, comfortable and cosy. Quiet, peaceful and relaxing. It's a few minutes drive from New Plymouth but was definitely worth it for the peace and quiet. Great communication from the hosts.

Escape; a beautifully appointed ground floor, king studio unit adjoining Ron and Sue's home, is situated on a small lifestyle block in rural New Plymouth, Taranaki, just 7.5km from the CBD. Escape is great location from which to explore Taranaki’s many attractions, or simply sit back and relax, enjoying the rural outlook the developing native and tropical gardens, abundant bird life, a small flock of pet Arapawa sheep, night time stars, and having a soak in the private outdoor clawfoot bath. The studio has off street carparking, a private entrance onto its own deck and garden area, an ensuite bathroom with shower, basin and toilet. The open plan living area includes a king bed with quality linens, blockout blinds, wardrobe, sofa, dining table and chairs, free internet connection, flat screen internet based TV and sound system, Air Con heating and cooling.
