    The property was very close to the Ōkato shops and cafes which was really convenient. In country but close enough to New Plymouth which made it easy. It was super comfortable with a lovely fenced garden - perfect for our dog.

Welcome. My home is your home for your stay. Very private but also in the village of Okato. Many beaches all within a short drive. Skatepark accessible from an adjoining gate. Shared bathroom, Kitchen, lounge, dining, laundry, deck, and garden area all available for your stay. If you have a little dog companion, they are very welcome. Anything you need, please feel free to ask.
I have spent the last 18 months travelling solo and loved my stays in private accomodation. Therefore opening my home to other travellers was something I looked forward to doing.
Okato is a small village 18 min drive from New Plymouth and 10 min drive from Oakura. There is a Four Square which is a 2 minute walk away available for groceries if you need and an award winning cafe just across the road.
