Cassie & Shaun Conaglen
Little Church Bay is a unique property which has been newly constructed using recycled materials where possible by Shaun (owner). Shaun has used his imagination to build a little Church which is cosy & romantic without leaving out any modern luxuries. By far the most striking feature of this property is its location as it is absolute beachfront with some of the best waves in Taranaki a few feet away. Little Church Bay is a rather large piece of waterfront land so in addition to being a B&B the property is also available to be hired for functions the most common of which are Wedding Ceremonies. Shaun has built a driftwood arch which overlooks the ocean and is perfect for that special day.
Shaun and I are originally from New Plymouth however have recently returned to New Plymouth having returned from living in Sydney for over 20 years. We have two teenage children, a dog and a cat. We are very much outdoor loving people with hobbies that include hanging out with family and friends, surfing, stand up paddle boarding, snow boarding, mountain biking, running, walking, cooking and yoga.
